Verdict
Lady Cristal, Dapper Man and Lightoller have all been beaten since winning earlier in the year but several of these have been threatening to get their heads in front with recent placed efforts. Sheepscar Lad went close over 6f here when caught on the line but The Nazca Lines was beaten a couple of lengths when second at Haydock last week. LAWLESS LOUIS never looked like catching the winner at Wolverhampton last time but was narrowly beaten over the minimum trip at Ripon earlier and gets another chance to go one better in this.
