Lingfield winner Lionrock is 3lb higher today but could still get involved if quickly away from his high draw while Alabanda has been done no favours by a high stall number as she likes to race prominently too. Both Ardmay and Sir Windsorlot showed enough last season to suggest they'll be winning a handicap this year and the same comment applies to SABHAN. He went close on his handicap bow at Yarmouth in October behind the progressive Regal Gold and Geoff Harker's colt gets the nod on his return to action. A third at Salisbury in August was Hi There's best effort and he can also figure in this with a similar run.
