Lingfield Tip: Merhoob

Race wasn't run to suit last time and hampered as pace quickened. Still manage to clock fastest closing sectional in a lost cause. In class 6 company for first time and Well handicapped.

Five-time course and distance winner who returns to Chelmsford for first time since September. Has been running well at Wolverhampton without much luck and deserves another win.

Hasn't raced over 6f since juvenile days but new trainer Paul D'Arcy has brought him back to his best. Fast finish earned him adjusted speed rating of 81 last time. Repeat would be plenty good enough.

Not stood much racing but one of his best efforts was over course and distance. Set overly strong gallop after long-lay off when well beaten at Wolverhampton but did show bright early speed.

Six-year-old who hasn't stood much racing but ran an amazing 21.11s closing sectional at Newcastle after they went no pace through the first half of the race. Fastest closer by 0.35s.

Got behind early when well backed at Southwell. Step-up in trip looks a good decision and this only second start after wind op. Tom Dascombe enjoyed 24% strike rate in all-weather claimers.
