THE VOCALIST appears to have a straightforward task in bidding to follow up her Huntingdon success where the field were strung out behind her. The seventh home won at Lingfield on Tuesday and she should prove too good for these barring mishaps. Spice Girl is a C&D winner here, but the form has been devalued since. Love Lane is an interesting newcomer for a good small yard and Petronella Manners hails from a stable who are enjoying a good run.
