Family Fortunes finished runner-up yet again when narrowly beaten at Lingfield while Scofflaw ran well again last time having won at Chelmsford before that. Collateral form has the latter closely matched with JUANITO CHICO but it could be the turn of Stuart Williams’ charge today having gone very close over track and trip recently with Enzemble back in fifth. Divine Messenger and Shyron won lower grade races last month at this track and Lingfield respectively while Intrepidly also has a shout dropping back down in distance on his first outing for a new yard.
