Verdict
Lake Sand bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins having beaten subsequent 7f winner Dors Toyboy last month. Chillsea went close at Kempton having won at Wolverhampton earlier and Diamonds At Dusk has been thereabouts at Kempton recently. But a chance is taken on FINERY, who struggled on heavy going at Leicester last time having earlier won a higher grade contest than this at the same track and Mick Appleby’s charge gets the vote.
