Danecase won at Lingfield last time and is raised only 2lb but is upped in class. Born To Finish is another facing a more difficult task after going close at Chelmsford but NINJAGO was placed in better company at Nottingham recently. The latter won at Newmarket earlier and Paul Midgley’s sprinter should make another bold bid in this. Rose Berry is back on a winning mark while Field of Vision and Hackney Road are others worthy of a second glance.
