A very competitive affair in which narrow preference is for MICHAELA'S BOY who is right back on song and was capable of even better form in his younger days. Recent Lingfield winner Atomic Force should go close again if able to navigate a potentially tricky draw, while Twilight Fun is another for the shortlist.
