In depth
Verdict
Vivency finished closer at Wolverhampton and is going the right way but the four-year-old is conceding plenty of weight to the younger LOYAL HAVANA. The latter can take advantage having finished third at Lingfield last time despite having to be switched for a clear run and Nick Littmoden’s charge gets the nod. Melody Of Life disappointed dropped back to today’s trip Lingfield last week while Polar Ice cost 120,000gns as a half-brother to a winner and is a newcomer to note.
