In depth
Verdict
Lord Lamington won over 1m4f at Newcastle before finding one too good over a shorter trip at Lingfield but is now 11lb higher than that earlier success. SEEUSOON is less exposed having landed a maiden race at Newcastle last month when beating a subsequent winner with the rest nowhere and Andrew Balding’s colt can go in again over this longer trip on his handicap debut. Surrey Warrior steps up from 1m2f on his handicap bow and Tigray debuts for a new yard having failed to win in seven outings for Joseph O’Brien in Ireland.
