TULIP FIELDS initiated a double here last month. She’s been beaten the last twice off higher marks but it would be typical of a Mark Johnston handicapper to bounce back to form on this track. Dancing Approach arrives on a hat-trick but will have to defy another 8lb rise, though Thomas Greatrex’ claim should help with that. Time Voyage hasn’t been doing a lot wrong on the northern tracks but Asiaaf may be a bigger danger being less exposed, though she’ll need to settle better to last out this longer trip. Believe In Love has been competing at a lower level on the all-weather but the four-year-old Sashenka is worth a market check as she was well backed over 1m6f at Sandown a week ago.
