We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Hard to work out who came out with most credit from their respective races but both copper fox 🦊 and Tip Top Tonto looked like there was much more to come.

Copper Fox behind a decent stablemate (kerrosine) ran on well to come second while Tip Top Tonto had to get around a last fence faller when running on.
Copper Fox is preferred given that his performance was a stable debut.

Taken a long time for penny to drop but cheekpieces and k. Brogan back on board work last time out after three runs as beaten favourite.

Presenting point 21 less to carry than over fences here has a good chance.
Pulled up in a grand national race last time good claims…..

Went very close presenting point. Set sail quite early and was caught close home. Handicapper won’t be too hard and four to six pound rise will see him remain well treated. Will just need to be found a race.

Horses are still in the parade ring at lingfield.
Red walls joint lowest drawn lowest weighted just a pound higher for a win two runs ago at Wolverhampton.
Only second visit to lingfield. Finished second here off mark of 58 prior to running third at wolves and won next time out there.
Other horses obviously have good chances here but red walls looks unexposed and on a good mark.
