Verdict
The dual Polytrack winner Plunder comes out best at the weights but has yet to race on this surface. ARABIAN FLIGHT looks a safer bet as she beat Elusive Warrior easily enough in a similar event here last time and had earlier got the better of Beachwood Bay over course and distance. The latter re-opposes on better terms but Mike Appleby's mare is worth sticking with in her current form. Nubar Boy has won four times at Lingfield and may well figure if taking to this slower surface and Alpha Tauri pops-up at this level on occasions.
