      Verdict

      DAMNED ELUSIVE proved well suited to today’s trip when scoring with plenty left in the tank at Lingfield. An apprentice’s allowance negates most of a 7lb rise and Andrew Balding’s filly can go in again. The remainder step up in trip including dual 1m2f winner Classy Dame, who is upped in class and raised 7lb. Dancing King is preferred to both Way Of Life and Prey For Glory of those handicapping for the first time.
