Plenty in with a chance here including George Baker, who was scoring for the third time this year when winning at Newmarket last month. Flameoftheforest needs only a bit more to get involved and recent Folkestone winner Kipchak has claims if in the mood. Desert Icon ended a long barren spell when landing an apprentices' race on the Lingfield turf last time and is a winner without a penalty, but Scottish Glen has proved best on Polytrack so far. GREEN EARTH is rated higher on the all-weather but seems to be catching up on the turf now judged on his latest second at Brighton and gets the nod dropping down a grade.
