Dandy Flame drops down a grade after a third at Lingfield but is upped in distance. He should figure if lasting home and the same comment applies to handicap debutant Rapid Rise, placed in all four starts over shorter trips. But PARTY TIGER was fourth to Emenem over 7f at Kempton last month and given the latter has since gone in again, that may be strong enough form to land this for Richard Fahey. Princess Way is looking exposed and Newmarket maiden winner Monoshka is preferred on his return from a lay-off.
