Lets Go Lucky had Get The Look back in third when winning a claimer over a shorter trip at Lingfield and an apprentice’s allowance gives her every chance on today’s terms. But COMPENSATE is less exposed and with a recent outing at Lingfield under his belt and Andrew Balding’s yard in good form, he gets the vote. Never Said Nothing drops back in trip and has a shout at the weights but Birkie Queen, who finished runner-up over track and trip on her penultimate start, has plenty to find along with the rest.
