Verdict

THEHEARTNEVERLIES may well turn out to be the archetypal Sir Mark Prescott improver now he tackles a distance more in tune with his breeding. He starts off in handicaps on a very lowly mark so can get the better of penalised Chelmsford winner Monsaraz and Beverley fourth Talking About You. Others almost certain to improve as three-year-olds include Willy Nilly and Itmusthavebeenlove. Uncle Sid was staying on over a mile at Lingfield so looks the pick of the remainder.
