English Summer returned an easy winner at Wolverhampton last time and that form gives him the beating of previous Lingfield winner Tingo In The Tale. The former should be thereabouts again under a penalty but PURPLE 'N GOLD is preferred. David Pipe's charge has won two of his last three starts at this track and is worth another try over today's longer trip. Pahente scored by seven lengths here a fortnight ago but steps up a grade off a 10lb higher mark today.
