In depth
Verdict
RED EVELYN has placed on Turf recently but was beaten less than a length when last seen over track and trip in March and is 2lb lower today with Adam Kirby’s presence taking the eye. Street Poet is usually in the mix at this level but Nigg Bay’s earlier success at Lingfield came over the minimum trip. Babe Alicious finished in front of Giant Steps when placed here in May and can figure again.
