TAKE hat-trick-seeking GALLANT LION to overpower his rivals in the Racing TV Handicap (8.10) at Sandown Park this evening.
Tony Carroll’s three-year-old has been transformed since a lack-lustre juvenile season, getting up on the line to win by a nose in a Brighton handicap last month before following up with a authoritative success at Newbury 13 days ago, running on strongly to beat the favourite, Khinjani, by a length and three-quarters.
The son of Roaring Lion is progressive and can take this mile and a quarter event, with the added bonus of William Buick in the saddle.
Over at Lingfield, DEACS DELIGHT is expected to put in a bold showing in the Follow AtTheRaces On Twitter Handicap (5.40) over an extended seven furlongs
Trained by Paul and Oliver Cole, the four-year-old won over course and distance last month, before heading to Bath, where he finished an unlucky second, having being forced to switch when hampered inside the final furlong, retaking the runner-up spot close home.

It was a case of deja vu at Chepstow six days ago, where he again found trouble in running, this time he was squeezed on the rail and not being able to recover, he finished fifth.
So long as Hector Crouch keeps him out of trouble, the selection should prove too strong for his ten rivals.
