Verdict

LINCOLN PARK is back on a winning mark and recent placed efforts including a nose defeat at Haydock suggest his turn is not far away. He can confirm recent running with Glory Fighter and Zamjar and come out best. Centurion Song won at Bath earlier in the week and carries 5lb extra while Soul Seeker went close when sent off favourite at Ayr. Afandem may do better back on today’s soft ground and is preferred to Canford Bay.
