Saint Honore has been winning lower grade handicaps at Lingfield and escapes a penalty for last week's victory in an apprentices' race. Candyman Can scored over 1m3f here last time and could go well again while Isis Blue went close over 1m2f at the track on his latest outing and is another to consider. But GILD MASTER has been getting steadily closer and it could be the turn of Alan King's charge today on the back of a third at Chelmsford. Shadow Rock has slid down the weights if back to his best.
