Monday 29 January

An easy win yesterday for the well-supported favourite Lopinot in our featured race.

Today's HorseGraph is the 1.50 at Lingfield which has been reduced to just six runners with Catspraddle and Wotavadun being non runners.

Night Prospector is currently trading at 2.23 on Betdaq - with two horses rated above it - that's a price that tempts us in for the lay. He seems really quite solid in the market having been matched at an earlier 2.44 but on form and figures it's hard to get too enthusiastic. The drop back to five furlongs should certainly help - and don't be put off by jockey Tolley Dean who won twice on him within the space of four days at the back end of last year. However, it looks a case of him going off the boil recently - possbly has had too much racing for the time being and didn't show a great deal of sparkle at Southwell last time out.

I much prefer the chances (and the odds) of second best Succeed who is trading at around 4.1 currently. She comes from a stable in good form and William Buick - who is well worth his seven pound allowance - gets the ride for the first time. She was well backed before ending a losing sequence of 21 when winning at Wolverhampton in December so keep an eye on the late market indications on Betdaq in the 10 minutes before the off.
