BERNIE'S BOY was headed in the closing stages over 7f at Lingfield last time and is worth a try over this extra distance. Rated 81, he should go close in this company.

Shining Romeo has been placed in a bumper and debuts in this code while the newcomer Tudor Icon is a half-brother to a winner on the all-weather.
