TRACEY Collins spotted an excellent opportunity for in-form Captain Joy last Saturday and the grey duly obliged in a fast track qualifier for the Ladbrokes Mile at Lingfield.

Ridden by Pat Smullen, the 9/4 favourite tracked outsider Bravo Echo and took it up before the furlong pole, running on well to beat Alfred Hutchinson by just over a length with classy French challenger Dastarhon well held in third.
