Yet another tricky puzzle to solve. Veteran Run To Milan placed here in January and his yard is in form but this could be the day for YOUNG BULL, who has few miles on the clock and looks very well treated after an encouraging pipe-opener behind Easy As That, who runs in the previous race, at Haydock. Silver Hallmark is dropped in class and Movethechains, who rattled up a five-timer last season, looked to be coming to hand again at Lingfield. The mare Flowing Cadenza also stays well and arrives on a hat-trick and Make Me A Believer has been lightly raced. Morning Spirit’s latest run at Carlisle was too bad to be true as he’d won at that track in the autumn when Upton Road was pulled up. Mucho Mas is still progressing but Feivel has more to do than when getting off the mark at Wetherby.
