Verdict
LUSCIFER bids for a hat-trick of course and distance victories having beaten a subsequent winner last week. He scored with plenty to spare and doesn’t look to have finished winning yet, especially given today’s opposition looks distinctly modest to say the least. Fenix may do better back over a mile today while Wots The Wifi Code is upped in trip from 6f and I Had A Dream has switched yards and makes her handicap debut on her first outing for over a year.
