Verdict
DISHY GURU came good again back on the Turf at Leicester last time. He won by a couple of lengths and may well repeat September's course and distance victory. He'll need to reverse earlier running at Lingfield with Go Nani Go, who also beat Sandfrankskipsgo on that occasion, while Langley Vale finished ahead of Angelito and Pandar when second here last month but was due to run at Lingfield last night. Ginzan bids for a hat-trick after an easy win at Brighton but has a 9lb hike in the weights to contend with here.
