TIGERFISH is the only recent winner having ended a long losing run with a victory over today’s trip at Lingfield. He should go close again off a 3lb higher mark and confirm running with third-placed Banta Bay.

Far Cry and Rocket Ronnie were both placed over 1m2f at Chelmsford on their respective latest starts with the former preferred.
