Verdict

MUSICAL MYSTERY won over 6f at Wolverhampton last month but had scored over today’s trip at Lingfield earlier and is preferred to Kodias Sangarius. The latter won over 6f here recently and remains on a winning mark while Rich Rhythm had been in the mix before upped in class last time. Arranmore drops down in trip having switched yards since last in action.
