Verdict
The recent Lingfield winners Combustion and Invincible Speed both have to be noted, but their new marks demand more from them. With that in mind, preference is for TYGER BAY, who is a five-time C&D winner and he was only beaten a neck into second when last seen at Chelmsford in December. Em Four is another who arrives with valid claims.
Expert View Verdict
COMBUSTION has won six of his last eight starts and is particularly well suited by this 6f trip, being asked a fair question from off the pace at Lingfield last time and coming through with flying colours. A 7lb rise asks more but he's capable of better still. Em Four is consistent and finished runner-up for this rider over C&D three starts back. He looks the danger to the selection although Invincible Speed is in form himself and comes here off a win at Lingfield last time. He may still have a bigger effort in him.
