Tafilah has obvious form claims here and gets the vote ahead of Parazone and Left Nostril. The selection is making her Lingfield all-weather debut but has performed well in her last three races at Wolverhampton. She was only beaten a length behind Ruffie last time over the nine furlong trip after travelling well throughout. This drop in distance should be ideal and she looks the one to beat. Parazone has only made two racecourse visits, both at Southwell. He showed enough on his last outing to suggest he could be capable of landing a small race in the not too distant future, a place could be on the cards today. Left Nostril is not the most consistent of performers but does have claims on the pick of her form. The best of the rest could be the once raced Assumption, but the solid form choice is Tafilah.
