4.00pm – Lothario (Each-Way)

LOTHARIO won three times on the all-weather last year, his latest win coming over a mile at Lingfield from a 10lb higher mark, and he shaped well in first-time cheekpieces over this course and distance last time. He looked in rude health beforehand, but his exuberance during the race didn’t help and took its toll in the final stages of the race. The headgear is left on now and, granted it has the same desired effect, he should go close from what is clearly an attractive mark.

4.30pm – Prosili (NAP)

PROSILI is just a fair maiden, but she chased home a well-backed, unexposed handicap debutant over this course and distance last week, and she remains of interest able to race from the same mark. This race doesn’t look as strong and is short on progressive types. Prosili beat the remainder convincingly last time, and is well up to winning a race of this nature on that display, so is a strong fancy under this good-value claimer who retains the ride.

6.00pm – Lomu (NB)

The last win for LOMU came at Wolverhampton in December last year, and he hasn’t been in the best form so far this year. As a result, he is now 4lbs lower than that mark, and left the impression he could be coming back to the boil on just his second start for David Loughnane when fourth at Lingfield last time. He was dropped out in the rear and stayed on nicely when ridden from the two-furlong pole, doing well from his position given the winner made all. Lomu has been given a chance by the handicapper and remains one to keep on the right side.
