730 Lingfield-Rum Swizzle looks a horse that lacks tactical pace and it often finishes its races well but thats normally because it cant take up the position it wants early enough.Theres nothing in its ratings that suggest it should be near the front of the market here.

Its 0 from 9 in its career and the sire is 1 from 19 here.Its hit the frame on the last 3 starts but all those have been on fast turf.

Layline has hit a bit of form of late and is a 3 time course winner here,its latest run behind an unexposed stayer gives it a solid chance.

El Campeon drops in class and has won here,it should run well while Mistamel comes here after a good win but has to prove itself on the All Weather.

At a big price,I dont think Shirataki is completely out of it,it goes well here.

Lay Rum Swizzle 20pts at 4.8(Lay upto 5.5)-(Wasnt Matched)Massive drifter all day

330 Stratford-After a spell in the doldrums,Domtaline came back to form last time,its very well handicapped now and is 1w-1p-3r around this track.

This horse likes a little break between races(41 days+ 5w-2p-16r) and anything close to that last run,would see this go very close.

Town Mouse ran well last time over shorter but is unproven over this far and is 0w-1p-11r in this grade.It looks very short to me.

Stephen Hero has only had 3 starts over fences & hails from a yard I really respect but it needs to find some surge of improvement from somewhere.

No Likey drops in class & wouldnt be far away on its run 2 starts back but it is 0w-0p-3r around this course.

Alwaystheoptimist is the other that has a squeak.

Back Domtaline 12pts at 4.5 at Corals/Bet365(Accept 4.0)-4th(-12pts)Well backed but looked a little outpaced throughout.

630 Lingfield-I like Monsieur Jamie here.

This horse produced its best run so far this year when finishing second,in a better race than this just 5 days ago.

The quick return isnt a concern(Returning to the track within 7 days or less 1w-1p-2r) and in its 3 starts at this track its finished 1st-2nd-2nd.

Its 5Ibs lower than its last winning mark and the drop in class can only help.

Any rain will only help its chance.

Captain Ryan is a Bath Specialist,with 4 course wins there,its record elsewhere isnt so good(0w-2p-14r),its far too short in the market.

Blue Amazon has only 6 starts and could be capable of better while Picansort finally got its head in front on turf last time but is now up in class and at a track where its 0w-0p-3r.

Back Monsieur Jamie 9pts at 5.5 at Paddys/Ladbrokes(Accept 4.5)-Won(+25pts *Non runners)Hosed up,shame about the rule 4,as it wouldve won anyway.(DT+13pts)
