IT is not madness to chance your arm with ONE STEP BEYOND (3.25, nap) in the Top Odds Every Day With BetUK Handicap at Lingfield Park on Wednesday.
A winner on the all-weather surface at Wolverhampton in August, Epsom trainer Roger Ingram's five-year-old slightly disappointed last time out when hanging left in the closing stages over course and distance.
But he still looks likely to have too much ability for his 10 rivals here and with Ingram's daughter Rhiain claiming a useful three pounds, it further boosts the chances.
Half-an-hour earlier at the Surrey track, CAPITAL THEORY (2.55, nb) looks a sound investment in the Huge Daily Boosts Only At BetUK Handicap.
The Charlie and Mark Johnston-trained three-year-old was gelded before his return this autumn and following two readying runs, he made the most of what looked a gilt-edged opportunity in maiden company at Chelmsford recently.
The assessor has generously left his mark of 77 unchanged ahead of his return to a handicap and with confidence buoyed, he can make it back-to-back wins by seeing off eight rivals.
