Glutnforpunishment is unpenalised for winning a match at Lingfield last month but will find this tougher while the unpredictable Ginge N Tonic also won at Lingfield in February but has been beaten out of sight either side of that success. Bonneville ran well over a mile here earlier in the year while Truckingby and Victoriano step up in trip along with SMARTER. The latter is fancied to improve the most for the extra distance and, likely to be sharper for a recent comeback run at Wolverhampton, William Haggas’ grey gets the vote to open his account.
