THE THAMES BOATMAN (5.00, nap) can navigate his way to an overdue success in the Raceday-ready.com Handicap at Lingfield.

If there’s one horse in action today who deserves a win it’s Richard Hughes’ (below) five-year-old, who has been runner-up on his last four starts.

He ran his best race of the year last time at Chelmsford, where things didn’t go his way as a wayward rival forced him wide out of the stalls.
