Ian Williams would rather have been concentrating on his National Hunt string at this time of year but capitalised on the winter shutdown with a 98-1 double on the all-weather at Lingfield.

Paul Doe was suspended 10 days after Love Allowed (28-1) finished last in the Bet Multiples – Betdaq Median Auction Maiden Stakes at Lingfield.

Willie Muir experienced plenty of ’seconditis’ at this time last year but admitted after We Have A Dream’s gutsy triumph in Folkestone’s Bet Romania v France – Betdaq Handicap that the cards are falling in his favour this time around.
