        Verdict

        Holkham Bay won on the Polytrack at Lingfield just over a year ago and is penalised on his reappearance. SWISS STAR has the more recent form with a second on the Turf course at the same track and Roger Varian’s filly can go one better. Dalton Lane disappointed at Redcar last time and Molaqab is preferred dropping down in trip along with Viscountess Renard. Mezon and Havana Pursuit are newcomers to note.
