Tag Team, a progressive sprinter who is unbeaten on Polytrack, is the strong fancy in the betdirect.co.uk Handicap over five furlongs at Lingfield.

Andrew Balding's three-year-old turned in a fair performance over this course and distance on his all-weather debut when getting the better of the hitherto frustrating Blueberry Rhyme, who has since won at Southwell by threequarters of a length.

But my selection bettered that effort by some way when upped to six furlongs at this course last time when beating Big Bad Burt, who has since run respectably, by a very comfortable two and a half lengths.

Although he's 10lb higher in the weights, he's open to plenty of improvement and, unlike recent dual course and distance winner Cut And Dried, who is drawn in stall ten, he has the plum draw and the early pace to make best use of his stall one draw.

Only One Legend has a good record over six furlongs on Polytrack and has decent claims of adding to that tally in the Bet Direct In Running Seller over his optimum distance.

Kevin Ryan's horses are in good form at present and his gelding, who hasn't been at his best on the deep fibresand surface at Southwell recently, will be much more at home at this course and is taken to beat Sounds Lucky, who also loves it around here.

Indian Blaze has been in good heart of late and can be on the mark once again in the New Site betdirect.co.uk Handicap over a mile.

A course and distance winner on his penultimate start, the ten-year-old lost nothing in defeat behind the rejuvenated Steely Dan when returned to a mile and a quarter at this course last time.

Gary Moore has a good record at Lingfield and his Joy And Pain makes plenty of appeal in the Bet Direct No Q On 08000 936693 Handicap over seven furlongs.

On his handicap debut last time he wasn't far behind Park Ave Princess and Mister Completely, and he may be a bit better than that bare form as he saw plenty of daylight on the wide outside.

Any market support will boost confidence. At Wolverhampton the best bet on the card could be Katy O'Hara, who has solid claims in the Bet Direct Interactive Banded Stakes over six furlongs.

The daughter of Komaite showed her first worthwhile form for a long time when chasing home Enjoy The Buzz over this course and distance last time and she'll go close in this company if that effort can be reproduced.

Ryan can complete an across- the-card double as his Legalis has decent claims of notching his second win of the year in the Littlewoods Bet Direct Selling Stakes over seven furlongs.

At Fontwell Taffy Dancer makes plenty of appeal now back on a sound surface and looks the one to be on in the opening Cantor Sport Freephone 08000 938111 Maiden Hurdle over two and a half miles.

Course specialist Just Reuben has conditions to suit and looks the one to be on against some ordinary rivals in the Cantor Sport Channel 4 Text 614 Handicap chase over three and a quarter miles.
