Another class six handicap and this modest affair can go to Postmaster, with Blue Quiver and King After put forward as the main dangers. The selection is one of four top-weights in a race where only three pounds seperates the field. The form of the selection is very consistent and has been placed behind some good yardsticks on his last two runs. He also has some excellent course and distance form and so looks the best option in a wide open contest. King After is a standing dish here at Lingfield and can always be relied on to run his race, he should make the fram off his current mark. Meanwhile Blue Quiver is another all-weatehr specialist that is running well at the moment. He does look a little high in the handicap but should still figure in the finish. Exotic Venture could prove best of the others but we return to Postmaster as the most likely winner.
