    Verdict

    UNITED FRONT finished well ahead of Habit Rouge when scoring over a mile last month. He’s 4lb higher today but Mick Appleby’s colt had gone close in a more competitive race than this over today’s trip at Lingfield earlier and looks worth sticking with on that form. Society Red is upped in class after winning at Newcastle while Songkran scored at the same track before struggling at Lingfield last week.
