Verdict
Nosey Barker won a maiden race over 1m2f at Lingfield recently but acts on the Fibresand while Deep Resolve looked to have an easier chance over track and trip on Tuesday but disappointed. Moonlight Venture landed a couple plating races last month beating Monsieur Jimmy in the process but Limerick Lord returned a losing favourite last time having won here earlier. General Tufto has plummeted down the weights since winning last year's renewal but the unexposed ST PATRICK'S DAY (NAP) makes most appeal. He scored over course and distance a week ago and can defy a penalty with further progress likely.
