NAPPING returned a cosy winner on the Turf at Lingfield last time and that looks stronger form than the other recent winners. Both Senorita Grande and Aquarius scored over course and distance last time with the former less exposed and preferred of that pair but Global Melody’s only win so far came on the Fibresand at Southwell. Evening Attire won at Leicester during the summer and went close on his last visit here back in May while Fareeq has been competing over the minimum trip but is equally effective over this extra furlong.
