Lingfield 3.00 Piping Dream 8/1 Winner
Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, 4th of 7 in nursery at this C&D (polytrack) 7 days ago. Respected.
Made all, hard pressed entering final furlong, held on well under pressure, all out (op 7/1 tchd 6/1)
Bath 5.25 Gulland Rock 13/2 x
Made a winning reappearance at Catterick (5f) in April, and not beaten far in next 4 starts. Never involved at Kempton (5f) latest, but type to bounce back.
Chased leaders, ridden over 2f out, not quite pace to challenge, no extra inside final furlong (op 9/2)
Kempton 8.10 Mythical Madness 11/2 x
Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Windsor in July. 4/1, creditable 3rd of 7 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to soft) 18 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Has good chance on form. Raced on outer, progress to track leaders halfway, driven over 2f out, not quicken after, weakened final furlong (op 4/1)

Improved performer over hurdles last summer, scoring twice at 2¾m. Hasn't been at best since returning to action, but step in the right direction at Maret Rasen a month ago and is well handicapped.
Held up in rear-division, joined leaders after 8th, upsides approaching 2 out, led between last 2, mistake last, edged ahead closing stages (op 3/1)

Linfield 2.00 Charming Thought 0.44/1 Winner
625,000Y, Oasis Dream colt. Dam, useful 1m-1¼m winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Purple Sage. Promising 2nd in maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 19 days ago. Sets a solid standard.
Chased leading pair, smooth headway to challenge over 1f out, led 1f out, pushed clear, readily (op 4/9)

Backed up the improvement he'd shown at Newbury when runner-up at Newmarket. Led, headed inside final 1f, kept on. Well-bred colt who's in excellent hands, and sets the standard here
With leader, ridden to lead over 1f out, headed inside final furlong, kept on but held towards finish (op 11/10)
