TYCOON (6.00 Windsor, nap)
This son of super sire Kingman created a good impression on his debut at Sandown in late August. He travelled sweetly enough but finished the line full of running in third place. He gave the impression he would come on plenty for that experience and has much more to offer the Gosdens who have made a flying start to the new Flat season. They can bag another winner with Oisin Murphy in the saddle.
BELL SHOT (2.45 Lingfield, nb)
He shaped well on turf when third at Thirsk last time. He was just a little tapped for toe over the six-furlong distance there and moving back to this best trip can pay dividends. His last visit to Lingfield saw him beaten just a length and he’s back from the same handicap mark.
BARMYBLADE (4.40 Ayr, treble)
He took advantage of a falling handicap mark to land a battling victory at Catterick last time. He was returning from more than six months off there and showed a good attitude. The handicapper has been more than fair with just a 2lb nudge up the weights and he has few miles on the clock so there should be improvement to come.
DOUBLETHETROUBLE (2.15 Lingfield, Lucky 15)
He has been knocking on the door and made it three podiums in a row when a close-up third in a similar contest to this at Kempton last time. He stays well and his rider’s 7lb claim brings his weight down nicely.
