Brockey Rise landed a double at Lingfield in January and the likes of Fantasy Justifier, Dream Ally and Admiral Rooke all have bits of form at this low level. Soldier Blue gets a change of headgear as he slips further down the weights and Swendab posted a better effort at Chelmsford last week. Wild Flower made a quick start from a high draw here last time and wasn’t beaten far in third but CARPET TIME is just preferred. The latter coped less well from a wide draw here on his latest outing but was beaten less than a length when runner-up over track and trip before that and gets a speculative vote.
