Corinthia Knight won in this grade at Lingfield at the start of the month though runner-up GRACIOUS JOHN (NAP) is fancied to reverse running on today's more favourable terms. The latter finished well ahead of Doctor Sardonicus when winning last year's renewal off a higher mark and another bold bid is expected today. Alsvinder has plenty to find with the selection on latest running while Dynamo Walt and Foxy Forever have placed in lower grade sprints recently and Double Up is having his first start since July and having undergone wind surgery subsequently.
