SARAH'S BOY is the tentative suggestion ahead of Carr Hall and Crimson Flame. The selection hasn't shown a great deal in his five race career to date but he is handicapped accordingly. This is his first run for his current connections who have enjoyed some success on the level this winter. It would be no surprise were they able to get some level of improvement out of Sarah's Boy. Carr Hall will be fancied to reverse Lingfield form with Formidable Guest as the pair were only separated by a head at the line although the winner's connections have opted to reduce her penalty by using a claimer. Crimson Flame has gone close on both starts for this yard and it may just be a matter of time until he puts his head in front whilst Playful Asset makes a modicum of each-way appeal but this might be the best time to take a chance on Sarah's Boy.
