Fizzy Feet is upped 5lb for winning at Lingfield though had earlier finished behind runner-up Prince of Rome at the same track. The latter has disappointed since but Storm Over scored over track and trip last month and is preferred to Rock On Baileys, whose earlier success at Lingfield came over 7f. MOHAREB has also been competing over 7f recently and was narrowly beaten by the progressive Reeves in a higher grade contest last time. But Mick Appleby’s charge landed a double over today’s shorter trip at the end of last year and looks capable of winning again off his current mark. Commander Han’s best recent efforts have been over the minimum trip while Gracious John’s long losing run continues having only managed third at Lingfield recently.
