Verdict

Mabre won over a mile at Lingfield recently but has yet to score over a shorter trip while Turbo Command finally landed a handicap when returning a 25/1 winner over course and distance. But it could be the turn of DAAFY today as he finished in front of Bobby Joe Leg when runner-up here on his penultimate start and the latter had earlier beaten Martin's Brig at the track. Course regular Custard The Dragon has won nine terms at this venue though is struggling at present.
