Rowlestonerendezvu has been in decent form over longer trips and won over 1m2f at Kempton earlier. Dose found one too good here last time but still finished in front of Beatbybeatbybeat while Naralsaif only landed a lowly Class 7 contest at Chelmsford a fortnight ago. Both Our Greta and La Isla Bonita won over 7f last year and return from lay-offs but REBEL SKY should be sharper for a comeback run at Lingfield having missed the whole of last year and John Jenkins’ mare gets a speculative vote with plenty of scope to improve.
