Verdict
Course form is often all important at this venue and LADY LAM can confirm her liking for this track with another victory. Her win on firm ground at Lingfield in July suggests she should win off this sort of mark with this slightly softer ground no problem. Zaif is a course and distance winner and now looks back down to a workable rating so is respected as is New Code who ran well in defeat off this mark last time out. A wide open race that can go to Lady Lam.
