      Verdict

      Arctic Lynx is a rare winner nowadays and doesn't appeal as one likely to follow up a recent win at Kempton. If So couldn't cope with a further 4lb rise at the same track last time having landed a double at Lingfield before that while Big Wave's victory at Leicester last month came in a lower grade handicap and she's been beaten since. SHAFAANI was a set a stiff task in a hot sprint at Newmarket last time having dotted up in a maiden at Lingfield but Clive Brittain's filly is fancied to return to winning ways in this grade and gets the nod.
