Deacs Delight finally opened his account when landing one of these events on the Turf course at Lingfield but steps up in trip. Chepstow winner Fact Or Fable is preferred as he’s won over today’s distance in the past while Shabs finished runner-up in classified company on the Polytrack last time. But MILLICENT went close in a handicap at Chepstow recently and looks to face an easier task today dropping down to this level.
