Verdict
CANASTA won at Wolverhampton before beaten less than a length when fourth in a blanket finish at Lingfield off today’s higher mark. She still beat a subsequent winner on that occasion and is preferred to Noble Fox. The latter finished in front of Admodum, due to run at Lingfield yesterday, when narrowly beaten at the latter track while First Flight ran well in a claimer at Wolverhampton last time and this looks no tougher. Lucky's Dream returns to action having landed a double on Turf earlier and won on this card last year while Andaleep could figure back at this lower level but Fronsac steps up in trip.
