Final flat listed race of 2025, with just five declared for 10f contest on polytrack at Lingfield .

2023 winner TYRRHENIAN SEA  can outclass this field, after making promising return after 6 month break at Kempton earlier this month , has excellent record here at Lingfield (22121) , including finishing good second in this race last year behind the useful 120 rated Royal Champion.Also won the Tandridge listed stakes in February over C&D at Lingfield Should be difficult to beat in this weak looking listed contest .Guide price Evens or bigger is acceptable .

MILITARY ACADEMY  has claims on first start for Jane Chapple-Hyam.The former John/Thady Gosden trained gelding changed hands for 50,000 Guineas at recent horses in training sale.Had some fair form earlier in season , including finishing second in G3 Winter Derby at Southwell on All Weather , though has been very disappointing on turf on his last two starts .Will need to bounce back to his best returning to All Weather .

Of the others TORITO looks the most interesting on the pick of his turf form , including coming third in listed company at Newmarket in November behind Liberty Lane , however was well held behind Holloway Boy on his first start on All Weather at Kempton last time .Looks open to improvement on All Weather , though has quite bit to find with Tyrrhenian Sea on Kempton form .

VERDICT : (1) TYRRHENIAN SEA (2) MILITARY ACADEMY (3) TORITO
