Verdict
The progressive Born To Finish won a lower grade sprint at Lingfield in February but was beaten at this level last time while Diamond Lady is also upped in class after scoring at the same track on her reappearance. Tanasoq should be winning a handicap this year but Doncaster maiden winner TIME TO EXCEED is preferred. The latter was only fourth at Salisbury in September on her handicap debut but that was in Class 2 company she should find this easier with Ryan Moore picking-up the reins.
