Formscan - It was only a three-runner contest that SUNLIT SEA won at Lingfield, but you can only beat what is put in front of you and Sir Mark Prescott's filly did that very well. She appreciated the drop back to the minimum trip that day and a 6lb penalty is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. The daughter of Mehmas gets a confident vote ahead of So Grateful and Dabbling.
