SUDDEN WISH is the only winner in the field and gets the vote on that basis. He won over today's trip at Lingfield in January with a couple of subsequent winners behind and has scope for further progress. Songbird Blues has a bit to find with the selection on Lingfield running, as do Emma Jean, Martha's Way and Trending on collateral form. Spoken Words could figure on her return, but the lightly-raced Diva Donkey could prove a bigger threat on her handicap debut having finished third behind the progressive Colour Guard at Southwell last time.
