Back El Bravo for victory.

Byline: By ARGUS 

EL BRAVO has slowly improved as he has stepped up in trip and he appears to have been found a winnable opportunity in the Rudridge Maiden Stakes at Lingfield.

The son of Falbrav showed little on his debut over seven furlongs at this venue back in January but demonstrated marked improvement to finish fourth over a mile and a quarter next time.

He showed this mile and a half was well within his compass when beaten just a length into second by Rupestrian on his latest outing and he will not have to improve a great deal more to take this event.

Mr Willis won with plenty up his sleeve on his latest visit to Lingfield and he looks difficult to oppose on his return to the track for the tagworldwide.com Handicap.

Having hinted at ability in three maidens, the three-year-old was well fancied for his handicap debut but was given too much to do and flashed home to finish a close-up fifth.

It was a performance which had clearly not gone unnoticed by punters as he was sent off a redhot 11-10 favourite for his next start and ridden closer to the pace, he duly bolted home by a very cosy length and a half.

A 6lb hike in the weights seems fair enough and it would be no surprise at all to see him run up a sequence in races at this level.

Keep Ringing signalled her turn was near when third at Lingfield last week and is the one to be on in the Kempton For Conferences Maiden Fillies' Stakes.

The Willie Haggas inmate was not beaten far into fifth on her debut last month and stayed on strongly to go down by just a length when third over seven furlongs last time.

She seems certain to improve again for this step up to a mile and has the look of a good thing.

Good Buy Dubai seems to be getting the hang of the game now and has a good chance of getting his head in front for the first time in the Day Time, Night Time, Great Time Handicap.
