Verdict

POP THE CHAMPAGNE came from further back than ideal to make a winning start at Lingfield and, having been far from discredited at Newbury since, she's fancied to double her tally back against weaker opposition. The Stuart Crawford-trained pair of Roxanya and Gazwah look the chief threats.

  1. POP THE CHAMPAGNE (FR)
  2. GAZWAH (FR)
  3. ROXANYA (IRE)
