Verdict
KARAKULA DANCER impressed when winning comfortably at Lingfield, showing good acceleration and appears capable of significant improvement off this basement mark. He can defy a penalty, while Reason's Power has been consistent on all-weather tracks, responding well to cheekpieces when placing at Chelmsford City recently. Chilliconcarneigh placed for the third consecutive race at Lingfield on Wednesday, while Irish raider Grey Sands is another to note.
