Richard Hannon has two entered here and MIRACLE NINETYNINE looks to have the edge over Polytrack winner Velociter. The former has only had three runs and was only caught close home on his reappearance at Doncaster after looking the likely winner. He makes his handicap debut from a fair mark and the form has been given a boost by the subsequent success of the fourth. Buckleberry won on Lingfield's Turf track last season and reappeared to gain a surprise success at Kempton so there's probably more to come as there is from Udododontu, who has progressed with each run, looked a nice prospect at Redcar and is highly regarded by his trainer. Solar Flair, a maiden winner at Lingfield in December, reappeared with a fair effort at Nottingham where he didn't get the run of the race so is expected to do better.
