Dual scorer over hurdles and bumper winner, should find this extended trip more up her alley than previous course visits but plenty to do.
Forecasts
Guard Of Honour (5/2), Winter Lion (3/1), Mandatario (10/3), Venezia (9/2), Black Label (10/1), Sharjah (12/1), Rathmuck Native (33/1)
WINTER LION got the job done over C&D in November in good style, staying the trip well. Off just a 3lbs higher mark here, he can turn tables on Venezia who was behind that evening but has since has his measure over 1m4f. Mandatario wasn't far away from them over two-miles either on his last run and commands respect now. Guard Of Honour is a notable raider crossing the Irish Sea and his Lingfield form entitles him to a chance after a poor recent show at Newcastle.
1. Winter Lion
2. Venezia
