      Verdict

      Nampara won at Lingfield last time but this is tougher while Tafawoq was still well beaten when placed at Doncaster last time and goes handicapping for the first time. Lalania wasn’t beaten far when third at Brighton and should go well again but MOUNT WELLINGTON (NAP) is preferred. The latter has slid 9lb down the weights this year and a recent placed effort over course and distance suggests a return to winning ways is imminent. Roland Rocks has also tumbled down the weights but has yet to show any benefit.
