Devil You Know drops in class but doesn't look overly appealing based upon his two runs so far this year. Sheer Force finished fourth and Knightfire eighth when they were last seen at Lingfield but that result could be reversed on a course where Walter Swinburn's option has a record of a second and two wins from three runs. Danzoe is 1-1 on the all-weather and is respected just 4lb higher in the ratings than that win last month. The versatile Ryedane makes a first start on the Polytrack for more than a year and he isn't penalised for winning by a neck at Redcar earlier on in the week so looks a big threat to our pick JIGAJIG. The trainer has a 20% strike rate at the course this year and the selection has a 75% record on the all-weather. After a solid runner-up performance at Newcastle he can go one better today.
