Red Stripes just came up short at Southwell last week but is 0-30 here and on a long losing run. Comeatchoo is probably best at Lingfield but there are possibilities about Ron Harris’ pair. We're Reunited won over course and distance in November before fading over 6f here 10 days ago and is preferred to Secret Potion, who is tried in blinkers today. Arzaak has placed on Tapeta but has done most of his winning on Fibresand. SUPER JULIUS has a poor draw but has placed in both starts for Chelsea Bonham and is well treated on his form on Turf so gets another chance ahead of Newcastle runner-up Jumira Bridge.
