Verdict
METHAYEL scored twice at Brighton last term and so nearly made a winning reappearance at Lingfield when headed at the post. She's taken to go one better with Ryan Moore getting the leg-up today. L'Hirondelle is a rare winner these days but has slipped down the weights as a consequence and posted a better effort last time. He's preferred to Zaheeb, who has gone off the boil since winning over C&D in March, but October's Wolverhampton winner Good Authority is not out of this if fully primed on his reappearance.
