There are four meetings on Saturday at Lingfield, Navan, Southwell and Wolverhampton. Here are statistics from each track which could help your punting . . .


Lingfield

George Boughey has been operating at a 31 per cent strike-rate with his runners in the last fortnight. The Newmarket trainer aims to continue this run with four chances on Lingfield's Saturday card.

A comfortable winner at Southwell on Sunday, Ehteyat attempts to supplement that in the card's opening 2m handicap (11.55) and another last-time-out winner, Pocket The Packet, runs in the following 6f handicap (12.27). Paris Lights has a leading chance in the 1m2f handicap (1.37) and Boughey's final runner is stable debutant All The King's Men in the 7f handicap (2.12).

All four of Boughey's hopefuls are partnered by Ryan Moore, who will be riding in Britain for the first time since October.

12.27 Pocket The Packet
1.37 Paris Lights
2.12 All The King's Men


Navan

Paul Townend has been riding winners left, right, and centre, with ten of his last 18 mounts first past the post. That 56 per cent strike-rate could be enhanced when Townend heads to Navan for three rides on Saturday's card.

Intranet drops from Grade 1 company to contest the opening 2m rated novice hurdle (12.00) before Townend dons the Gigginstown silks aboard Shanbally Kid in the 2m4f maiden hurdle (12.32).

His final ride of the day comes in the 3m beginners chase (2.52) when Aione tries to get off the mark over fences at the fourth time of asking.

Southwell

David Allan is a go-to man for Southwell punters with his 14 winners from 55 rides in the last five seasons producing a 25 per cent strike-rate and a healthy £75.08 profit to level stakes.

He heads to the track for one ride aboard Perfect Swiss in the 7f handicap (1.25).

The seven-year-old arrives in fine form, having produced figures of 33132 since switching back to the all-weather, with the victory coming over a mile here last month under Allan. Perfect Swiss is 6lb higher now but remains 4lb below his peak winning rating of 75.


Wolverhampton

Ross Coakley has ridden six winners on the all-weather this year and has three chances to add to his tally at Wolverhampton on Saturday.

Prospering runs in the 7f novice (5.30) before the ten-year-old Inaam aims for a fifth course win when lining up in the second division of the 6f classified race (7.30) for trainer John Butler.

Coakley's last ride is Starfighter in the concluding 1m4f handicap (8.30). All three mounts look set to feature prominently in the betting for Coakley as he tries to enhance on a 32 per cent strike-rate over the past fortnight.
