Verdict
This is no better than the previous division with Wolverhampton winner No Diggity beaten back at the same track off today’s mark last time though still finished in front of Plunger. The veteran Chetan posted one of his better efforts at Lingfield last time and Stringybark Creek may improve with blinkers applied for this but a token vote goes to the unexposed PERFECT SUNSET, who finished runner-up over 6f here earlier and returns to this longer trip for her handicap debut.
