Verdict
Several posted better efforts at Lingfield last time. That list includes SEA OF REALITY, a recent runner-up over today’s trip despite a tardy start with further progress expected in this. Spirit Of Lucerne finished a bit closer when third at Lingfield and Favori Royal also showed improvement at the latter track without threatening the winner. Easy Money makes a belated debut but is bred for further and fellow newcomers Dahawi and Guiding Spirit are preferred.
