This has the look of a Lingfield heavy ground course specialist invitational event, with a few of them proven over both C&D and on this ground and on this occasion we will take top weight SEA WALL to make it a third such success. The handicapper has given him a squeak this time and he can capitalise. Old man of the party Dormouse should again give a very good account, while Annie Alainn remains interesting if Paddy Brennan chooses to make use of her proven stamina. 1. Sea Wall 2. Annie Alainn 3.
