Mulholland's Vallis can build on promising return to action

Newmarket: David Milnes

Silent Hunter (4.00 Lingfield, nap)

The son of Dutch Art has been showing up well in his faster paces on the Limekilns of late and is expected to strike first time out for the in-form Saeed Bin Suroor.

North: Colin Russell

Rampant Lion (7.15 Chelmsford, nap)

Lightly-raced three-year-old who got off the mark in good style at Hamilton last week. Has plenty of scope for further improvement and fancied to follow up on his all-weather debut.

Others to follow
Chelmsford: 5.45 Kermouster, 6.45 Caplin, 8.15 Tagle, 8.45 Penny Pot Lane, 9.15 Spirit Of Zebedee.

Lambourn: James Burn

Sophosc (3.25 Lingfield, nap)

Stepping up to a mile has helped this useful gelding win his last two and although those victories have not gone unnoticed by the handicapper there is hope he can be effective from his new mark.

Racing Post Ratings: Paul Curtis

Noble Peace (1.50 Lingfield)

Notable class dropper with a much kinder draw then when held in higher grade the last twice. Ran well enough on turf previously to give him claims at a price off his reduced mark.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

So Hi Class (3.25 Lingfield)

Decisive Kempton winner last month he endured a troubled passage when runner-up at Chelmsford last time out but is improving and can get back on the winning trail.

Longshot: Vishal Junglee

Seprani (4.30 Lingfield)

This course winner finished fast late on last time out and could be dangerous back down in grade.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Shush (2.35 Clonmel)

An easy winner of a bumper at Wexford on her debut in June, the daughter of Flemensfirth has strong claims judged on her first effort over hurdles at Kilbeggan in August when she ran second to Sir Benford Wales who has won again since. The step up to 2m4f should suit the Willie Mullins-trained five-year-old.

The Raceform Interactive nugget

In the last five seasons Ralph Beckett is 8/30 with his 2yos at Lingfield (a 27 per cent strike-rate), improving to 5/8 (63 per cent; +£19 to £1 stakes) in nurseries. Fox Fearless makes his handicap debut over a mile at 3.25.
