14:05 (Lingfield) Born Ruler

Born Ruler looked well-handicapped winning at Sandown last season while there were excuses for his subsequent defeat under a penalty just a handful of days later.

A Frederick Daly claim catches the eye and this gelded son of Kingman can kick off his four-year-old campaign by getting the better of recent course and distance runner-up Enough Already.

It's tough to discount On The Right Track making reappearance based on the form he showed when third over 1m6f at Wolverhampton in October.

Myriad would be worth noting if attracting market support on his belated return.

 

15:05 (Lingfield) Wedgewood

This may prove a good opportunity for Wedgewood. Trained by Tony Carroll and followed up a good second tackling track and trip by filling the same spot at Wolverhampton last month.

Can deservedly return to winning ways here in Tips For Every Race At Raceday-Ready.Com Handicap.

The lightly-raced Zing Up shaped well when fifth attempting 5f at Wolverhampton during October. May go well with visor worn that day replaced by cheekpieces.

Autumn Flight could feature if returning to form shown when fourth over course and distance two starts ago.

Pablo Del Pueblo would be dangerous if allowed an easy lead.

 

15:35 (Lingfield) Rosa Applause

In the Free Digital Racecard At raceday-ready.com Fillies’ Novice Stakes it is Simon and Ed Crisford’s Rosa Applause who can come out on top.

The Blue Point bay was third on debut when beaten only a length, the form from which has been working out neatly as there were three subsequent winners in the race.

After that run Rosa Applause was sent to Wolverhampton to win a novice by four lengths, form that puts her firmly in the frame for this.

 

17:15 (Lingfield) Gilbert

Gilbert hinted there might be a return to winning ways when third at Brighton recently.

The Cityscape gelding previously won over course and distance and is just preferred to the top-weight Come On John who was a close-up fourth at Chelmsford (1m2f) off this mark last month.

Recent Brighton winner Chourmo cannot be ignored following that confidence-boosting success and the in-form Sunset In Paris might be in the mix.
