Verdict

Encapsulated won a lower grade contest at Lingfield last time but Money Team landed a similar race over track and trip when beating For Ayman easily enough. David Barron's charge should go close again, despite a penalty, but GENTLEMEN may just edge this dropping down a grade after scoring over 7f here last week. Pennine Warrior won a tougher sprint on the Turf last summer and is preferred to Saint Pois with the latter dropping back in distance.
