Turjuman won over a shorter trip here on Monday but faces tougher opponents in this and is carrying a penalty. Sommersturm never looked like following up his earlier Lingfield win at Kempton on Wednesday and a 7lb claimer takes over the reins today but Daring Damsel ran well over track and trip a week ago when finishing a place behind the runner-up PARTY PALACE. The latter was only headed in the closing stages by Jezza on that occasion and is fancied to go one better in this.
