NEW LEYF landed a double over 6f here in February but left it too late before finding top gear back over 7f last time and could only manage fourth. Jeremy Gask's charge gets another chance in this as he should confirm recent running with Shingle. Rakaan is harder to fancy having won a plating race over 1m2f last time and Little Big Man also won a claimer at Lingfield in April last year. Polar Kite has a chance off his current rating and Ocean Legend can effectively race off a lower mark then when winning over track and trip in January with an apprentice's claim taken into account.
