        Verdict

        A competitive event with a number of in-form rivals in opposition but Lygeton Lad has proved most progressive this winter and is taken to land the spoils. Gay Kelleway's charge is particularly effective on this surface having scored twice at Lingfield during the winter and looked most unlucky off his current mark when finding trouble in running over a mile here last month. The five-year-old ran well when fourth at Wolverhampton last Saturday but promises to be much better suited by this quicker surface. Rafferty showed improvement when landing a conditions event over this trip on the same card at Wolverhampton and can confirm the placings with Granny's Pet on 5lb better terms so rates a big danger while proven all-weather performers such as Sundried Tomato and Middleton Grey are others to consider. James Fanshawe's Eyecatcher returns after a break of 11 weeks but had looked on the upgrade and enters calculations while hat-trick seeking Miss George carried a welter burden to score over course and distance last time and has place claims.
