DOUBLE: Diklers Oscar and Zerzura.

Henry Cecil does not have that many horses to run on the all-weather so Zerzura's presence in the Marriott Hotel Opening Spring 2010 Handicap should be noted at Lingfield.

Defeated at a short price on his all-weather bow, Zerzura bounced back from that defeat to land a Wolverhampton maiden by half a length.

The four-year-old is a half-brother to French Group Three winner Frenchmans Bay so there is obviously some ability in the family.

This slow-maturing type looked a decent horse in the making when winning last time and is taken to follow up on his first handicap start.

Poyle Meg was in top trim towards the end of last year and can pick up where she left off in the digibet.com Handicap at Kempton.

Winner of two out of three all-weather outings, Ralph Beckett has given the four-year-old a bit of a break after a narrow success over this course and distance early last December.

She has been raised a further 3lbs for her consistent efforts but still appeals as one with more up her sleeve.

Absa Lutte boasts an excellent record on the sand and she can further improve the statistics in the Southwell Racecourse For Conferences Handicap at the Nottinghamshire venue.

The seven-year-old was a narrow winner of a competitive heat at Kempton last time and can defy a penalty here while in such good form.

Keith Reveley is having a good spell and stable star Tazbar is doing his bit to keep him in the limelight.

He also has a decent mare on his hands in the shape of Diklers Oscar and she should be up to defying a penalty in the EBF "National Hunt" Novices' Hurdle at Carlisle.

She has not been beaten far by the likes of Bygones Of Brid and The Knoxs this season and they would be two of the better novice hurdlers in the north.

Dropped into a mares maiden hurdle last time out at Newcastle she absolutely hacked up and could be pretty useful.

The Saltburn handler can double up with another smart mare, Its Teescomponents in the David Hopper Novices' Handicap Chase.

She started winning off a mark of 78 in May and bar one disappointing run at Doncaster she has improved to a mark of 110 following further successes at Newcastle.

Soulard has not seen much racing this term but he can make good use of the opportunity in Ludlow's Attwood Memorial Trophy Handicap Chase.

He ran a cracker to finish second to a decent yardstick in Psychomodo at Ascot last November and could still be ahead of the handicapper.

Tom George had high hopes for Othermix when he first arrived on these shores but it is fair to say he has not lived up to expectations as yet.

He probably faces his easiest task to date in the Debbie Pennell's 50th Birthday Beginners' Chase and it is about time he showed what he is made of.
