Selected odds by:
A winner three times so far in 39 starts, his most recent victory coming over this trip at Newbury 14 months ago. Beaten under 4L on a return to the Berkshire track last time over a slightly longer trip, he will not be far away here.
Has been successful six times between 5f and 6f but has never raced beyond 7f. Has struggled at long odds in each of his last six races and will do well to open his account tonight. Remains to be seen how he finds the longer trip.
Fairly consistent gelding and his only victory to date was when scoring over a mile here on the AW back in May 2016. Has not been far away in the majority of his races this season and looks to represent outstanding each-way claims. Big run expected.
Sent off at 100/1 when soundly beaten on his debut at Chelmsford back in December, he was sent off favourite for a race at Southwell on his return run but was beaten just under 4L and was always in rear on his last run at Nottingham. Has to improve if he is to strike.
A winner over a mile at Brighton on good ground back in May, she has been a little inconsistent since, running on in her last two starts without looking like catching the leaders. Will be doing all her best work in the latter stages and could sneak a place.
Never a threat in three outings as a juvenile, starting at huge odds each time. She was well beaten over 1m4f at Leicester last time out and would appear to have a lot on her plate tonight.
A winner of two of her 16 outings to date, winning a couple of races over a mile at Thirsk and Kempton. Stepped up to 1m1f her last time out without reward and another furlong to travel here could see about a return to something like her best. Tough test though.
Has run all of her best races here at Lingfield, most notably on her penultimate run over 1m1f when she stayed on in determined fashion to hand out a 3L beating to Ronnie Layne. She faced a tougher test at Sandown last time but is quickly back at her favourite venue. Could go well at longish odds.
She scored over this trip on the AW here at Lingfield back in December 2015 but has failed to hit the target in any of her subsequent starts and long odds have become the norm. Likely to find a few too good here.
Has cut little ice so far in any of his five races and is having his first look at Lingfield in this contest. Has been tried over a variety of distances without reward and will do well to open his account here tonight.

Betsalottie (5/2), Mirimar (11/4), Mr Frankie (4/1), Loving Your Work (5/1), Venetian Proposal (6/1), Just Fred (13/2), London Grammar (12/1), Lord Of The Storm (12/1), Sheer Intensity (14/1), Everdina (14/1), Velvet Voice (20/1), Our Kim (25/1), Secret Look (25/1), Coup De Vent (40/1)
Mr Frankie is steadily coming to hand and will have plenty of supporters hoping he will go one better than on his most recent start. He will be there or thereabouts, while Lingfield certainly brings out the best in Venetian Proposal and she will certainly appear to each-way followers looking for some value. Bestalottie is another who looks certain to run a big race while Just Fred, although still a maiden, ran a race full of promise last time and a repeat will take him close. LOVING YOUR WORK has not won for over a year but he shaped well in a race at Newbury last time out and looks ready for a return to the winners' circle.
