THE HULK won over the minimum trip in novice company at Southwell recently. But his debut success came over today’s distance at Lingfield and George Boughey’s charge makes most appeal of those handicapping for the first time. The latter group includes Out Of The East and Mollys Brother, who are closely matched on earlier running over track and trip, while Elladora and Royal Advice are others open to improvement. Kevin The Minion and Blue Hero are more exposed with the former preferred over today’s distance.
