Whitby Jet can do better back on this surface after a no show in heavy ground at Newbury while Trip Switch is worth noting on his return to 1m2f and first start for John Butler. HYDRANT could only finish fifth at Lingfield last time but was beaten less than length in a blanket finish and he gets the nod to come out best with a similar effort. Royal Etiquette and Having A Ball both won over C&D before running below par last time while the lightly-raced Sporting Gold is worth a second glance on his first start since May.
