Third at this C&D 62 days ago before winning 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford (10/3) 39 days ago under this rider, showing his best form of the season. Not taken lightly up 3 lb.

11/2
Won at Salisbury (11/4) in August following a return to form. Sixth of 11 in Bath handicap (5/1) 27 days ago, not fully convincing with stamina over 8f. Drop back in trip on AW should suit.

17/2
In good form with wins in two of last three starts. Won at Brighton (9/2) 11 days ago when making all in 14-runner handicap. May find Lingfield less suitable than Brighton.

Four-time winner including a C&D success. First of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (11/4) 16 days ago, staying on well after being forced wide. Respected going for the hat-trick.

Good second over C&D 34 days ago. Won decisively in a 13-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (8/1) 11 days ago, making smooth headway before quickening clear. 7 lb rise seems fair and could follow up.

11/1
Modest handicapper who has been performing at this level. Fifth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (4/1) 28 days ago when running on late after being forced to switch. Without a win in 17 races.

Forecasts

Daisy Roots (10/3), H Key Lails (7/2), Spirit Of Breeze (11/2), Ernie's Valentine (13/2), Edergole's Gift (13/2), River Wharfe (15/2), King Of War (17/2), Kondratiev Wave (11/1)

Verdict

EDERGOLE'S GIFT looked much improved when scoring decisively at Chelmsford 11 days ago. Having also finished second over C&D 34 days ago, she's strongly fancied to follow up in this grade. Spirit of Breeze should appreciate the drop back in trip, while River Wharfe is going for the hat-trick.
