David Nicholls has only one runner at Lingfield so DI STEFANO will bid to recover the diesel costs in this trappy affair. He is unquestionably well handicapped on some of his earlier form and it is now a question of whether he can translate his turf experience on to polytrack. Kummel Excess was in rude health at the beginning of the season and a recent effort at Nottingham suggested that there could be a bit more to come. Brandywell Boy and Freddie's Girl need little introduction to regulars at Lingfield whilst Ralph Beckett's season appears to finishing with a flourish so it would be no surprise to see a big run from Danny's Choice from a favoured low draw. Ajjaadd attempts to follow up a recent victory around the cambers of Brighton.
