Giovanni Di Bicci faces a much tougher task under a penalty having won over track and trip last week while Ziggys Star failed to land a hat-trick when beaten at Southwell last time off today's mark. Chelwood Gate went close at Lingfield recently and can figure again but MALAYSIAN BOLEH posted his best effort since winning at Chelmsford last year when beaten less than a length at Lingfield just five days ago. Now back on a winning mark, he looks up to landing this.
