Eyecatcher

Simple Endeavour (2.50 Lingfield)

The Andrew Balding-trained filly hinted at ability on slow ground last year and might prove better than a modest opening mark.

Handicappers' nap

Galway Mahler (2.05 Southwell)

Appeared to take a big step forward when completing a hat-trick at Huntingdon last month and, with Harry Cobden booked, looks up to defying another rise in the handicap.

Speed figures

Saturnalia (1.50 Lingfield)

Made an encouraging return when third at Chelmsford six weeks ago and from a stable in fine form could be in the shake up.

West Country

Highlands Legacy (3.35 Southwell)

Dark horse

Kraken Diamond (8.30 Wolverhampton)

The drop in trip should suit having hit the front a furlong from home last time before eventually finishing sixth. He has dropped 6lb since switching from Ireland to a mark of 48 and should be winning races off that mark.
