Hover can rise above the rest at Lingfield

H over is of significant interest on his return from a six-month break in the Bombardier British-Hopped Amber Beer Handicap at Lingfield.

Following a couple of sound efforts in defeat on the all-weather in February, Martyn Meade's youngster made a successful turf debut at Goodwood in the summer with a short-head victory over Aquascape.

Not only has the runnerup won since, but so have the third, fourth and fifth home, giving the form an extremely solid look.

H over' s victory earned him a 5lb rise ahead of his comeback, but there is every chance a subsequent gelding operation, and the fact that he remains very lightly raced, can help him find the necessary improvement to strike gold once more.

Meade also saddles an interesting contender for the Play Ladbrokes 5-A-Side On Football EBF Fillies' Handicap in Aspiration.

The daughter ofFoo steps in the sand opened her account at the third attempt in the mud at Yarmouth in October, and was well fancied to follow up on her first foray into handicap company at Newmarket 11 days later.

She ultimately disappointed on the Rowley Mile, with the race perhaps coming a little too soon, and she has been given plenty of time to recover ahead of a switch to an artificial surface.

Having been dropped a couple of pounds to a mark of 78, Aspiration can be expected to make her presence felt.

Kempton punters should rely on impressive Chelmsford scorer Maraakiz in the Unibet/British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes.

The William Haggastrained juvenile is bred to be pretty smart as a son of Muhaarar out of South African Group One-winning sprinter Entisaar, and looks an exciting prospect for owner Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum judged on his taking debut success in Essex.

The placed horses have been out of luck following that, although all have performed well enough to suggest Maraakiz is capable of defying a penalty before being stepped up in class as a three-year-old.

Amniarix is the one to be on in the Unibet 3 Uniboosts A Day Fillies' Handicap.

Following a couple of readying efforts at Ayr and Kempton, Ed Walker's inmate made a mockery of her opening mark of 69 at Wolverhampton last month.

The assessor responded by raising her 8lb, but that may not be enough to stop a filly of this potential going in again.

Amniarix's jockey James Doyle can double up aboard

Roger Charlton's Imperium, who bids to make it three from three in the Unibet New Instant Roulette Handi cap.
