Lingfield third Sund City, Tarakkom and Grand Facile finished in a heap last time and are hard to separate. Delagoa Bay beat a few of these when scoring over track and trip last month but is 7lb higher on her return. MULTIGIFTED was winning for only the second time in 22 starts when scoring over course and distance recently but he won with plenty in hand on his first start over 2m and further improvement is anticipated. Oyster Card finished closer over 1m6f last time and this longer trip may suit.
