Verdict
Silent Agenda has been raised 7lb for winning at Ripon but there looks more to come and she’s preferred to the penalised Lingfield winner Come On Girl. Buy Me Back finished runner-up on the Turf course at Lingfield last time but Pink Flamingo disappointed when sent off favourite over the minimum trip here. Lorna Cole is upped in class but VELETA returned to action with a length defeat at Wolverhampton and gets the vote in this given Clive Cox’ in-form yard also won this last year with a filly representing Cheveley Park.
