Verdict
None of these inspire confidence but SOUNDBYTE has won over today’s trip in the past and will be sharper for a recent reappearance at Lingfield. The veteran may yet have another win in him. Dalavand hasn’t won anywhere yet though finished ahead of Par Three when fourth at Lingfield recently while dual hurdles winner Vedani has not won on the Flat since 2012. Topalova is getting steadily closer and may prove best of the rest.
