I love NH racing, especially the big handicap chases, not too keen on the flat (turf) and rarely bet on the AW.

Sir Michael Stoute runs 2 horses in this race, a maiden over slightly further than 1m 3f.

He runs the favourite and recent 3rd Scottish Vespers, who finished behind Rosslyn Castle over 10f at Windsor, Rossyln Castle has won a class 3 handicap since that run.

His other runner is the very well bred Pursuitoexcellence, by Gallileo out of a mare by Zafonic who cost 550,000 as a yearling and should be good enough to grab at least a place on his racecourse debut.

Only 3 runners go to post in this seller and only 5lbs separates them on official handicap ratings and marvo is the only distance winner in the field.

Reaction can be ruled out as it's 800 days since his last run and even longer since his run on the flat, although he comes here on a 10lb lower mark than that run.

Marvo has run 8 times here at Lingfield, winning once over this distance but often finds very little when asked to challenge.

On that basis i am going for Dazzling Valentine, who has won over further and knows how to battle in a close finish

The big hitting spaniard got beat in the quarter finals of the Volvo world matchplay last week.

He has yet to finish in the top 20 this year on the european tour, he won twice on tour last season.

Alvaro finished 5th in last years world matchplay too, then came here and finished 18th, he would have finished a lot higher but for a 76 & 74 over the weekend.

His driving accuracy this year is the worst it has been in the last 5 years but his greens in regulation is the best in the same period.

Hopefully he can improve his driving and take confidence from his 5th place and grab a much needed high finish

The South African has already won 3 european tour events this year, he won back to back events in January when he won the Joburg Open & the World Golf Champions event.

He struggled last week in the group stages of the world matchplay and lost in a 3 way play off to decide who went through from the group.

He failed to qualify for the Open last year but doesn't have to qualify for the 2nd best event in the European tour calendar.

He can surprise again and get another top finish

Rafael Cabrera Bello reached the semi finals of the last weeks world matchplay.

He played well in the group stages and his early knockout matches and only found Graeme McDowell too good for him.

The Spaniard has played the weekend in every event in 2012 and won the Desert Classic in February, opening with a superb 63.

He also finished 3rd in the Malaysian Open in can grab a top finish again here this week.

Nicolas Colsaerts won the Volvo world matchplay last weekend when he beat Graeme McDowell in the final.

He struggled early on as he halved both of his group matches and only got through the group stage in a play off.

He has been playing this year and has 4 top 7 finishes in his last 5 events.

He hits the ball really long and very acurate and can reach a few par 5's in only 2 shots.

Another top finish is on the cards here.

Denis Istomin doesn't win very often on clay but managed a win in the first round when beating Alejandro Falla in 3 sets.

Nikolay Davydenko played well when beating Matthew Ebden in straight sets in the first round.

Davydenko lost 3 of his 4 matches on clay prior to coming here but Istomin has an even worse record.

He was torn apart in the 2nd set in the last round and Davydenko can get through here

Lewis Hamilton has qualified on the front row in 4 of the seasons first 5 races.

He started on pole in Australia in finished in 3rd place, he done exactly the same in Malaysia, starting on pole and finishing 3rd.

He started a lowly 7th in China and again finished 3rd, In Bahrain he again started on the front row in 2nd place but had his worst finish of the season where he finished 8th.

Last time out in Spain he qualified on pole but had to start from the back of the grid and done well to finish 8th.

We have had 5 different drivers win so far this season, Lewis can make it 6 from 6 as he should start from the front row of the grid.

They have been runners up once and losing semi finalists twice, they wouldn't meet the Germans again until the final

Greece get my small vote for this years Eurovision Song Contest.

The song is actually a decent tune and i would have thought it would have been around the 20/1 mark.

Strategic voting will seem them pick up plenty of points from their near neighbours.

They might also pick up some sympathy votes due to their financial difficulties, a win would see them host the event next year, which would help their economy

22/05 10:00


Denis Istomin is a seeded 7 for this event in Nice and is ranked 43 in the world.

Denis has lost 5 of his last 6 matches but did beat David Ferrer back in March in straight sets, that wasn't on clay and he doesn't love this surface but with the French Open starting next week he will want a good run here.

Alejandro Falla is world ranked 50 and has only won 4 of his last 8 matches, 3 of those were in Madrid last week when he won in 2 qualifying rounds and the first round proper.
