2:50 Lingfield Tips

Unplaced in his first seven starts, Bollin Thou has shown improvement in his last two starts, possibly due to the strong handling of champion jockey Sean Bowen. He won at Uttoxeter by 6.5 lengths on New Year's Eve and then followed up with an easy 21-length win at Hereford last week off 7 lbs higher. He has a 7-lb penalty here, but with Bowen riding again, he looks likely to bring up the hat-trick.

Inion Tiogair has been running consistently well this season: two 2nd places, a 5th and a 4th place last time. She is likely to be placed again here, although the favourite Bollin Thou appears to be ahead of the handicapper after winning by over twenty lengths a week ago.

Just been going through the motions in his qualifying runs, and the booking of Twister (5 from 25 for the yard) really catches the eye on his handicap bow. Moreover, there was a lot of early money on the exchanges for him below 9/1 before Paddy Power opened at 16/1. Someone was certainly keen to get on. He could easily come nowhere, but he's a big enough price to chance.
