Verdict
A competitive handicap for the prize money and Inviolable Spirit could be interesting having been highly tried last season after making a winning debut at Redcar. Faadhel makes his handicap debut for the Varian team having had just the three runs and he has experience of the track. Jungle Room has a similar profile but CLOUD EIGHT has shown improvement at Lingfield since stepped up to 7f and appears to have the beating of Newcastle winner Ventura Gold so gets the nod. Campion is having her first run for a new yard but she ran in the Woodcote last year and Listed races at Newmarket and Sandown. Dropped 3lb since a fair handicap debut at Goodwood in September, she has been given every chance by the assessor in a race like this if fit. Milton Road also warrants a mention.
