A first-time visor had the desired effect when TEN CHANTS (NAP) scored easily over track and trip last week. Due to be raised a further 5lb after this, he can defy a penalty and confirm latest running with Steal The Scene. Emerald Fox has won two of her last three starts at Lingfield under today’s apprentice while Carey Street is usually thereabouts without winning and finished ahead of Al Ozzdi when going close here last month. Bankawi returned from a short lay-off with a better effort here and is preferred to Bell Heather and Herons Nest.
