Dream Magic landed the odds in a seller at Lingfield recently but this is tougher and GHOST SERGE makes more appeal. David Pipe’s charge won a handicap over track and trip last week and gets the vote again at this lower level. First Flight won a couple of plating races on the Turf last year and has every chance on these terms on only his second outing for new connections while Adams Park can do better back over today’s shorter trip and makes most appeal of the remainder.
