Free Option, Hadath and Komena look the three to check out here, with the former just being preferred. Gary Moore has his string in fine fettle and Free Option comes here after out-pointing Warlingham over course and distance last week, on similar terms today, the selection should once again come out on top. Hadath is a frustrating character and appears well held by Free Option, but if on a going day should be in the shake up. For the main danger we turn to Komena who rarely runs a bad race and comes here after finishing a close up fourth in a fillies handicap at Wolverhampton. Pip Paynes's charge also has some decent form here at Lingfield and looks set for at least some of the place money. In a very open affair course and distance winner Dancing Forest is also worthy of a mention but Free Option appears to have more scope than most of these and gets a tentative vote.
