Verdict
A large field goes to post for this claimer but on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning and the main protagonists look to be Lambe De La See, Its Sunny and Dusky Light and the vote goes to Lambe De La See. The selection is taking a big drop in class a a reproduction of her fourth behind French Mannequin a couple of runs ago would make her hard to beat. Its Sunny rates the main danger on her latest fifth behind Severn Air but all her form has been on ground no softer than good to firm so she can not be backed with any confidence. Dusky Light is another that could go well she is one of the least exposed in the field and she was a fair sixth not beaten far behind Glencoyle last time that form has since been franked and she will not be far away. Of the remainder Beetle Bug is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Lambe De La See.
