Verdict
There's just a bit of a question mark hanging over easy Lingfield winner QUITE A THING after she failed when long odds-on at Beverley last week, but she gets 3lb from Ballyea here and that may be enough to swing things her way. Following a promising debut over 7f, Richard Hannon's filly just held on over 6f at Newbury last month but drops again in distance today. Powerful Wind and Fanrouge have both won a race but are likely to struggle against the principals on these terms.
