IDEE FIXEE (3.30) has finished runner-up on all four of his appearances but he is fancied to get off the mark at Lingfield today.
His trainer, Jane Chapple-Hyam, has found a weak race for this consistent maiden, who has easily the best form on offer.
Last time out, the four-year-old was an excellent second of nine in a 1m2f handicap at Chelmsford when tried with a tongue strap for the first time.
Still running a little green, my selection took the lead a bit earlier than ideal with two furlongs left to go before being overhauled by Tarbaan.
With that experience under his belt and, with Adam Kirby taking over in the saddle, Idee Fixee can take the Huge Daily Boosts Only At BetUK Novice Stakes, again over 1m2f.
At Kempton, GOLDEN MAYFLOWER (3.05) looks the pick in the opening Unibet Racing Cheltenham Preview Tonight Apprentice Handicap.
The Amy Murphy-trained filly was a decent second in a handicap over this course and distance last month.
The daughter of Golden Horn made steady progress but could not quite catch Lightship in the final furlong, going down by three-quarters of a length.
It followed another good run when runner-up over a mile at Lingfield behind Super Den.
Off what looks a handy mark, she can make her presence felt today.
