Danettie is in great form at present and is taken to land the hat-trick, Star Fern and Sea Heir look to be the obvious dangers. Mark Brisbourne's four-year-old has landed back to back Lingfield contests in very game fashion and although penalised for those victories he should still be capable of another success in this grade. Star Fern also hit winning form last time, comfortably getting the better of Bond Millennium here over a slightly longer trip. That win wasn't coming out of turn and another big run can be expected. Sea Heir hails from a top yard and ran well last time. He is lightly raced and can be expected to improve. Of the others Desert Lover has to considered for each-way purposes, but for the winner we will take the hat-trick seeking Danettie.
