Unit of Assessment hasn't been beaten far in his last two runs at Lingfield and, though he has never run on Tapeta, he's on the same mark as his latest start. KING OSWALD won here in 2016 and was in good form on Turf last summer. He returned here with a very good run last month where he would have finished closer but for being impeded at a crucial stage and can go one better. Berlusca makes a quick reappearance after a narrow defeat here last week. Already a seven-times all-weather winner he has to be on the short-list on that run. Broughtons Story won twice on Turf in the autumn and was having his first start for new connections here just before Christmas while Shamian was having his first start since May when catching the eye with an unlucky run here last month and it wouldn't take much more to go one better.
