MARK Johnston's powerful Middleham string looks set to snap into action and SOAPY DANGER can clean up in Doncaster's Shield Conditions Stakes at 3.35.

As a three-year-old, the Danzig colt won at Group 3 and Group 2 level, and though he disappointed slightly last year after an injury setback, he has been persevered with by the stable and does not look over-tried here.

Diamond Tycoon will be all the rage for Kempton's Mangolia Stakesa at 3.45pm but Michael Bell's SPICE ROUTE looked a progressive sort when running behind Lucarno in the Great Voltigeur at York.

The likelihood is that he has improved during the close season and although Diamond Tycoon has the beating of him through Lucarno, but the selection has more experience and can show he is a fast improver.

WATAMU was touted as a live hope for the Lincoln, but missed last week's race and can gain compensation in Kempton's Intercasino Co. Uk. Rosebery Heritage Handicpa.

Classy jockey Seb Sanders gets the ride on Peter Makin's seven-year-old, who was a very useful handicapper on turf but has been sidelined with injury and has dropped in the ratings.

Early-season specialist Richard Fahey has a nicely-treated sort in GREEN PARK, who will love the softer ground in Doncaster's 4.10pm sprint and is one for the each-way punters.

Kevin Burke's horses are at concert pitch and SMYBIOSIS looks worth siding with at a decent price in Newbury's 2.55pm race, the Mares Only Novices Handicap Final.
