Verdict

Sands Chorus was less than a length in front of Ice Royal when scoring at Wolverhampton last time while Franco's Secret came good again at Lingfield recently. Blue Revelation won a maiden at the latter track on his return from a lengthy absence and has more scope than Honiara, a recent good third over 7f, but a chance is taken on LACAN (NAP) in this. Ralph Beckett’s charge drops down in class, has won off higher marks before and will be sharper for a recent return to action having missed most of last year.
