Elegant Love won at Lingfield last month and should go well again but it could be the turn of the less exposed CITY ESCAPE. The latter has been thereabouts at Lingfield recently and looking to face a slightly easier task than when runner-up last time, she may come good in this. One To Go could figure back at this lower level while Clay Regazzoni placed over a shorter trip at Newcastle but has a poor strike rate as does G For Gabrial.
