LINGFIELD

1.40: TEAR WHITE possesses loads of pace and can take advantage of his handy low draw. Simon Whitworth's mount made all the running over course and distance last month.

ooo

2.10: Magic Arrow hails from a yard with high quality inmates, while Wain Mountain seems sure to show improvement now that he runs over a distance his pedigree indicates should prove suitable. But the solid form on this surface has been shown by SIMPLY MAGICAL.

ooo

2.40: WHITE PLAINS made late progress to finish runner-up to Meteor Strike here on Tuesday and time may show that to be solid form.

ooo

3.10: TOPTON is well treated on the form he showed to beat Love Academy in good style over course and distance in November and may well have been readied for this prize. Lycian could prove the biggest threat.

UTTOXETER

1.55: LISTEN TIMMY faces only three rivals on his attempt to make it course win number four. Share Options ran below par at Haydock and is the main threat on his earlier course win.

2.25: COOL SPRING will be a stronger mare after her seasonal return at Chepstow and she can prove the point by reversing the form with the winner that day, Flying Gunner.

ooo

3.25: MCHATTIE was al-ways travelling like a winner at Newcastle so he can be given the green light to take this under a penalty. The one to save on would be bumper winner Kiltulaa Lad, who should go well over this stayers' trip.

NEWBURY

2.15: A decent case can be made for most of these, but the form of ASK ANTONY against two subsequent winners at Exeter is what catches the eye.

ooo

2.45: SANTABLESS is the value against form choice and likely favourite King's Road. The selection has done nothing wrong in winning twice at a lower level.

ooo

3.15: With the effectiveness of Bold Gait on soft ground unproven, it is worth taking the favourite on with CITY HALL, a very game second on soft last month at Ascot.
