A competitive 7f handicap as one would expect for the grade, and without doubt the clear highlight on today's six race Lingfield card. A number of horses come into the race as last time out winners, and these include Eljaddaaf, Bobby Wheeler, SWORD EXCEED and Outer Space. Bobby Wheeler scored decisively from an 8lb lower mark at Kempton (7f), comfortably accounting for today's rival Mr Bossy Boots in the process, but his previous couple of Lingfield efforts weren't the sharpest, and that's a minor worry. Outer Space has a tough task from a wide draw upped markedly in grade, whilst the even wider still drawn Dean Ivory trained runner has been dealt a duff hand. Pearl Spectre should be competitive at his best (and goes well for female handling), whilst Silent Echo is an interesting but costly (120,000 gns) new recruit for Peter Hedger. However, solely on the strength of his excellent career record at Lingfield Park, we'll take the chance that Sword Exceed can score once more despite racing from a career high mark.
