Verdict
Miss Heritage is eased in the weights again and wasn’t beaten far dropping back into this grade at Lingfield. GRAN LUNA only beat Voice Of Calm a head here three weeks ago with Megan third Pogo I Am fourth. Nicky Henderson’s mare has been raised 2lb but the runner-up is only a pound better off and struggles to get her head in front so Nico de Boinville’s mount, now 3-3 on the course, can confirm the form and win again.
