We head to Lingfield this afternoon for the Spring Cup, a listed race, where there are now 13 runners as Cav Okay is a non-runner.
No surprises to see that it's tight at the top - it's a competitive race for a big prize.
The top-rated is Hurricane Spirit - the current 4.40 favourite on Betdaq. The John Best trained runner was unbeaten on the all-weather before being beaten over six furlongs last time when conditions were not in his favour. This is more his distance and he remains a horse with great potential. The stable won the same race last year with Sunny King.
We're interested in four others Hinton Admiral (7.5), Aahayson (130), Cesc (25) and Fares (46). As you can see from the latest Betdaq prices in brackets there are one or two speculative selections there !!
Hinton Admiral is from Mark Johnston's in-form yard and won a listed event over six furlongs here last time and is one very much to keep on the right side of. Cesc is improving at a rapid rate, has Seb Sanders onboard and the stable is in form. The Racing Post betting forecast of 14/1 was much more indicative of his chances and we'll take a chance at nearly double those odds. The same pretty much goes for Fares who was forecast at 16/1 - he has an entry for the 2,000 Guineas but is trained by eternal optimist Clive Brittain !
Aahayson is getting into the realms of the ridiculous but proved a tough performer as a two-year-old and we'll have a small bet on the place market. He needs to improve but comes from a stable where big priced places are not uncommon.
