Verdict
Plenty can be given a chance in this including SPIRIT OF GONDREE, beaten less than a length when third at Chelmsford last time and racing off the same mark today. Milton Bradley's charge gets a tentative vote though Zed Candy Girl returned to winning ways with a victory at Kempton last month and can figure while Lord Of The Storm is only 4lb higher than when winning over track and trip. Ellaal went close at Chelmsford a week ago and West Leake has been in the mix at Lingfield recently and finished just ahead of Hawk Moth when runner-up on his latest start.
