Sea Galaxy - 15:10 Yarmouth
Smart Stat: 21% - William Haggas' strike rate at Yarmouth since the start of the 2018 season
Sea Galaxy shaped with plenty of encouragement when third on her debut at Newmarket 12 days ago, keeping on well under a hands-and-heels ride after to pass the post only six lengths behind the winner. That form sets the standard in this line-up and the inexperience she showed at Newmarket suggests she is sure to improve with the run under her belt. Trained by William Haggas, who has enjoyed plenty of success at Yarmouth in recent years, Sea Galaxy rates a confident selection to get off the mark at the second attempt.
Consensus de Vega - 15:30 Lingfield Park
Smart Stat: 25% - Roger Varian's strike rate at Lingfield Park since the start of the 2018 season
Consensus de Vega took a step back in the right direction when finding one too good in a maiden at Yarmouth last time, looking the likeliest winner for a long way (hit the minimum price of 1.01 in-running) before being collared in the final 100 yards. That was a fairly useful performance and the way she shaped there suggests the drop back to seven furlongs today will play to her strengths. In a weak-looking maiden, Consensus de Vega is fancied to improve past Minwah to open her account for Roger Varian, who is always worth following with his runners at Lingfield.
Spangled Mac - 17:10 Kempton
Smart Stat: 15% - George Boughey's strike rate with handicap debutants
Spangled Mac wasn't seen to best effect when last seen finishing third in a novice event at Lingfield three weeks ago, very much leaving the impression he needs the emphasis more on stamina. He was still beaten less than three lengths and the winner advertised the strength of that form when following up in a handicap on his next start. That suggests Spangled Mac could be well treated himself now making his handicap debut from a BHA mark of 74, particularly as the step up to seven furlongs is likely to unlock more improvement.
