All of these are more or less exposed, but at least SAINT HELENA arrives in good shape having just failed to run down Marcano here last month. She timed things better when obliging over course and distance earlier this season and her course knowledge can prove crucial with none of her opponents having scored here. Expect Fran Berry to prepare her for her traditional late swoop which can prove decisive in a modest contest. The Tichborne knows how to win with half a dozen career wins to his name but all six have been delivered by the eight-year-old down the years at Lingfield. Bognor continues to descend the weights without becoming really competitive and Delaire could be more interesting if ready after a break as he's just possibly the one open to a little progress and talented apprentice George Wood is booked.
