      Verdict

      A tricky contest with several having their first start in a handicap and likely to improve. That includes the Irish raider DREAM POINT, who was placed over today’s trip at Lingfield on an earlier foray to these shores and Joseph O’Brien’s filly gets the vote. Finisher and Cross Swords are others with scope while the more exposed pair Rustang and Knight In Armour return to action with the former making more appeal on last year’s course and distance success.
