WARNING HAS THAT WINNING LOOK

-

Fair Warning has been sending out all the right signals that he can break his duck in the Ladbrokes Home Of The Odds Boost Handicap at Lingfield tomorrow.

Henry Spiller's three-yearold was beaten into a twolength third as favourite over a mile at Newcastle last time.

He has acquired a new jockey, in the yard's 5lb claimer Ray Dawson, for this sharper test - and a winning Lingfield debut, at his ninth career attempt, may well be in the offing.

Stable form is a marginal concern, but Fair Warning has plenty more going for him in this modest class and he has fine prospects of opening his account, having twice finished an encouragin­g second over this trip elsewhere.

Ginger Fox has tracked down the winner's enclosure twice at Kempton, and can do so here too in the Bombardier British Hopped Amber Beer Handicap.

David Loughnane's gelding, another making his maiden trip to this corner of Surrey, was a convincing half-length winner over the same distance at the end of last month.

The closing Ladbrokes Where The Nation Plays Handicap represents another fine opportunit­y for Autumn Trail. She earned top weight here by bagging her maiden at Chelmsford two weeks ago - and with Doyle providing the assistance again, should be well capable of sustaining her progress by following up.

Wolverhamp­ton's evening card serves up several awkward conundrums.

But Noble Account has a decent chance of recording his first win at the ninth attempt - and only second on the all-weather - in the first division of the opening Play 4 To Score At Betway Handicap.

He was a gradual improver at a modest level on the turf last summer and after making a promising return over a
