Andaleep was engaged in yesterday’s 2.45 at Bath. Mutarabby was no match for the in-form Diamond Bay here last month and beaten by Loving Dash over course and distance before that. Genesius could be interesting but is having a first run on Polytrack. Sky Power was only headed close home over slightly shorter here last time, however, and Saratoga Gold has won over 1m2f at Lingfield and has been in good form on Turf recently. WALLEM has only run three times on Turf since finishing third here in March in a race that’s worked out well. A winner at Wolverhampton earlier, he has plenty of scope on this surface. Lingfield winner Bascule is an improver and Night Hunter has been lightly raced and is now tried in a visor.
