Irish raider Your Pal Tal made a successful trip over to Lingfield back in February while Cheeni finished in front of stablemate Goninodaethat when second here last time and is back on a winning mark.

But VALLARTA was winning off a 14lb higher mark last summer and given Ruth Carr bids to win this contest for the fourth time in succession, it could be his turn again today.
