Verdict

KIPCHAK is best at Lingfield but has won here previously and now below his last winning mark has a chance to get back on top in a race that won't take much winning. The Happy Hammer has consistently been running up to a decent enough level of form and followed a win at Wolverhampton with a decent attempt to follow off this rating. A win for Annes Rocket in the previous race will enhance the chances of Piper's Piping, who ran better than the bare result suggested under a similar weight when last seen. Simple Rhythm will have to improve on recent efforts but is 1lb below his last winning mark while if Emiratesdotcom can bounce back from a rare poor run would have a chance.
