Lingfield 1.15 A very tricky looking puzzle of a Grade contest with anyone of the 5 runners having some sort of chance , the market is a little on the tight side and as such I could not recommend any sort of bet
Thurles 1.35 I was on Allaho for the King George and having been gifted a guild edged opportunity at the final fence could not see it out , so at evens I am not going in again event though this is slightly weaker. Stable mate Appreciate It has the ability but is a tricky customer at the best of times. Envoi Allen is the other major player , but he is not what he once was. A race I am just going to watch
Lingfield 1.50 The King Of Prs is currently favourite , but while the chance is obvious for this Irish raider the price of 5’2 is hardly giving anything away. Saint Segal probably had the race at his mercy when departing at the final fence , that was hard to take especially having this time been raised in the weight for not completing. Of the others cases can be made but none really appeal . A no bet race
Lingfield 2.25 Nurse Susan looks the type to continue to progress after scoring at Cheltenham and 4lbs is far from harsh , the new trip does ask a question though. Gowel Road was reaching too high in a Grade 1 last time out and this is much easier , but he’s not really been in top form since a break. Bold Endeavour has not secrets but is sure to be on the premises. Not a race I want to bet in with any conviction
Lingfield 3.00 A race that is basically a match between L’Homme Presse & Protektorat I could not split them and we can move on
Lingfield 3.35 Regal Blue shaped similarly to the time before , almost certainly ahead of his mark if putting everything together but his jumping not without fault, which is the concern but he rallied well between last 2 &finished strongly & stepping up in trip looks ideal. Animal looks the solid option but is what he is and may be there is something better in here. Not Sure is another solid operator at this level.
