Distant Mirage finished in front of Fizzy Feet when third at Lingfield having won at Kempton earlier. Klopp has gone close since winning over 5f at Newcastle while Second Collection beat a subsequent winner when scoring in novice company over track and trip and is another to consider along with Griggy. The returning Molaaheth makes his handicap debut and is preferred to Friendly Advice but EVANGELINE SAMOS showed a big improvement on her handicap bow when beaten a length at Newcastle and Kevin Ryan’s filly should be sharper today with that first run since September under her belt.
