Verdict
Aldreth was less than a length in front of Percy Veer with Cotton Club and Excellent Puck further behind when scoring over 2m at Chelmsford three weeks ago. A change of apprentice effectively allows Mick Easterby’s charge to race off a lower mark today with Lewis Edmunds’ 7lb allowance taken into account and he should go close again. But CHARISMATIC MAN is preferred having won over 1m4f here before only finding the progressive Alfredo too good over today’s trip at Lingfield. The veteran Zakatal came up against another progressive sort in Isharah at Newcastle last time and should go well.
