        Verdict

        Ryan Moore takes over the reins on recent Lingfield winner Cosmopolitan Queen but she’s 7lb higher today while Warsaan has been raised only 4lb after scoring at Newmarket and makes more appeal. Character Witness drops down in class after finishing second at Kempton and Deadly Accurate found one too good on the all-weather at Lingfield with Port Of Call back in fourth. BRIGAND ran below par when last in action in December but won at Chelmsford before that when beating a subsequent dual winner. The Haggas charge may prove good enough on that form despite the lay-off.
