Verdict

LYONS LANE posted one of her better efforts when beaten less than a length over track and trip a week ago and may prove good enough. Newgate Angel was well beaten over 6f at Redcar last time but had finished closer over today’s trip at the same track before that when ahead of Blackcurrent while Alqaab slides further down the weights and could figure. Independence Day has bits of form and Warrior's Valley can race off a much lower mark back on Turf having done all his winning on the all-weather so far.
