Vee dancer continues on an upwards trajectory beating a winner on a hat trick running off 120 while vee dancer is barely 💯 so lots still in hand for that runner who only had a 7lb penalty to deal with.

These three have claims here as do about three other runners.
Thin Lizzy saw off sweet glance ( won Saturday) for third place in a race.
M.kodi was ahead of thin Lizzy in same race.
While Lincoln dream was an outlier in a hot Doncaster affair where others drawn nearby came out soon after and won. Not seen since.

7pm
Each way
Won off 74
Bargain basement sale 1k last year when 70 down to basement mark now.
Well drawn now and bottom weight.
Only wins at 5f but chance at this level.

Waiting on trebles Inca prince with villa to beat Norwich and man city to beat Leeds/ or Silva to have a combination of shots on target and tackles of 4+ will have to be all shots as his tackle count is poor.

Also Rapina and Silva to have a shot on target each at 4/1

9.29pm
Cashed out on a small treble with villa 1-0 up
City /city double result and Inca Prince.

But the decent one needed two more tackles or shots from Silva but he was taken off at half time. No option to cash out. Ironically he made two tackles.

[sporting sam]

I think these may run well.

Agent of Fortune
Master of own destiny here gone to good yard on back of performance which suggested a win was imminent.
1220
One Journey
Not far off listed class flat horse who won by 6 lengths on final run for Roger Charlton. Two course wins already and likely to be a smart recruit in time to hurdles.

2pm
Silver forever
More than ready for this listed challenge and looked in good order in match race with imperial Alcazar.
3.05
Darling Du Large
6.45
Dutch Decoy
Back to winning mark.
Hollie Doyle rides and you are guaranteed at least a run for the money. Significantly, the mark of 82 has not been reached by many of these rivals and Dutch Decoy is top weight here.

Head law
Cost a fortune at the sales and is yet to show any ability. This open race gives him an opportunity under jonjo junior to at least give his owner some hope of future recouping the 150k.
Meanwhile
I am Maximus
No bet at odds on, but a likely winner.
saw off my Drogo in a bumper and the 155 mark earned subsequently by that one must rub off onto Nicky Hendersons horse who did better than the bare display against Jpr one last time.

Leicester 1.05

Sholokjack
Win
Winning pointer not raced since last December in that time the second and third have won five races under rules in Ireland.
Likely to know his job for new yard.

Off for over 1000 days may need the run but in form when last seen.

Lingfield 2.25

Pablo Del Pueblo
Win
Bolted up a month ago here and has obvious opportunity to defy a ten pound hike. Still way down the handicap here and there could well be more to come.
Camachess

Also has strong claims and ran well in a better race last time.

On a good mark for stable that does well with flat runners here.

Shown nothing to suggest a return to form is on the cards, but steps up in trip here over a mile for first time and is very well treated.
