Lingfield winner Arcadian Nights failed to cope with a 5lb rise when behind English Spirit over track and trip last time. The latter is 3lb higher having also beaten Mafia Power on that occasion while Snooze Lane has been raised the same amount having landed a couple of lower grade races here. SEVEN POCKETS recorded a double on the all-weather early last year and having subsequently slid down the weights, he gets the vote with a recent comeback third under his belt.
