Three of these look to have leading claims. Next Cry is the most exposed of the trio but scored over today's trip at Lingfield before running into a place over a longer distance at the same track last time. Ed De Gas also won at Lingfield on his debut last month and there should be more to come from him but KOKO LOCA is given another chance. She found only the progressive Emmuska too good on her handicap bow over a mile in November when giving the impression today's longer trip would suit so gets the nod. Bounty Seeker has won over 7f here and makes most appeal of the remainder on his reappearance.
