Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Poncho is our selection at Lingfield, and he looks the one to side with on a fitness edge and a progressive profile that suit this Class 4 over two miles on good to soft. He is rated 108, only a few pounds behind the top-rated Anariza on 114, a gap that sits within reach for a horse on the upgrade. Anariza is the chief danger, with Myrighthandman only a pound further back on 113, while Touquet shares Poncho's figure of 108 and cannot be dismissed. Poncho's sharper condition can tip it his way, and he is the pick.

Anariza arrives on the back of a third last time out, and she has run over today's trip and going before, with a winner five starts back, while our rating of 114 ranks her top of eight. The main risk is a 198-day absence, with 166 lb to carry.

Freddie Gordon
Chris Gordon 2/11
Superstylin's recent form reads well, with a second last time out, a second two starts back and wins three and five starts back, but he's been off for 193 days and carries 163 lb. He has run over today's trip and going, yet our figures rank him last of eight.

Reteti has been in the frame in each of his last six starts, including a third last time out and a winner three starts back, yet he is hard to fancy under 161 lb. Our figures rank him seventh of eight, though he has run over today's trip and going and is fit after 17 days.

Alex Hales 2/8
Away For The Night arrives in cracking form, a winner last time out and again three starts back, with a second two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 160 lb off an official mark of 103 is a hefty burden though, and our rating of 107 only ranks him sixth of eight.

Myrighthandman is a leading threat, having run over today's trip and going before, back after just 17 days, and a second and third in his last five show he can get involved. The risk is that he finished fifth last time out, then eighth the start before.

Caoilin Quinn
Jamie Moore & Josh Moore 1/12
Poncho is our pick on profile: he won two starts back, and has run over today's trip and on this going, with 23 days since a last-time-out fall giving a sensible gap. That tumble and a 157 lb burden are the reservations, though our 108 rating is supportive.

Fourth last time out and a winner four starts back, but he was pulled up two runs ago and returns after 205 days off. He has run over today's trip and on this going, and carries 156 lb off 107, while our rating of 108 puts him fifth of eight.
