      Verdict

      Most step up in trip including Man Made Of Smoke though he was still beaten a long way when runner-up here. Mother India ran well enough in a higher grade contest upped to a mile at Kempton last time but several make their handicap debuts. Of those, Smooth Ryder and Bright Side Girl expected to improve but a speculative vote goes to DENSETSU, who would have finished closer over today’s trip at Lingfield with a clear run.
