Verdict
Lingfield winner Something Lucky is probably best watched given the eight-year-old has never been successful on Turf in this country. Kempton scorer Becker is 0-5 on the surface but Invincible Larne won on fast going at Yarmouth last year and is generally consistent at this level. BHANGRA won a novice event over track and trip on her second start on Turf. She missed the break on her reappearance at Newcastle but still wasn’t disgraced and there is plenty of scope for improvement. Our Oystercatcher has been dropped a couple of pounds since Newbury and should also be thereabouts.
