Rollin 'n Tumblin's first win since 2008 didn't come as a surprise to some as he was well backed when scoring over 2m at Lingfield. He remains well handicapped on his best form but so is FIRE IN BABYLON. The latter has slipped back to a winning mark and it showed over track and trip last month when he posted a much better effort to take third place. He gets the nod though Gower Rules is another course winner on the slide and finished a bit closer here last time while Brandy Snapping and Petersboden can both be given a chance at this lowly level.
