Today's selection has the breeze in her sails and her compass set...

At Lingfield today in the opening race at 12.40, West With The Wind has the best form of those who have raced in this maiden. She is a beautifully bred daughter of Gone West and will appreciate the Polytrack surface today. Last time out at Leicester she ran with credit behind Burgundy Ice and she should improve again today with the surface switch.

Today's Selection:

Lingfield, 12.40, West With The Wind, Win

At Huntingdon today in the 1.50, Green Wadi should run well in this novice hurdle after his last run at Plumpton when he finished fifth to Tuanku in September. I fully expect him to come on from that recent outing and should show improved form today. At present he is trading at [2.58] on the exchange.

Today's Selection:

Huntingdon, 1.50, Green Wadi, Win

At Catterick in the opening race at 1.30 Grissom is an interesting runner in this maiden. Last time out at Mussleburgh this colt showed he was heading in the right direction when finishing fourth to Visterre in a nursery. Today he is back in maiden company and has sound win and place prospects.

Today's Selection:

Catterick, 1.30, Grissom, Win and Place

Party Frock has a really good chance to break her maiden at Lingfield today in the 3.50. This beautifully-bred daughter of Oasis Dream has run twice so far and has been beaten at very short odds on both starts. There was a valid excuse last time out when she was a little keen and payed the price when finishing third to Mutheeb over this course.Hopefully she can settle better today and win this event.

Today's Selection: Lingfield, 3.50, Party Frock
