The contenders
Brushstroke KTB Fit 58/100
Brushstroke is a newcomer with no racecourse experience so the assessment rests on pedigree and sales background. The yard has a solid 23% strike rate at this track from 56 runs. Connections will be hoping the colt is ready to go on debut.
Aljoon KTB Fit 55/100
Aljoon has shown promise in two runs, finishing second last time out over this trip. The yard has a solid 22% strike rate at Lingfield AW from a decent-sized sample. Trip looks suitable on the evidence so far but the small overall sample means this remains guesswork.
Gravastar KTB Fit 49/100
Limited performer who has shown little in three starts to date and finished sixth on his only visit to this track. The yard has a solid 15% strike-rate here from a huge sample of runners. Trip looks no better than fair and with only three career runs the full picture is still unclear.
Mr Badger KTB Fit 48/100
Mr Badger is a newcomer from a yard that operates at a steady 16% strike rate at this track from a large sample. The colt cost 42,000gns as a yearling and is a half-brother to a couple of winners, though the immediate family has produced little on the all-weather. With low data confidence and a wide draw on debut, his chance is impossible to quantify beyond the trainer's respectable local record.
Zonneveld KTB Fit 46/100
Zonneveld has shown only modest form in two starts over shorter trips and now steps up to 7f for the first time. The move in distance asks a fresh question of a horse with very little racing behind him. Trainer J S Moore has a 10% strike rate from 1334 runs at Lingfield AW while jockey David Probert is not mentioned in the track data supplied.
