Maiden Castle won over a longer trip here recently and Baby Steps has been thereabouts over 7f. Dargel placed at Bath last time and Medieval went close over today’s trip at Lingfield. Goddess Of Fire is another to consider having finished second at Yarmouth but Chichester is fitted with headgear dropping down in trip after struggling at Chester. TURAATH started a big price at Kempton for her handicap debut but ran well for third and she looks capable of figuring again racing off the same mark.
