        Verdict

        It pays to take note when Tartatartufata runs into form and we will side with him to follow up his recent c&d success, with Financial Times the danger and First Order respected. Tartatatufata has previously enjoyed back-to-back success on a couple of occasions and with a 4lb rise for getting his nose in front last time he may just about be able to repeat the dose from a mark he has only managed to master once before. Financial Times has a 0 from 6 record at this track and seems to reserve his best for Lingfield. Despite his yard's good form a 5lb rise for his success at the Surrey track last month looks like finding him out. First Order races from the same mark as when third to Blazing Heights at Musselburgh last month and has has gone well off higher ratings in 2007, so he is not dismissed lightly. The same comments apply to Harry Up, who is on a fair mark and can get very competitive, but preference is for Tartatartufata.
