The Punt Acca: Harry Wilson with three all-weather selections from Lingfield

Forge Valley Lad (12.28 Lingfield)

Hasn't won for a while, but his last two victories have come over this course and distance and his recent runs suggest his turn is near. He looked an unlucky loser in a 1m2f handicap here in December, when suffering interference when making his challenge, and then went down by just a neck upped to this trip at Wolverhampton. He was too close to pace in a better race over shorter here last time, but may be better suited by this distance now anyway and is no doubt handicapped to win off a mark 19lb below his last winning one.

Starshiba (2.32 Lingfield)

Made it second time lucky for Jack Morland when winning over course and distance in a refitted visor last month and is still well handicapped under a 4lb penalty on his old form, especially as he overcame trouble to score comfortably. It wasn't long ago since he was winning off much higher marks than this and, with the visor retained, he can land a fourth course-and-distance success for the in-form Morland, who has saddled five winners from his last six runners.

Come On John (3.07 Lingfield)

Has been very consistent since joining James Owen, recording form figures of 4132222, and looked very unlucky not to score at Southwell two starts, having been denied a clear run. Looks worth another chance with Jordon Williams claiming a useful 5lb.
