Space Invasion headlines an intriguing feature contest from Lingfield, where three last-time-out winners line up.
1.50 Lingfield - Space Invasion among three last-time winners
The pick of this seven-race card at Lingfield is the Always Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Handicap where Space Invasion heads a field of six.
The Richard Hannon-trained son of Space Blues improved on his first couple of starts to win nicely over this course and distance earlier this month relishing step up to a mile. He will be popular on this handicap debut under Joe Leavy.
George Boughey's Sovereign Wealth readily landed skinny odds when getting off the mark at Wolverhampton on his last start but that was a weak contest, and he will need to do more in this competitive heat.
- Henderson confirms fractured pelvis for Sir Gino
- Sir Gino injury mars The New Lion's win but Henderson star 'comfortable and stable'
Maskatto battled on well when seeing off the reopposing Foothold to land a first career success at this course 26 days ago and he must be feared as he heads into handicaps off an opening mark of 68.
Try Storm Cat has first-time cheekpieces and rates the pick of the remainder, whilst Luminaire completes the sextet for the Cieren Fallon and William Haggas combination.
3.20 Lingfield - Tommy's Promise bids for a five-timer
The prolific Tommy's Promise headlines nine runners for this Midnite A Next Generation Betting App Handicap over ten furlongs.
John Ryan's five-year-old has been in scintillating form this winter, winning his last four starts. Given the form has been franked by the runner-up this week, he will be fancied to extent the winning thread in the hands of 7lb claimer Donagh Murphy.
Alta Rica remains a maiden after six starts but was only narrowly denied when third over this course and distance last time and makes plenty of appeal off the same mark.
Of the others, bottom weight King's Hand has two and a half lengths to find with Tommy's Promise and could get a little closer on these revised terms with the hood retained. Didaar showed promise when third on his first outing for Denis Quinn in December and could progress to trouble the judge.
3.50 Lingfield - Silent Strike takes on Sakura Spirit
An intriguing BetMGM Supports Safer Gambling Maiden Stakes where Silent Strike faces Sakura Spirit at 3.50pm.
Andrew Balding saddles newcomer Silent Strike who was not seen as a two-year-old but is related to some decent types including Stormy Girl. He is worth a market watch on this first start under Callum Hutchinson.
Sakura Spirit wasn't disgraced when beaten six lengths behind Zelaina at Nottingham in June and given how she shaped on that occasion she could step forward over this six furlong trip on her first start for Kevin Philippart de Foy.
The 67-rated Chhota Saab is worth a mention for Sean Woods, stepping back up to the trip that has seen his best displays to date. Also entering calculations is the Charlie Hills-trained Bucklow Hill, who is a half-brother to French Group 3 winner Sydneyarms Chelsea.
Best of the rest
