Verdict
Mostly dead wood in this but Sir Lancelott won over a shorter trip here last month before finishing behind third-placed VISION OF BEAUTY over track and trip on his latest start. The latter was making her handicap debut on that occasion and there should be more to come from Keith Dalgleish’s filly today sporting first-time headgear. Suitsus was beaten less than a length at Lingfield last time and is another to consider but the remainder make no appeal in a poor handicap.
