Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f, 7/2) 26 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Hollie Doyle up for a trainer making a name for himself. Needs considering.

4/5
Left his previous efforts for this yard well behind when landing a gamble at Lingfield (1m) just before Christmas. Raised 4 lb but continues to look well treated on old form.

Won twice at Newcastle last winter. 6/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) on Thursday. Likely to be thereabouts if coping with the quick turnaround.

Forecasts

Cephalus (4/5), Landlordtothestars (5/1), Top Button (7/1), Island Native (9/1), Island Of Skye (9/1), Odd Socks Havana (14/1), Concert Boy (20/1), Fast Deal (200/1)

Verdict

CEPHALUS won off marks in the 70s during his time with Charlie Hills so a 4 lb rise for Lingfield doesn't look enough to stop him now he's back in form. Hollie Doyle takes over the reins on lightly-raced 6-y-o Top Button who is second choice ahead of Landlordtothestars.

  1. Cephalus4/5
  2. Top Button7/1
  3. Landlordtothestars5/1
