Verdict

Trepidation won over a mile at Kempton last time and Cashel finished in front of previous winner Irish Times when scoring over track and trip. Viola Park failed in a bid for a hat-trick when well beaten at Wolverhampton while My Footsteps’ best form so far has been in classified races and David Probert deserts the latter to ride stablemate KYLLINGA. The latter will need to step up on her latest effort at Lingfield but this is less competitive and it could be her turn today.
