Kindlelight Storm has shown nothing on two career starts on Turf and is best watched until doing so whereas BERTIE MOON has really taken to this Thameside venue, scoring nicely on his penultimate outing before succumbing by the minimum margin on a return visit a week later. He should be able to handle a 4lb rise and defy topweight in what rates a no more difficult contest. St Paul De Vence has performed with credit on all starts this term but keeps running into one or two too good and his second to Lawyer here over a mile was let down by the latter's modest Newmarket effort over the weekend. Starlit Cantata should give a good account off an unchanged mark, especially as her latest effort can be forgiven as, like many before her, she was forced very wide coming into the Lingfield straight and had no chance of recovery thereafter.
