Smokey Malone has been raised 4lb for winning at Chelmsford while Kingson only narrowly beat International Law under today’s jockey at Newcastle last month and has been beaten since. The Game Is On had been threatening in amateur races before struggling here last time but CLASSY DAME has been in the mix in tougher races than this at Lingfield having completed a double at this time last year. The latter debuts for Archie Watson’s in-form yard and can return to winning ways.
