In depth
Verdict
Craved placed against older horses at Lingfield without looking like winning and has to concede plenty of weight to these three-year-olds. Of those, OUT OF THE EAST was in contention until drifting in the closing stages over 7f at Wolverhampton and the return to today’s trip will suit. Maybe One Day finished in front of Mollys Brother over 7f here though never threatened and Air Time may prove a bigger danger ahead of fellow newcomer Seeking Perfection.
