Verdict
PETE SO HIGH showed further progress when adding to an earlier win at Ripon with an easy succeess at Lingfield. Silvestre De Sousa was on board for both of those wins and the partnership can come out best once again. Milky Way was narrowly beaten in an amateurs' race at Newbury but Inconceivable is preferred on her recent placed efforts off similar marks to today's. Lyrica's Lion has something to prove over the trip and Melabi continues to struggle.
