Verdict
The progressive LAURENTIA was winning for the fourth time this year when scoring over today’s trip at Lingfield. There could be more to come over the distance and she’s preferred to Kingson, who won at Wolverhampton last time and is 6lb higher. Channel Packet steps up in trip on his first outing since February while Fortune Finder makes his handicap debut and Calidus Mirabilis won here early in the year and has been hurdling since joining Amy Murphy.
