Diligence can help Harry at Lingfield
Diligent Harry can make it three wins in as many starts in the Ladbrokes Watch Racing Online For Free Handicap at Lingfield.
Clive Cox's charge was well supported on his racecourse debut at Wolverhampton in January and justified that confidence with a smooth all-the-way victory over six furlongs.
Despite racing a touch keen early on, he found plenty when asked to hold off the favourite, triumphing by a cosy two and a quarter lengths in that maiden heat.
Switched to novice level next time, Diligent Harry was sent off the 1-7 market leader in what looked an average event - but there could be no arguing with the manner of his victory, dropped back to five furlongs.
He came home four and a half lengths clear on that occasion, again without having to really hit anywhere near top gear, and his starting mark of 90 reflects the promise he has shown.
Cox certainly knows how to handle a three-year-old sprinter, and it would be no surprise if Diligent Harry were to chart a bit higher than this as the year goes on.
Caribeno is another on a roll as he turns out again quickly in the Betway Handicap.
A typical Sir Mark Prescott improver, Caribeno arrives here in search of a sixth win on the bounce, having started his sequence at Catterick last July before a lengthy lay-off until January.
Caribeno has not looked back since his return, making an effortless switch up to two miles on his last two starts most recently when hacking up by five lengths at Lingfield on Saturday.
The handicapper has already raised him from a mark of 68 to his current 80, and he is sure to take a dim view of Caribeno's effortless victory in that apprentice heat.
Prescott drops back to 12 furlongs here, but it is probably preferable to go again quickly off an unchanged mark, rather than wait for the handicapper to have his say.
Wallem is the choice in Kempton's Unibet 3 Uniboosts A Day (London Middle Distance Qualifier) Handicap.
The Sea The Moon colt has a Derby entry at this stage, but it took him three attempts to open his account.
He ran with credit in two heavy-ground maidens at the back-end of the 2020 turf season. Then switched to the allweather in January, he hit the mark in a maiden which has yet to produce a subsequent winner.
The form may not be the strongest, but the manner of Wallem's victory put him a notch above, and he has the chance to build on that now.
