A rare jumps runner for David O'Meara and novice out to remain unbeaten - punting pointers for Sunday

Punting pointers for some of Sunday's meetings

Lingfield: Terror out to make it two from two

Arguably the most interesting race of the day at the all-weather track is the opening 7f novice stakes (12.52), in which last-time-out course-and-distance winner Dancing Terror comes up against interesting debutant Express Train and the 85-rated Winnebago. 

Dancing Terror showed a decent level of ability on his debut to get the better of 8-11 favourite This Farh by half a length, since when he's had a 47-day break and should surely have improved.

He is already looking like a wise purchase and the half-brother to three winners must have a reasonable chance of making it two wins from as many starts under Sean Levey. He has been the only runner and winner for trainer Amanda Perrett on the Flat this year.

She said: "It's going to be tough here under a penalty, but he's in good form and since he's a course-and-distance winner, we hope he runs a good race. He ran a big race last time, he was green and he did it the hard way, being slow away, so he'll have learned a lot."

Musselburgh: Stressfree bids to build on promising hurdle debut

David O'Meara is known for his exploits on the Flat but does have the occasional jumps runner – he's had 36 winners in total with the last coming in 2021.

In the 1m7½f maiden hurdle (2.00), he saddles Stressfree, who travelled best before weakening into third on his hurdling debut at Catterick on New Year's Day. He was 6-4 favourite that day under Henry Brooke, who rides again.

Rated 93 on the Flat and last seen finishing seventh in the November Handicap, Stressfree should have a decent future over obstacles if building on that opening effort.

Musselburgh stat: handicapper to note

Paul Robson has a 29 per cent strike-rate with handicap chasers at Musselburgh this season with two winners from seven runners. He saddles Arctic Ambition in the 2m4½f handicap chase (3.30).
