Blue Bounty started favourite for a handicap at Lingfield last week but came up short again. Mukaynis has his first start for Kevin Ryan having been plying his trade in the French provinces. He is best watched but Southwell third Saved My Bacon could be interesting if handling Tapeta and Prominna wasn't entirely disgraced here at the start of the month. The filly SILVER MIRAGE has been placed in both starts on this surface and is given one more chance to get off the mark as this does appear to be her best trip.
