Lingfield hosts a six-race card on Wednesday, where Newsboy's Nap, Skallywag Bay, runs in the 5.40

SKALLYWAG BAY (5.40, Nap) can cause more mischief for the bookmakers by claiming a second course victory in the Sky Sports Racing HD Virgin 519 Handicap at Lingfield (5.40).

The selection was the cosy winner of a 5f handicap on the all-weather track two starts back and now takes her chance on the turf course.

Off the mark at the third attempt last year, she’s taken a similar amount of time to find her form this season but is now on an upward curve.

She was beaten a neck off a rating of 69 over 6f at Windsor, won next time out off 72 over 5f and went down by another neck back at Windsor nine days ago off 75.

She was up against a very much in form rival last time and another 1lb rise is unlikely to hold her back.

LION’S PRIDE (7.00, nb) appears to have been found a tasty opportunity in the Unibet 3 Uniboosts Per Day EBF Novice Stakes at Kempton later in the day.

The John and Thady Gosden stable have two of the six runners in the 1m3f novice race and Alan King has three.

A half-brother to the Gold Cup winner Courage Mon Ami, he shaped with distinct promise when making his debut in May. The experience should not be lost on him.
