Verdict
Zebs Lad has been thereabouts of late having slipped down the weights but maiden winners Middle East Pearl and Landing Light are both less exposed and likely to improve past the former. EXCEEDINGLY (NAP) attempted to make all at Chelmsford last time on only her second start handicapping but faded in the closing stages. Bob Cowell's filly gets another chance in this dropping down a grade. There was little between Jebediah Shine and Multi Quest when they filled the places at Lingfield last time but neither threatened the winner.
