LINCOLNROSE made all over 7f here last time to win by a neck. Today's shorter trip shouldn't be a problem and she can shrug off a penalty and go in again in this company. Most of today's opposition arrive out of form with the exception of My Sweet Lord who finished third at Chepstow on his reappearance and should be thereabouts again. Delphica is less exposed than most and may do better this year while Majestic Red has tumbled down the weights and could prove best of the remainder.
