Verdict
LITTLECOTE LADY has slipped down the weights and it could be her turn again today in a lottery of a sprint. Little Choosey won a Class 7 event at Wolverhampton before failing to figure at the same track while Waterloo Dock could only manage third at Lingfield last time having also won at Wolverhampton earlier. The veteran Steel City Boy went close over track and trip last week but hasn't won for over two years now.
