Verdict

The Venetia Williams yard endured something of a blip during the time of LASKALIN's poor effort in the Royal Artillery at Sandown, but the winners have been flowing again of late and the 9-y-o had shaped as though coming to hand when fourth over a trip similar to this at Lingfield previously. His proven stamina will count for plenty and the Williams yard saddled the winner of this race last year. Broken Halo is feared most given doubts surrounding First Lord De Cuet stamina-wise.

  1. LASKALIN (FR)
  2. BROKEN HALO
  3. FIRST LORD DE CUET (FR)
