Dark Horses

LEXINGTON KNIGHT was kept busy throughout the winter with a mixed bag of results and has subsequently slipped down to a very tempting handicap mark. 

He’s 5lbs lower than when running out an impressive winner of the Brighton Challenge Cup over C&D in August, beating Zhang Fei by 2¾l. 

Returning to the turf and fresh from a break, he looks a big player off this handicap mark.

ALBEGONE goes well at Catterick, winning three times and finishing second on three occasions in nine attempts at the North Yorkshire track. 

A consistent sprinter he held his form well last season, including when scoring over 5f at Nottingham in October, beating Wrestling Revenue by 1l on soft ground. He has returned this season with three very solid efforts in defeat, going close at Thirsk on his last two starts, only being denied by a short head and a length. 

Back at his favourite venue this evening, he’s the one to beat.
