Turf Talk - Megallan can defy penalty to land Newmarket’s ansionBet Bet £10 Get £20 British EBF Novice Stakes

Owned by Anthony Oppenheimer, who rarely seems to have a bad horse these days, the John Gosden-trained Kingman colt made a striking impression earlier this month on his first racecourse appearance.

Despite racing keenly enough in the early stages, he came with a sweeping run down the centre of the track to win going away by almost four lengths.

Given how Gosden operates, he was unlikely to have been fully tuned up for his debut and this Derby entrant - whose dam is a half-sister to Oppenheimer’s Golden Horn - can remain unbeaten.

Live In The Moment is a sprinter on the up and can go in again in the MansionBet Watch And Bet Handicap.

The three-year-old is doing his best to put trainer Adam West on the map with two wins at York.

The handicapper has had a good go at stopping him, but a useful claiming jockey in Joseph Lyons will help ease the burden.

Nicky Henderson’s Overpriced Mixer is likely to have plenty of supporters in the MansionBet Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap on his first run for the yard having previously been with Jamie Osborne.

A 90,000 guineas purchase last autumn, he won two of his five starts for previous connections and a mark of 78 certainly gives his new team something to work with.

Lone Eagle is the pick in the British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes at Goodwood.

He demonstrated abundant promise on his first racecourse outing earlier this month, working his way into the race before only just failing to run down the all-the-way winner by a head at the line.

Lone Eagle still looked to have plenty to learn and Martyn Meade surely has high hopes going forward.

Lady Lynetta can confirm the favourable impression she made when winning at Haydock by doubling up in the Ladbrokes Get Your Daily Odds Boost Fillies’ Handicap.

She had to be pretty game as it looked as though the eventual second, Amber Storm, might have stolen a decisive advantage, but she saw out the mile well to win by a cosy length and a quarter.

Lady Lynetta won off a mark of 79 that day and lines up on 86 here, but she is still technically 3lb well in after her rating was again revised following Amber Storm’s win at York last week.

Theocrat has been sent off a huge odds for all three of his runs to date but he has not been disgraced in any of them and Nigel Hawke’s charge could get involved in the Ladbrokes Watch Racing Online For Free Handicap.

Flying Pursuit looks thrown in on his best form ahead of the Patersons Of Greenoakhill Handicap at Hamilton.

There have been signs in his last two races that his turn might not be far away and he will need to be winning soon to make sure he gets into the Ayr Gold Cup.
