Verdict
Reeves scored over track and trip last month but is upped a couple of grades off a higher mark for this. Alemaratalyoum is preferred at this level though remains 7lb higher than an earlier success at Goodwood and a chance is taken on LUCYMAI. Dean Ivory’s mare was eased down in Listed company at Lingfield once her chance had gone but that was her first outing since January and she won off a higher mark here last year. Jack's Point has a shout on an earlier third here when ahead of a below par Keyser Soze while Muntadab is another with the past form to figure but is hard to recommend on recent efforts.
