Suwaan can push on from recent outing

Breathing operation seems to have had desired effect

- The Ferret

SUWAAN can feel the benefit of a recent outing as he tackles the Trainer Ted Powell Memorial Handicap at Lingfield.

A breathing operation has seemingly had the desired effect, as Suwaan looked nailed on for victory at Newcastle last week only for 20-1 Pea Shooter to swoop late and deny him by a nose.

It looked like he should have won, and compensati­on awaits.

JAALBOOT made a good start for Mark Johnston at Chelmsford last month and can get off the mark for the Middle ham handler in the rememberin­g Nathan Armstrong Handicap.

Previously trained by Owen Burrows, Jaalboot changed hands for 18,000 guineas in February after failing to strike gold in two juvenile starts.

On the evidence of his recent fourth, that could be money well spent as he is entitled to improve for his first start since last July and was still not all that far away in a novice heat.

Making his handicap bow off a mark of 67, Johnston has plenty of scope with this half-brother to the useful Hit The Bid.

Meanwhile, HIGH WELLS looks worth a punt in the opener at Fontwell.

SELECTIONS:

FONTWELL: 2.05 High Wells, 2.35 Leo Luna, 3.10 Cappaway, 3.40 Atlantic Roller, 4.15 Deebaj, 4.50 Very Live, 5.20 Gwalia.

LINGFIELD: 2.20 Ronnie The Rooster, 2.50 Jaalboot, 3.25 Ceyhan, 3.55 SUWAAN (NAP), 4.30 Black Bess, 5.05 Jashma, 5.35 Polar Light.
