7/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in October and shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 4/1) 23 days ago. Can give another good account.

Lion Ring⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 58| D

11/1

4 wins from 17 runs this year, latest at Chelmsford City in October. 6/1, failed to build on promise of last run when fifth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 9 days ago.

Form: 191055

Forecasts

Nelson Gay (3/1), Classy Clarets (11/2), Pop Dancer (6/1), Beauzon (7/1), Agostino (7/1), Recon Mission (17/2), Lion Ring (11/1), Gustav Graves (11/1), Papa Don't Preach (20/1), So Obsessed (25/1)

BEAUZON did well to come out on top having always been up with a strong pace at this course last month and remains well treated on old form following a token rise in the weights, so he's the percentage call to follow up. Recon Mission and Agostino head the dangers.
