Tom Lacey is top of the hot trainers’ list with five winners from seven runners over the past fortnight – a 71 per cent strike-rate. He bids to continue that fine recent record with Vado Forte in the 3.45 at Plumpton.

Dr Richard Newland has an overall strike-rate of 23 per cent. When applying first-time blinkers to a runner that rises to 67 per cent or two out of three. Bob Ford sports the headgear in the 4.35 at Ffos Las, where the gelding has won four times from nine starts.
