Verdict
LYTHAM ST ANNES (NAP) is just preferred to Wimpole Hall have already proved himself over this trip when beaten less than a length in a better race at York. The latter is a danger, however, having already been placed twice in decent company over 6f and he should finish ahead of Doncaster fifth Take Charge and Lingfield third Regality. King Of Cornwall showed little on debut while newcomers False Id and Ilzam may be best watched on this occasion.
