William "the Kid" Buick is set to ride a winner for Richard Hannon when he partners Vitznau in the Lingfield Park handicap at 3.20pm .He needs to reverse the neck he was beaten by Annemasse last week but ten pounds including the boys five should be enough to do so. He is the nap on an iffy punting card.

King After is going to be busy this week as he runs again today and is set to run tomorrow in a seller (any takers!) I am a bit peeved with the Racing Post saying he has a poor attitude as I have owned horses that are a lot worse. He probably won’t win today but may be value in the place book because of his dodgy reputation.

Optimistic Alfie looks the lay of the day at Towcester. He struggled to win a poor race at Folkestone and was clobbered by the handicapper after that.
