Mishaal carries a penalty for last week's victory in a Lingfield claimer and this looks tougher while another recent Lingfield winner, Red Invader, has never won over the trip nor on the track. Billyoakes won at Chelmsford late last month but had earlier finished behind Haraz when the latter gained his first-ever victory on his 38th start before almost following up at Wolverhampton. Run With Pride is just 3lb higher than his last course and distance victory but NEW RICH also still looks reasonably treated, despite being raised 3lb for a very good run here last month, and it's Eve Johnson Houghton's charge who looks the one to be on.
