Verdict
CADLAND LAD is a long-standing maiden but certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn having gone close several times recently on Polytrack off this sort of mark. Lady Bacchus will probably make a bold bid to defy the penalty she picked up for winning over track and trip 10 days ago. Captain Scooby beat Ryan Style and Dream Ally at Chelmsford last month but the latter comes out best at the weights today. Chester Deelyte is unlikely to be far away and looks the pick of the remainder ahead of Justice Pleasing and Whispering Wolf.
