Verdict
Limit showed a liking for the Polytrack at Lingfield last time and can land this similar event from Neutrino and Annibale Caro. Mick Channon's filly finished a close second behind the well backed Musical Day, with some promising types behind. Unless any of the newcomers are a bit special she should be good enough to land this prize. Luca Cumani doesn't send many runners to Wolverhampton so Neutrino, a recent fourth at Doncaster, has to be given every respect. Annibale Caro is bred to get a lot further but put up a decent display at Lingfield last time and could sneak into a place. Newcomer Sea Lark caches the eye on pedigree and should be noted for any market moves, but Limit is the clear form choice and gets a confident vote.
