A decent race in which Bazroy can see off Cornus and Halsion Chancer. Bazroy does have a double penalty to conceed but he has shaped up incredibly well around Kempton and if translating that ability to Lingfield, he should be up to seeing off this bunch of fair handicappers. Cornus reopposes again today. James Doyle has had two chances so far aboard him although winning is something he has not found easy in the past. Halsion Chancer is ultra progressive and it remains to be seen as to whether the handicapper has got a hold of him. Tender The Great looks very much in the grip of the assessor while Super Frank is always dangerous around his favourite track. Danetime Lord has ran well here in the past and is respected in the event of any market confidence. Bazroy looks to have bounced back to form and he should be too good on balance.
