NAPPER TANDY was sent off favourite at Chelmsford last time but a loose horse ruined his chances and he’s better judged on an earlier third at Lingfield when beaten less than a length. Strawberri looks no nearer winning off her current mark but Duke Of Verona just held on to win over a longer trip at Sandown last month and can figure again. Vanity Affair placed at Haydock in June and races over this far for the first time.
