J: James Best

T: Thomas Faulkner

Won low-grade 2m AW handicap on latest outing in October but hasn't run over hurdles since 33l defeat on handicap debut at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft) in February last year, and his profile is somewhat unconvincing.

3 yo Gelding

OR: 51

Form & Verdict
Both of his wins have came over 1m4f at Lingfield; back to form when gaining the second of those wins there nine days ago, for which he now carries a 6lb penalty (2lb wrong); his brother stays this trip, so the extra distance looks worth exploring.

J: Rowan Scott

T: Charlie Clover

Solid debut for his new yard, having been picked up from Simon Dow for 11,000gns, a fortnight ago and duly won a small-field affair easily last weekend; not had much racing on turf and a 6lb rise could well be manageable in current form.

Three-time AW winner here for Simon Dow last year who made a solid start for his new yard back on turf, having been picked up for 11,000gns, at Ripon nine days ago; just cracked late there on his first run in three months and has a good chance today.

Three Lingfield AW wins (1m4f-1m5f) for Simon Dow; changed hands in April for 11,000gns and only time will tell how he fares for his new handler; relatively unexposed on turf (0-3) but may strip fitter for this off an 83-day break.

0-6 but she was beaten only 2l when fourth of nine at Kempton (2m, AW; winner and runner-up have won since); dropped away at Wolverhampton (2m, AW; first-time cheekpieces) five days ago having sat closer to the pace than ideal; headgear quickly discarded; may bounce back.

Failed to cut much ice in AW middle-distance maiden/novice contests in the spring and well held on heavy-gound Windsor handicap debut (11.5f)) on return from a break 17 days ago; another who takes a big step up in trip.

Form & Verdict
0-9; beaten 5l when second of seven at Lingfield (2m, AW) seven weeks ago on latest start, in a race won by one who has run well in higher grades in two starts since; that was this 4yo's first go over this far and she may have more to offer over the trip.

1-13 when trained by Pat Phelan, the win gained off basement mark at Lingfield (2m, AW) in November; makes stable debut after 142-day absence; worth a glance in the betting but others have more obvious claims.
