      Verdict

      Woop Woop's winning run came to end at Lingfield on her latest start, but she's looked in the grip of the handicapper before and suddenly found more improvement. She's not easily dismissed here, but was beaten by Kames Park last time and the latter had earlier finished behind TORNADO FORCE. Jeremy Noseda's charge is steadily progressing and looks capable of following up his latest Lingfield victory off a 3lb higher mark. The remainder are all struggling for form and hard to fancy.
