Lingfield Park 14:22 Odds Comparison

Won 11-runner handicap (13/2) at Bath (17.1f, heavy) on first run following a wind op 158 days ago. Back down in trip and has a bit to prove returned to this surface (well held both starts on polytrack last spring).

66/1, last of 8 in handicap hurdle at Catterick (19.3f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Latest effort in this sphere was poor, too, and he is readily passed over, for all that he has slipped to a potentially very handy mark.

Course winner. Latest success at Wolverhampton in September. Fourth of 7 in handicap (10/3) back there (12.2f) when last seen in October, left poorly placed. Needs to find improvement from somewhere.

Winner at Chelmsford in December. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 4/1) 55 days ago. This 5-y-o is proving to be a reliable proposition and should give another good account back up in trip here.

Course winner. Sixth of 10 in novice hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good to soft, 80/1) on hurdles bow 22 days ago. Now just 1 lb above last winning mark and will be a danger to all if on-song.

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (10/3) at this course (10f, AW) 40 days ago, just holding on. 2 lb nudge fair enough and, with the booking of Simon Walker a plus, he has to be taken very seriously.

4/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 25 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time for this debut on polytrack and will need to put that run behind him if he's to come out on top.

12/1, creditable third of 12 in minor event at this C&D (AW) 4 days ago, running on. Will surely shed his maiden tag soon enough and likely to give another good account of himself.

40/1, last of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 29 days ago and it's hard to envisage him playing a leading role here on the back of that performance.

C&D winner. First run since leaving Tony Carroll when tenth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 80/1) 17 days ago. Significantly up in trip and sports a first-time visor.
