Tim Easterby, fresh from a treble at Kelso on Monday, can successfully turn his attentions to the Flat with Only One Legend in the ladbrokes.com Handicap over six furlongs on the Polytrack at Lingfield this afternoon.

Although comprehensively outpointed by easy winner Johnston's Diamond at Nottingham last time, my selection had previously notched his second win from as many starts over this course and distance.

That day he was always travelling strongly behind the leaders and, although the runner-up was denied a clear run and got within a neck at the finish, my selection did look to win with a bit in hand.

A four pound rise for that win by no means rules him out of this contest and he also shouldn't be inconvenienced by the double-figure draw. He's preferred to Karl Burke's trailblazing Legal Set.

Darryll Holland has been riding out of his skin of late and he's taken to go close aboard Quiet Storm for his boss Geoff Wragg in the Littlewoods Bet Direct Fillies Handicap over seven furlongs.

Although taking on older horses for the first time, the three-year-olds get a healthy weight allowance from their older rivals and are invariably open to more improvement at this stage.

That's certainly the case with Wragg's filly, who has shown a fair degree of ability on all her starts to date on turf and Polytrack and she's taken to beat Yalla Lara, from the bang in form Andrew Balding yard.

Balding's Tarawan is likely to make a bold bid to land the four-timer in the Bet Direct On 0800 329393 Handicap over a mile and a quarter but he's 13lb higher than his last run on this surface and preference is for Tight Squeeze.

Peter Hiatt has also had a good time of it this year and his six-year-old is a consistent and reliable performer at this level.

She ran another very creditable race over this course and distance last time and is sure to be therebouts.

At Warwick Alan Jarvis' Miss Issy looks interesting from a single figure draw in the Wardington Handicap over seven furlongs.

Her latest effort can safely be ignored as she patently failed to stay the mile and a half when upped markely in trip on sand last time but she had previously shown enough to suggest she could figure in a race of this nature.

James Boyle has been among the winners of late and his dual fibresand winner Red Storm could be worth siding with in a very ordinary looking Valerie Penn Birthday Celebration Handicap over a mile and three furlongs.

At Uttoxeter Malcolm Jefferson could be the man to follow and Calatagan (2.10), Pertino (2.45) and Clear Dawn (5.30) could make for a memorable day for the trainer, who has been fairly quiet of late.

Pick of the trio looks to be Pertino, a consistent sort who is a sound jumper and who will be hard to peg back in the Ricky Sobutta Memorial Novices Chase over two miles.

Although absent since October, he has gone well fresh in the past before and, as he's best on a sound surface, will have conditions very much to his liking this afternoon.
