Makethedifference probably exceeded expectations when third in a Listed handicap at Newbury last time but can race off the same mark here and Alan Johns claims 3lb. Limited Reserve came good at Sandown 10 days ago but has another 8lb to carry. Bennys King was knocking on the door in novice company in the spring and should be winning soon while Bingo D'olivate, a winner at Newbury in March, wasn’t disgraced on his reappearance at Lingfield. OSCARTEEA doesn’t have many miles on the clock for his age and has always been quite highly regarded. He has his first run since February and drops back in distance but is a course and distance winner and has his ground – he may have the class to defy top weight.
