Form & Verdict
Four Lingfield AW wins (three at 7f) since joining Jim Boyle in the autumn, including under today's rider Billy Loughnane; too keen when last of seven over 8.6f at Wolverhampton 12 days ago but ought to be happier back at Lingfield and over shorter.

All five wins have been on AW at Lingfield and she's finished third there (7f/1m) twice last month; 0-15 on turf and she beat only one rival home at Sandown (1m, good) two weeks ago.

All five wins have been on AW at Lingfield and she's finished third there (7f/1m) in her last two runs; 0-14 on turf but she had some placed form at Windsor last summer and seems versatile ground-wise in this sphere; not ruled out

All five wins have been at this track, with one coming over C&D, the most recent coming off 1lb higher in February; can miss the break, just as she she did when keeping on into third here over 7f last time, but drops in grade and makes the shortlist.

Two classified wins last month (including C&D) and made it three in a row back in handicap company at Wolverhampton (7f) three weeks ago; this is a slightly stronger affair but he can't be ruled out in his current mood.

Shaped with more promise than his finishing position suggests on his handicap debut at Kempton (7f) in December; failed to build on it twice subsequently; returns from 191 days off but the drop in trip and change of headgear could give him a lift; worth a market check.
