Cashel Mead, Enjoy The Buzz and Zazous are the three against the field in this competitive contest, and Enjoy The Buzz is nominated to stop Cashel Mead's winning run. Wins at Bath and Nottingham have underlined Cashel Mead's winning form and only the brave will take him to be beaten here. He handles give in the ground and looks sure to go well, but a seven pound penalty gives the others a chance. Zazous has won three times at Lingfield, two of those wins this year, and he comes here in good heart. By Zafonic though he may found the ground a little on the soft side, despite being well treated at the weights. Enjoy The Buzz came to hand at this time last year with two successive wins and there was a lot to like about the way he stayed on to be second at Nottingham last time. He has run well when there has been give in the ground and is only two pounds higher here. Enjoy The Buzz can lead them home.
