Roger Varian Tyrrhenian Sea He was successful on the list BetUK Quebec Stakes (1.44) 12 months ago and is now only rated at 1 lb.

He ran a cracker in the Churchill Stakes at Newcastle last month – the same race he used as a prep last year – behind The Foxes after a 266-day layoff and is certain to edge Jack Mitchell’s return to the saddle.

Royal hero He was a Wolverton Stakes winner in 2023 when trained by Varian, and has since had a spell in Australia, finishing second in the Crystal Mile, and is now with the excellent Carl Burke. He can take all the hits if he gets back to his best.

America’s pride He returns after wind surgery and Amy Murphy hopes he can build on his efforts at Newcastle earlier this month to win here.

Old Tone Loon (Tom Dascombe), Imagination believer (Ed Walker) and Leah Rose (Ray Guest) complete the lineup.

1.14 Lingfield – Killian’s activated address field of eight

Killian He can be a tough horse to get to, but Archie Watson seems to have found the key to him by applying blinkers. He ran a good second behind the fixed type in the equilateral and Bonus winnings with BetUK Acca Club Handicap (1.14) Looks like a good race to get his head back to the front.

Richard Hughes The Times Putman He could only manage seventh place at Wolves last time out but is unbeaten against his beloved club Lingfield and it would not be surprising to see him bounce back and maintain that record.

Bedford Flyer It is another race that could be in for a big race having returned to form at Southwell last time out. He is a multiple tournament winner and his mark of 92 may not prevent him from previously winning 94.

2.14 Lingfield – Mr. Beaulieu and Zandetta contest the dirt handicap

the Win £1M with BetMGM Golden Goal Handicap (2.14) It seems competitive with many companies that have a good chance of getting this award.

Preference with Mr. Beaulieu Who stayed on strongly to finish second at Southwell. Interestingly, Ross Coakley takes over after beating him impressively over the course and distance at the start of the month and the six-year-old is likely to progress further.

Race lightly Zandetta He represents a huge threat after winning on his debut here and backing that up with a lovely second at Wolves after a 355-day layoff.

Stuart Williams Create a revolution He was last seen finishing a strong second in a competitive contest at Wolverhampton and dropped in grade from the consistent mark of Marco Gianni who he handles well.
