In depth
Verdict
TOTAL DISTRACTION was third in one of these at Lingfield last month. He started favourite at the Surrey venue on a return visit but only managed sixth, though a drop back in trip should help. High Fort won a handicap at Newcastle in December but does seem best on Tapeta. Colour Contrast has won twice around here, however, though 7f is probably his trip while Chinese Spirit has barely raised a gallop this year.
