It was only a claimer that TOURIST won at Lingfield last time but this is no tougher and Ian Williams' charge is taken to go in again. Summer Dancer is slipping down the weights without showing any improvement for it and the same comment applies to Striker Torres and Conry. Aviso is labouring off his current mark, though Lord of The Dance has the past form to figure if rediscovering his best. Bavarian Princess is one of the least exposed in the field and may be capable of better.
