      Verdict

      KEEPER returned an easy winner when landing the odds at Lingfield in first-time blinkers. A non-runner on the Turf yesterday, he can defy a rise in the weights in this. Imperial Sun improved on his handicap debut at Nottingham and takes a further step up in distance along with Thunder Ahead, who finished runner-up in maiden company at Bath. Epic Pass posted a better effort last time while the returning Midfield should be noted stepping up from a mile for this.
