Verdict

Plenty of these like to race to the fore so POKE THE BEAR could be worth chancing. In-form pair Ramon di Loria and Bomb Squad head the dangers.

6	Goes well at Lingfield but was left poorly placed there last time. Capable off current mark but needs things to drop right (had hopeless task from position on previous visit here). 1st Pick 6 Poke The Bear (Ire) Jockey: Tyler Heard Trainer: Hayley Burton J: Tyler Heard T: Hayley Burton	100	-	-	-	12%	Scratched

9	Took advantage of career-low mark when scoring over 6f here last month and defied a small rise over C&D 2 weeks later. Good placed efforts next 2 starts, close third over C&D on Friday, and should go well again off same mark. 2nd Pick 9 Ramon Di Loria (Ire) Jockey: Greg Fairley Trainer: Ewan Whillans J: Greg Fairley T: Ewan Whillans	99	-	-	-	17%	5/1
