Tag Team can prove to be the answer to this claimer, with Madrasee, Harrison's Flyer and Party Princess the main dangers. The final three races on the Lingfield card are on the Polytrack rather than the Turf course, and that should suit Tag Team who has been most consistent at this level. The Four-year-old advertised his claims with an all-the-way success under Jamie Spencer here in February when trained by David Flood, and has recently joined John Harris. A promising third in a slightly better affair than this at Doncaster last time showed that his turn is near again and he should reward new connections sooner rather than later. Madrasee looks a big danger though, having been collared close home over five furlongs last time. The step up in trip and drop in grade should see her make a bold effort to register another course and distance victory. She can meet Harrison's Flyer on nine-pound better terms for a beating of just over two lengths at Brighton last year, and should turn the tables on him at least. Party Princess has winning form over the track and trip as well, but is starting to look as though she needs another try over further, and we much prefer the claims of Tag Team.
