Martingrange Boy is taken to defeat Mac Dalia and Wild Bill Tracey. The selection made all to score at Lingfield last week and at a track that can favour the front runner, it could be worth taking another chance about the Murphy runner this afternoon. Mac Dalia should have come on for her most recent run. This drop in grade is certainly interesting. Wild Bill Tracey needs to improve upon a recent fifth at claiming company though his stable are sending out winners. Tommytush is not short of early pace. La Varossa is still a maiden and drops back in trip in search of that illusive victory. The remainder make little appeal. A fascinating affair in prospect and Martingrange Boy could be good enough to steal this from the gate.
