BEST OF THE REST (SATURDAY)

12:15 LINGFIELD

The Thames Boatman finished a close second in a better race here earlier in the week. A step up to six furlongs looks a favorable decision, as does a drop in grade. As the sole course and distance winner in the lineup he makes plenty of appeal.

Giorgio M looks the biggest threat and best of the rest if returning to form.

Urban Sprawl seemed a tad unlucky when third in an ultra-competitive contest last time out. He looked the one to take out of that race and despite the high draw could go well at a price.

Bottom-weight So Quiet and top-weight Sterling Knight pose obvious dangers and the veteran Orbaan might go well at a price.

Bond Spirit may not have tasted success in a good while but his best recent effort came when second here over 1m6f. Although there's doubts about this extended trip he's a decent enough price to be tempted to play him each-way in what looks a very open race.

It's interesting that one of the countries top jockeys in Cieren Fallon sticks around to take the ride on former course and distance winner Harlington. He may have more weight to carry this time around but his recent Lingfield performance still gives us plenty of hope of another solid effort.
