This looks made for Rollin N' Tumblin to complete a hat-trick from Alnwick and Lorikeet. The selection has taken back-to-back staying contests at Lingfield, which he did some style over this trip last time out. Tolley Dean eased him considerably for a one length victory margin over Alnwick that day and he could have done it by a fair bit futher. The pair meet again on the same terms here and it can be Kirsty Milczarek who steers home the selection here. Lorikeet has run a couple of decent races in defeat lately and stays this trip well. Gary Moore's runners continue in good form so he is respected. High Point has ability but looks in the grip of the handicapper at present, but the same cannot be said of Rollin N' Tumblin, who is the confident choice.
