Last Minute Lisa is proving very consistent and has to go on the short-list again. Tilstarr isn't out of this, despite top weight, but Foxhaven, Brave Decision and Comedy House are all returning from a break. HALLINGHAM was only fourth to April Ciel at Chepstow in July and is worse off at the weights now. But Ron Harris' charge has finished tailed off in both subsequent starts so we'll take Jonny Portman's four-year-old to have his revenge with Cam Hardie's claim a major plus for the unlucky Lingfield runner-up.
