Linda Green is a tentative pick with Memphis Man and Valentino Swing as alternatives. The selection has few secrets as far as handicapping is concerned but she looked on the way back to something like her normal form and she will actually be racing off a 1lb lower mark tonight. Memphis Man carries top weight. Although an infrequent winner, a drop down in trip appears an interesting call from connections. Valentino Swing is a model of consistency. He wins in his turn. Shot To Fame had been running in sellers and claimers but put it altogether in handicap company at Lingfield. Marko Jadeo is something of a Lingfield specialist and he went close at Bath despite meeting trouble in running. Harrisons Flyer is capable though expensive to follow. The handicapper has had plenty of chances to look at Farthermost while Millfields Dreams and Trinculo possess plenty of speed. A difficult race to work out and Linda Green is put forward to minimum stakes.
