A winner at Bath, Tanqeeb could only manage third off today’s mark at Lingfield last time. He finished ahead of VOI on that occasion but the latter has since placed in a higher grade back at Lingfield and it could be her turn today. Corked and Courtside have both been thereabouts at Newcastle recently while Bayston Hill landed a course and distance double in September. Chinese Whisperer finished closer at Wolverhampton on his latest start and Blue Eagle has more scope than most.
