Paul D'Arcy puts up a 7lb claimer on board Lingfield scorer FAIRYINTHEWIND and that negates her penalty. She's a filly in form and worth following here despite most of her rivals also arriving in decent nick. Last week's course winner The Mongoose is marginally preferred to stablemate Honey Of A Kitten but more of a danger may be Knowe Heade, second in an amateurs' contest over C&D earlier in the week. Strike Force should also be thereabouts again but Reflect and Elizabeth Coffee may be worth opposing off their current marks.
