WELSH SUNRISE completed a double on this track before just failing to catch Living The Life at Lingfield. She's in such good form that a return to winning ways looks likely. Shaunas Spirit was gaining her seventh victory on the surface when beating Fab Lolly here three weeks ago but has been raised 5lb to her highest ever mark. Ocean Legend is having his 99th start and has won 10 races, most of them around here including from 3lb higher in August. He looks a threat along with Polar Kite, who just failed to reel in Seek The Fair Land when conceding 8lb here last month. There are plenty of others with chances in what looks a very open handicap.
