More ultra-competitive maiden fare from Lingfield with the market likely to separate the wheat from the chaff. Of those to have faced the starter, Machinist makes plenty of appeak. He looked to find six furlongs on the sharp side last time out and despite a poor draw, he should go well for Kieren Fallon. Oeuf A La Neige steps back up to seven today. He disappointed at Windsor last time out when flattening out but he could be in the shake-up if taking to the surface. Floreeda is an intresting debutante from the Henry Cecil yard. She is bred to get much further than this 7f but the Cecil team are sending out a healthy strike rate of winners to runners at the moment. He should have an idea of how good Chetak is as Barry Hills' representative was behind Apex Star a couple of weeks ago. The TEAMtalk selection is My Giddy Aunt. John Gosden's team is in rude health at the moment and he currently has a 29% strike rate with his two-year-olds. This well-bred half sister to High Estate and King's Theatre should have too much class for this bunch.
