It's difficult to see past LONGROOM, who comes here without a penalty for his comfortable victory in an apprentices' race at Musselburgh on Thursday and Graham Lee takes over the reins. Teepee Time landed a minor handicap at Wolverhampton in February but has never won on Turf, though she did produce a good run on fast going at Catterick last month. Grecian King found 7f much too far on that same track though his best run has been on Polytrack while the mare Cheeni has one place to her credit in a dozen runs on Turf.
