Spring Pursuit, who underlined his tip-top form when scoring on Knavesmire recently, can extend his winning sequence to four at Lingfield tomorrow.

The Richard Price-trained gelding goes for the featured £10,000 Tote Credit Showcase Handicap and will again have the assistance of smart apprentice Paul Doe, who has struck up such a notable association with the three-year-old.

Spring Pursuit got off the mark by three lengths from Count Frederick at Brighton at the end of last month. He followed-up at York when getting the better of Welcome Sunset by half a length in a 25-runner handicap and, just 48 hours later, completed a hat-trick at Windsor.

His latest success, achieved by half-a-length from Sena Desert, confirmed Spring Pursuit to be in excellent heart.

A 6lb penalty is not expected to halt him tomorrow.

Price and Doe can also score with nap selection My Legal Eagle in the Eat In The Trackside Carvery Handicap.

Badly drawn at York last time, when he started favourite in a 20-runner apprentices' handicap, My Legal Eagle stayed on well at the death to finish third to Caerosa.

Previously successful at Salisbury, he can get back on the winning trail here.

Gay Kelleway knows Lingfield better than most, being based on the course.

She can add to her tally of winners at her 'backyard track' with Khalik in the Get Married At Lingfield Handicap. There was much to like about Khalik's latest effort at Windsor where he failed by only two lengths to catch Carlton and beat the remainder of the 20-strong field by at least the same margin.

With John Stack on board, he can go one better tomorrow.

At Yarmouth, Heathyardsblessing bids for a compensation prize in the Mautby Conditions Stakes.

Reg Hollinshead's juvenile failed by only a neck to beat favourite Khasayl in the 26-runner Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar last time.

He races for only a fraction of that sum tomorrow, but, if able to reproduce the form, must take plenty of beating. Dean McKeown, in the saddle at Redcar, makes the long journey south to keep the partnership intact.

Gay Lass makes appeal in the Billockby Nursery Handicap.

Ray Cochrane's mount has finished in the frame in each of her three starts, most recently at Newcastle where she finished fourth to Chapel Royale.

That was her first outing for 11 weeks and it took its toll on Gay Lass who fell in a heap on the soft ground in the final couple of furlongs.

Likely to be all the better here, she is expected to go well for trainer James Fanshawe, whose horses remain in good form.

Tony Beech, who is proving to be the apprentice 'find' of the season can add to his tally of winners aboard Hoh No in the Thrigby Handicap.
