Verdict
Finn Lambert is a gifted conditional rider and having scored on METHODTOTHEMAGIC at Southwell, he will be hoping to repeat the dose this afternoon. Stamina Chope came in for strong support last time out and has certainly dropped a fair way in the weights over the preceding 12 months. Energy Two is respected given connections, while at the very bottom of the weights, Celestial Park will have her supporters given the manner with which she obliged at Uttoxeter. Rosearelli returns from over 500 days off the track but Richard Newland is more than capable of having them ready at the first time of asking.
