Tony Carroll has won three of the last four and will be hoping Easydoesit can keep up the sequence. The eight-year-old landed a seller over two miles at Lingfield under Georgia Cox but he'll have no problems dropping back in trip though a 4lb rise won't help. Ross Turner was on board when NEXT EDITION was beaten a head in a slightly better race over the track and trip in December and his mount can go one better and gain his first all-weather victory. Astra Hall is also a maiden on artificial surfaces but has dropped so far in the ratings that she should be finding a race soon. Medieval Bishop rarely wins but found two miles stretching his stamina at Lingfield having won over this trip there last month.
