Verdict
Dream Magic won at Lingfield before attempting to make all over track and trip and fading in the final furlong. LOST HISTORY was one of those who swept past the former to take second place, only a length behind the winner. That was his first outing back on the Flat since joining John Spearing and he looks capable of winning off his current mark. Thawry was placed here before disappointing at Newcastle while Taurean Dancer was in good form at Lingfield at the end of last year. Star Ascending narrowly beat Ice Canyon over course and distance in January but has struggled subsequently while Sir Gnet recorded his only success so far over a shorter distance.
