J: Grace McEntee

Couldn't begrudge him last week's 5f win here as he'd been banging at the door since September; 4lb penalty to contend with, as well as a double-figure stall, and could come up short.

Form & Verdict
Ten-race maiden but he's well treated on his best form and has run respectably here (5f/6f) in last two starts; usually comes from off the pace and could be dangerous if he gets some luck on this drop back in trip.

0-11 but he's edged down the weights and was well backed when second over 5f here last week (behind Alafdhal); runs off the same mark here and he's one to consider.

Successful four times (AW/turf) in the first half of last year but she's been out of sorts this winter and was beaten 18l at Southwell (missed the break) last Wednesday; has plenty to prove and she needs a major revival.

Form & Verdict
9yo who recorded her tenth win when coming from off the pace to land a C&D handicap (first-time blinkers) last month; only 1lb higher than for that success but she was held in fourth here on Saturday and was behind Hastily in that race.

J: Luke Morris

T: Tony Carroll

One of three runners for in-form Tony Carroll but is possibly the weakest link, having gained all AW wins at Wolverhampton; hasn't raced at Lingfield since 2020.

Form: 841-01 D

4 yo Colt

OR: 56

Form & Verdict
Has a patchy profile but he's won at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) in two of his last three runs, including in an apprentice handicap last Wednesday; that was by a short head but he held off a clear second and escapes a penalty for that win; big player again in his bid to make it 3-4 under Alex Jary.

Won three times in the first half of last year including twice on Tapeta at Southwell; now only 1lb higher than for his last success and he had some traffic issues over C&D on his recent return to action; should benefit from that run and he's in the mix.

Form & Verdict
All four wins have been over C&D and she turned things around with a close second back at this track (66-1) last Monday; on same mark as for that front-running effort and she's a big player if she can repeat the form.

Form & Verdict
Ended a lengthy losing run when scoring over 7f at Dundalk (cheekpieces added) last month and she coped well with the drop back to 5f when runner-up over C&D on Saturday; this is a quick turnaround but she should be in the mix again.
