The Pinto Kid was beaten only a head over 1m4f at Lingfield last time and Pilot Wings also went close over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton recently. Let's Be Happy landed a double at the latter track earlier while Running Cloud posted one of his better efforts at Leicester a week ago. But VINCENT’S FOREVER also showed signs of a return to form at the same track last month on his second start after wind surgery and he gets a speculative vote in an open contest. Miss Blondell ended last year with a placed effort at Lingfield and has her first start since.
