Fairy Mist won a poor seller at Lingfield last week and will find this tougher while all of the veteran Lytham's previous wins have been over longer distances including his recent victory at this track. CUTHBERT is moving in the opposite direction as he's been placed over 7f of late but this is his easiest task for some time and Mike Attwater's charge can take advantage. Compton Crofter has place claims at this level as do both Avon Supreme and Schoolboy Champ.
