Born Leader also placed at Lingfield before disappointing at Doncaster while Ideal Grace wasn’t beaten far despite only finishing fourth at Bath last time. Fanny Chenal is another who finished closer on her latest start but CHENG GONG didn’t get the clearest of runs when the subject of a gamble at Yarmouth last month and he gets another chance with normal luck in-running back over today’s longer trip.
