In depth

Verdict

Takeonefortheteam won an amateurs' race at Salisbury last time while BRAINS (NAP) scored easily on the all-weather at Lingfield when landing an apprentices’ race. He can notch-up his first win on Turf racing off the same mark today. Lenny's Spirit placed at Chelmsford a fortnight ago and a visor is fitted for this while Hurricane Helen won over track and trip last month but was beaten off today’s higher mark earlier in the week. Melakaz placed here on his first outing of the year and may also figure.
