Ocean Of Love was still well beaten when second over 1m6f here last month and the same comment applies to Ebqaa, a runner-up over 1m2f at Newcastle. But SOGHAN finished only a length behind the winner when third over today’s distance at Lingfield recently and Richard Hughes’ charge gets the nod on that form. Sonnetist could figure back in maiden company today and Sula Island had gone close in a maiden on the Turf at Lingfield before struggling in a handicap last time.
