Lingfield Race 2 - Sky Sports Racing Virgin 512 Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
ALWAYS HAPPY (2) impressed when a 1.25L winner attempting the journey on Southwell debut in March. Improvement anticipated with Ryan Moore a notable booking. Serious player representing the in-form Roger Varian yard. On return now YORK TOWER (9) finished second providing both career outings at Yarmouth and Chelmsford. Holds claims first-up if there is a market lead. TURRET (8) is a well-bred three-year-old colt by Kingman out of First Flower. Watch closely in the betting. MOLO DEL PALAZZO (11) finished 3L fifth of nine under Oisin Murphy making Wolverhampton racecourse debut. Climbs in trip and interesting resuming after a nine-month absence.

Resuming after a five months break. Finished off last preparation second in a small field at Chelmsford December 11 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Quartermaster with 60.5kg at $4. On debut second in a small field at Great Yarmouth October 13 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Ya Karim with 60.5kg at $21. This is an ideal race to kick off. Progressive and expected to measure up.

Three-year-old filly by Too Darn Hot out of Shama having her first start. Capable of a cheeky run.
