In depth
Verdict
The 12-year-old veteran LYTHAM scored over course and distance last week. He still has a bit to spare on his best form despite a penalty and can confirm running with the runner-up Brave Decision. The latter has a chance on slightly better terms and Angelena Ballerina went close in this grade at Wolverhampton on her penultimate start. Querido has been back on a winning mark for some time and can figure if at his best but it's more difficult to make a serious case for any of the remainder.
