Forest Gate - 15:33 Leicester
Smart Stat: £13.74 - Eve Johnson Houghton's profit to a £1 level stake with debutants
Eve Johnson Houghton posts a level-stake profit with debutants which shows her runners are usually fit enough and clued-up enough to do themselves justice at the first attempt. At Leicester this afternoon she introduces Forest Gate who is a half-brother to the smart Jimi Hendrix and out of listed winner Planchart.
Mostly Sunny - 16:50 Southwell
Smart Stat: 25% - Harry Skelton's strike rate at Southwell
Harry Skelton boasts an impressive 25% strike rate at Southwell - an improvement on his overall record around 22% - and he will be hoping to enhance it this afternoon as he has two strong chances, including the unexposed Mostly Sunny who is making his handicap debut. Mostly Sunny has failed to jump with fluency but he looked to be getting the hang of things late on when scoring at Huntingdon a couple of weeks ago and his opening mark could prove generous.
Warhol - 18:15 Lingfield
Smart Stat: 21% - Oisin Murphy's strike rate at Lingfield
Oisin Murphy tends to operate at a strike rate around the 19% mark but that increases to Lingfield where he has a full book of rides this evening starting with Warhol in the mile-and-a-half handicap. Warhol was down the field at Newmarket when last seen in November but that effort is best excused as he failed to handle the dip. He starts out on a fair mark and the booking of Murphy is a positive.
