    Verdict

    GREY MIRAGE has been caught close home over a mile at Lingfield on both starts this year. The drop back in distance looks a logical move on that basis and Marco Botti's charge can return to winning ways. Head Of Steam won nicely over track and trip in December but is upped in class off a 5lb higher mark for this, while Verse Of Love seems to have lost his edge since winning at Wolverhampton in January. Shamaal Nibras has decent claims with a recent comeback under his belt and Mabait is capable at this level. Glen Moss hasn't raced since July but should be stronger this year while Light From Mars and Free Spin are closely matched on earlier running over track and trip.
