Crimson Tide can outclass his rivals in today's Lynhurst Press Conditions Stakes at Lingfield. John Hills' charge has some very useful form to his name including victories in Pattern company in Italy and at Epsom.

However, the six-year-old missed all of last year through injury and has yet to really recapture his sparkle this campaign.

However, the son of Sadler's Wells ran his best race for some time when runner-up to the classy Compton Bolter in a Listed event over this 10 furlongs three weeks ago. Although beaten five lengths by the winner he was clear second best and has much less to do here.

Redoubtable may not quite be the force he once was either but the nine-year-old can show he is no back number by winning division one of the Ladbroke All-Weather Trophy Handicap Qualifier.

His latest run can be ignored as he found eight and a half furlongs just beyond him when 11 lengths third to Hail The Chief at Wolverhampton. Division two of the contest can fall to the Willie Mussontrained Bintang Timor.

A useful if slightly unpredictable type, he seemed fazed by the new surface when making his all-weather debut at Southwell on his penultimate start.

However, he seemed much more like his old self when running over a mile here on his last start, finishing a length and a quarter second to Reachforyourpocket. This seven furlongs should suit him better and he looks well worth an interest.

It might also be worth taking a risk on Smarty making a winning return to action in the Holly Handicap Chase at the day's other meeting at Leicester.
