(8) Red Walls 6/5, Latest win at Southwell in December. Creditable second of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (6f) 8 days ago. Should go well again. Comes here in form and has run well at this venue; should make another bold bid.

10
10/1(+29%)
(5) Macho Mania 10/1, Maiden. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 49 days ago. That wait for a win is likely to go on. Prominent racer; 15-race maiden who isn't progressing; drawn wide and others look safer.

20
20/1(-67%)
(10) Savannah Smiles 20/1, C&D winner. Tenth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Wolverhampton (6f) in September. Off 103 days. C&D winner in June for former yard; has not matched it since but this race is weaker.

6.5
13/2(+35%)
(2) Balmy Breese 13/2, Modest form. Good fifth of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Wolverhampton (6f) 8 days ago. Can give a good account. Dropped to 6f the last twice and has made good late gains on each occasion; each-way shout.
5th

5th (4) (9/1 -100%) Hard Solution
9
9/1(-100%)
(4) Hard Solution 9/1, Latest win at Hamilton in June. Off 5 months, might have needed the run when sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 30 days ago. Enters calculations. Turf winner in June; sharper for last month's reappearance but is drawn widest.
6th

6th (3) (40/1 -150%) Doc Sportello
40
40/1(-150%)
(3) Doc Sportello 40/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap (80/1) at Wolverhampton (5f) 25 days ago, merely closing up late. Needs to leave his recent efforts behind. Veteran who wasn't at his best in a light 2023 campaign; others appeal more for the win.
7th
11
7th (11) (11/1 +67%) Vintage Fashion
11
11/1(+67%)
(11) Vintage Fashion 11/1, Poor mare. Blinkered first time, tenth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f, 50/1) 24 days ago. Ran okay over C&D on stable debut in November but less good twice since; others look safer.
8th
6
8th (6) (4/1 -100%) Monsieur Fantaisie
4
4/1(-100%)
(6) Monsieur Fantaisie 4/1, One win from 28 Flat runs. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 11/2, second of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 20 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. Latest Southwell second was a solid effort; looks a key player dropping into 0-50 company.
9th
9
9th (9) (50/1 -52%) Ricardo Ofworthing
50
50/1(-52%)
(9) Ricardo Ofworthing 50/1, Poor maiden. Last of 6 in novice at Kempton (7f) 71 days ago. More realistic chance in this company but others are still preferred. Modest maiden whose form last season leaves him with plenty to prove.
10th
7
10th (7) (33/1 -106%) Perfect Symphony
33
33/1(-106%)
(7) Perfect Symphony 33/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 8 in handicap over C&D 58 days ago. Conditions suit and he holds claims on last season's best; good apprentice booked.
11th
1
11th (1) (66/1 -313%) Apache Jewel
66
66/1(-313%)
(1) Apache Jewel 66/1, Remains a maiden after 24 starts. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Bath (1m, good, 40/1 in September). Off 110 days. Down in trip. Visor on first time. Exposed low-grade maiden; well beaten twice in 2023; visor now added.
LTO Selection:
11:45 Lingfield Stakes (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Monsieur Fantaisie hinted at a return to form with a close second at Southwell 20 days ago and is likely to be on the premises if he builds on that effort, while Hard Solution commands respect back in a race of this nature. However, RED WALLS has shown zest in his most recent starts and, having landed a handicap at Southwell on his penultimate outing, he is difficult to ignore at this level.
MONSIEUR FANTAISIE took a step back in the right direction when second at Southwell 3 weeks ago and might prove the answer to the first division of this classified event. Red Walls arrives in good nick and is second choice ahead of Ruth Carr's Hard Solution, who should be sharper for last month's comeback outing at Wolverhampton.
Monsieur Fantaisie and RED WALLS look the safest options with the latter marginally preferred.
(1) Alya's Gold Award 33/1, Unreliable individual. Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. 150/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 16 days ago. Exposed maiden who has issues at the start; easy enough to look elsewhere.
1
4
1st (4) (3/1 +25%) Coast
3
3/1(+25%)
(4) Coast 3/1, Modest mare. C&D winner. 12/1, respectable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 8 days ago. Should give another good account. C&D winner in August; several good runs at Wolverhampton since; firmly in the mix.
2
2
2nd (2) (3/1 +25%) Bear To Dream
3
3/1(+25%)
(2) Bear To Dream 3/1, Modest mare. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 31 days ago, not ideally placed. Can get involved if things drop right. Unplaced in all 11 AW starts but ran creditably latest; can't be discounted at this level.
3
6
3rd (6) (4/1 -78%) Jacquelina
4
4/1(-78%)
(6) Jacquelina 4/1, Modest mare. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 9/2) 17 days ago. Down in the weights and can capitalise if able to build on latest effort. Well backed at Wolverhampton latest (5f) and ran a sound race; effective at 6f; chance.
4
10
4th (10) (25/1 -56%) Penny Be
25
25/1(-56%)
(10) Penny Be 25/1, Modest filly. Eighth of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, good to firm, 16/1), slowly away. Off 136 days. Inconsistent but her best efforts give her claims and Billy Loughnane looks a good booking.
5th
11
5th (11) (7/2 +13%) Universal Grace
3.5
7/2(+13%)
(11) Universal Grace 7/2, Modest filly. Winner at Chelmsford City in September. 10/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, AW) 29 days ago. Should be thereabouts again. 5f winner on AW in September; looks ready for today's return to 6f; one to take seriously.
6th
9
6th (9) (40/1 -21%) Musaytir
40
40/1(-21%)
(9) Musaytir 40/1, C&D winner. One win from 37 Flat runs. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 150/1) 13 days ago. Not in much form of late but that was also the case when winning this race 12 months ago.
7th
5
7th (5) (40/1 -233%) Hey Ho Let's Go
40
40/1(-233%)
(5) Hey Ho Let's Go 40/1, 4-time course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 125/1, last of 8 in handicap at this course (5f, AW) 12 days ago. C&D winner; out of sorts in 2023 and comes here with too much to prove for comfort.
8th
3
8th (3) (11/1 +21%) Capallcliste
11
11/1(+21%)
(3) Capallcliste 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, fifth of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Off 143 days. Makes polytrack debut. Latest run (August) was a bit better but without suggesting he was a winner in waiting.
9th
7
9th (7) (40/1 -300%) Mark The Sparks
40
40/1(-300%)
(7) Mark The Sparks 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in maiden (250/1) at Southwell (5f) 20 days ago. Back up in trip. Something to prove. Down the field in three maidens (5f-7f); this is more suitable but improvement is required.
10th
8
10th (8) (12/1 +14%) Memberry
12
12/1(+14%)
(8) Memberry 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 8 in handicap at this course (7f, AW, 33/1). Off 10 months. Plenty to prove. Low mileage but now drops to 6f for first time and has something to prove after absence.
LTO Selection:
12:15 Lingfield Stakes (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Consistency isn't a strong point for most of these and only a speculative vote goes the way of UNIVERSAL GRACE, in the hope that she can build on last month's respectable third-placed finish in a 0-55-rated handicap here. Given this looks a weaker race, the Stuart Williams-trained filly may have been found a reasonable opportunity to finally double her career tally. Bear To Dream rates the biggest threat to the selection, with Coast and Jacquelina a couple of others to consider.
JACQUELINA has slipped in the weights and looked back in form when fourth at Wolverhampton last time, so she's worth taking a chance on. Bear To Dream and Coast look dangers.
Penny Be can go well with Billy Loughnane booked but UNIVERSAL GRACE may prove the answer now she's given another chance at 6f.
(8) All Agleam 13/2, Good placed efforts all 3 starts in handicaps, third of 12 over C&D latest. Likely to be in the shake-up again. Consistent filly who was third here last month on her first crack at 7f; in the mix again.
2
4
2nd (4) (3/1 +33%) Enpassant
3
3/1(+33%)
(4) Enpassant 3/1, 2/1 and hooded for first time, creditable third of 10 in nursery at Newcastle (7f) 26 days ago, running on. Expected to be bang there. Consistent and progressive since handicapping; should make another bold bid; hood now off.
3
3
3rd (3) (5/2 +62%) Morning Suit
2.5
5/2(+62%)
(3) Morning Suit 5/2, Thrice-raced winner. Winner of 6f maiden here in November. 12/1, third of 12 in nursery at Newcastle (6f) 19 days ago. Could have more to offer. 6f winner here in November; solid 3rd on nursery debut latest; 7f could spark more.
4
1
4th (1) (12/1 -167%) The Ferret
12
12/1(-167%)
(1) The Ferret 12/1, One win from 3 runs last year. 15/2, won 9-runner novice at this course (1m) 15 days ago. Opening mark not obviously generous but he is unexposed. Big step forward when winning over 1m here two weeks ago; opening mark demands more of him.
5th
2
5th (2) (66/1 -230%) Falling For You
66
66/1(-230%)
(2) Falling For You 66/1, Winner at Windsor in September. Creditable third in 7f Wolverhampton nursery in November but disappointing here since. Blinkered first time. Chance on best efforts but she's been well beaten in 2 of her last 3 starts; blinkered now.
6th
7
6th (7) (5/2 +29%) Novation
2.5
5/2(+29%)
(7) Novation 5/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 8 in novice at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm, 5/2) when last seen in June. Steps up in trip for handicap debut after 7 months off. Good stable won this race last year. One to keep a close eye on in the betting. Didn't live up to market billing in 5f runs last summer; gelded since; potential improver.
7th
6
7th (6) (11/1 -57%) Stratocracy
11
11/1(-57%)
(6) Stratocracy 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fourth of 10 in nursery (3/1) at Kempton (7f) 64 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Showed promise for R Hannon, including over 7f on h'cap debut; 1m may suit better in time.
8th
5
8th (5) (28/1 -211%) Bits And Bobs
28
28/1(-211%)
(5) Bits And Bobs 28/1, Last of 7 in nursery at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 40/1), very slowly away. Off 103 days. Back down in trip. Slipping down the weights but hopes rest on a gelding operation having a positive effect.
LTO Selection:
12:45 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ALL AGLEAM heads the shortlist based on her previous reliability and, having been well supported in the betting when a close-up third over this course and distance last time, she is worth chancing from just 1lb higher now she has proven this trip is within her capacity. Enpassant has been equally consistent and rates the biggest threat to the selection, while The Ferret, a winner over 1m here last month, is also respected on his handicap debut.
ENPASSANT has been knocking on the door since switching to handicaps and can deservedly get his head in front. All Agleam has a similar profile to the selection and should be bang there again. Morning Suit is another who should have a part to play, while Novation is a handicap newcomer to keep a close eye on in the betting.
This looks competitive but NOVATION could leave his 2yo efforts behind him now that he is upped to 7f.
(8) Desert Raider 7/2, Winner at Chelmsford (7f) in September. 11/8, respectable fourth of 9 in nursery back there (7f again) 14 days ago. First-time cheekpieces replace visor. One to consider. Chelmsford winner in September (7f); not so good latest; new trip and headgear today.
2
7
2nd (7) (10/3 +26%) Montecristo Gold
3.333333
10/3(+26%)
(7) Montecristo Gold 10/3, Winner over 1m at Chelmsford in November. Eleventh of 14 in nursery at Kempton (1m) since. Bounce back needed. Fluffed his lines at Kempton last time but he'd been on the up beforehand; could revive.
3
9
3rd (9) (12/1 +52%) Muy Barato
12
12/1(+52%)
(9) Muy Barato 12/1, Unreliable sort (refused to race second start). Seventh of 8 in maiden (250/1) over this C&D 60 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Risky. Modest form last year (refused to race once); has to prove he's worth this opening mark.
4
2
4th (2) (5/2 +50%) Chapman
2.5
5/2(+50%)
(2) Chapman 5/2, Creditable fifth of 11 in nursery (6/1) at this course (6f) 22 days ago, worst of draw. Significantly up in trip. Hood back on. Merits consideration. 3 good nursery runs over 6f; needs more for the step up in trip to break his duck though.
5th
1
5th (1) (9/2 +10%) Ventura Empress
4.5
9/2(+10%)
(1) Ventura Empress 9/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in maiden at Chepstow (6f, good to soft, 10/3) in July. Off 160 days. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Pick of her three runs came at this track; could kick on now handicapping.
6th
5
6th (5) (12/1 +14%) Manos Arriba
12
12/1(+14%)
(5) Manos Arriba 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 8/1 and visored first time, seventh of 8 in nursery at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 13 days ago, slowly away. Visor off, first-time cheekpieces on. Others more persuasive. Two nursery runs underwhelming but there was promise from him in maidens; new headgear now.
7th
6
7th (6) (20/1 -67%) Nasneen
20
20/1(-67%)
(6) Nasneen 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 7 in nursery at Newcastle (5f, 16/1) 63 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. First run for yard after leaving Paul & Oliver Cole. Worth a betting check. Didn't progress as 2yo but new yard is quick to step her up in trip; still has potential.
8th
4
8th (4) (18/1 -125%) Invincible Siam
18
18/1(-125%)
(4) Invincible Siam 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on first time, eleventh of 12 in nursery (5/1) at Newcastle (6f) 58 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces also added. Headgear added now she steps up in trip; could yet take a step forward.
9th
10
9th (10) (100/1 -203%) Orange Rosetta
100
100/1(-203%)
(10) Orange Rosetta 100/1, Well held in 3 qualifying runs. More chance now handicapping at a basement level but others are still readily preferred. Possible improver now handicapping but her 2yo runs leave her with plenty to prove.
LTO Selection:
13:15 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
LASER SHARP finished midfield on each of his three efforts in maidens, including when sent off at big odds for the latest of those displays when fifth over 7f at Wolverhampton. The son of Lightning Spear has undergone a wind operation since and looks to be the type who may have been saved for the handicapping ranks, so he might be the one to be with. The main danger might be Desert Raider, who didn't run as well as expected when fourth in his bid for a 7f double at Chelmsford last time but the step up to a mile and first-time cheekpieces could spark some improvement. Ventura Empress completes the shortlist.
It might be worth taking a chance on the stamina of CHAPMAN as he has been performing creditably since switching to handicaps. Desert Raider is an obvious danger for the Charlie Johnston stable, while Laser Sharp and Ventura Empress are possible improvers in handicaps.
It may be worth chancing NASNEEN on her stable debut with the step up in trip likely to suit.
(7) Maysan 6/1, 12/1, third of 5 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 19 days ago. Not quite firing at present. Not certain to settle well enough to see out this new trip; tends to take good hold.
2
6
2nd (6) (10/1 +17%) Photon
10
10/1(+17%)
(6) Photon 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Kempton (8f). Off 108 days. Something to find on form. Well held in both handicap attempts but a gelding operation may prompt improvement.
3
4
3rd (4) (6/1 +40%) Epsom Faithfull
6
6/1(+40%)
(4) Epsom Faithfull 6/1, Course winner. 12/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good). Off 111 days. Not in top form lately. Inconsistent in 2023 and has something to prove over this new trip on reappearance.
4
9
4th (9) (15/2 -67%) Hul Ah Bah Loo
7.5
15/2(-67%)
(9) Hul Ah Bah Loo 15/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 9/2, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 47 days ago, not ideally placed. Capable of making his presence felt. Suited by this venue; ties in with Intricate Pillar and Covert Mission on form.
5th
1
5th (1) (16/1 -60%) Smart Deal
16
16/1(-60%)
(1) Smart Deal 16/1, Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Winner at Chelmsford City in November. 7/1, last of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 20 days ago. Not one to write off. Opened his account in Chelmsford seller; finished last in Southwell handicap since.
6th
2
6th (2) (10/3 +52%) Fox Power
3.333333
10/3(+52%)
(2) Fox Power 10/3, 22/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, soft) 80 days ago. Rejoined yard after leaving David Simcock. Has won off a break before and well worthy of a market check. Interesting off a very handy mark on first run since rejoining these connections.
7th
8
7th (8) (7/1 -8%) Covert Mission
7
7/1(-8%)
(8) Covert Mission 7/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 9/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f). Off 133 days. Could bounce back after a break and dangerous if allowed his own way in front. 2-4 over this C&D and returns here off a very workable mark; one to consider.
8th
10
8th (10) (11/1 -100%) Intricate Pillar
11
11/1(-100%)
(10) Intricate Pillar 11/1, 15/2, bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 29 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Cheekpieces on 1st time. May get back on track if the headgear has a positive effect. Best efforts last year when runner-up twice in the autumn; cheekpieces added.
9th
3
9th (3) (9/2 +25%) King Of Scotia
4.5
9/2(+25%)
(3) King Of Scotia 9/2, 11/2 and blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 20 days ago. May get back on track with headgear discarded. Has some encouraging form for current yard; best to forgive latest effort; reduced mark.
LTO Selection:
13:45 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MAYSAN wasn't disgraced in third when competing in a class 3 event over 7f at Wolverhampton last time and the handicapper may have been kind to drop her 2lb for that performance. The daughter of Siyouni could improve for the step up in distance and capitalise on this drop in grade. Fox Power looks like an interesting recruit to the Michael Appleby stable and it would be no surprise to see him get involved, while Lady Lavina outran her huge odds over 7f here on her latest outing and is another to note off a 2lb lower mark.
FOX POWER has dropped to a lenient mark and is worth a chance to bounce back to form having rejoined his former stable since last seen at Yarmouth 80 days ago. The in-form Hul Ah Bah Loo should be involved if he gets the breaks and Intricate Pillar can't be dismissed.
Off a handy back back on AW, FOX POWER looks particularly interesting. King Of Scotia is second choice.
(5) Shalfa 11/2, Latest win at Brighton in September. 9/2, respectable 5 lengths fifth of 12 to Pink Lily in handicap at this C&D (AW) 22 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Remains in top form and should get involved if getting a clearer passage than last time. Met trouble in running behind Pink Lily here last time; change of headgear this afternoon.
2
6
2nd (6) (11/2 -57%) Pink Lily
5.5
11/2(-57%)
(6) Pink Lily 11/2, Three wins from 9 runs last year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D (AW, 11/1) 22 days ago, running on. Expected to be bang there. Two C&D wins last year, the latest in determined fashion 3 weeks ago; contender up 2lb.
3
8
3rd (8) (3/1 +40%) Fast Affair
3
3/1(+40%)
(8) Fast Affair 3/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in October. 15/8, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 59 days ago. Likely to be thereabouts. Wolverhampton winner in October; similar form next time but she'll need more to take this.
4
3
4th (3) (4/1 +43%) Clipsham Gold
4
4/1(+43%)
(3) Clipsham Gold 4/1, Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 12/1) 7 days ago. Back up in trip. Proving consistent but others look better treated. Comes here in form but the widest stall won't make life easy today.
5th
11
5th (11) (10/1 -25%) Crazy Maisie
10
10/1(-25%)
(11) Crazy Maisie 10/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. 5/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 30 days ago. Not discounted. Caught wide when creditable fifth over C&D last month; likely vulnerable in Class 5.
6th
9
6th (9) (20/1 +0%) Moralisa
20
20/1(+0%)
(9) Moralisa 20/1, 16/1, first run since leaving Ismail Mohammed when bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, AW) 22 days ago. Up in trip. Tough to assess at present. 0-9; can leave recent stable debut behind in time but stamina for 1m2f is the query today.
7th
4
7th (4) (33/1 -65%) Lady Valentine
33
33/1(-65%)
(4) Lady Valentine 33/1, 40/1, first run since leaving Jamie Snowden when last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 48 days ago. Down in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code. 40-1 when well beaten on stable debut seven weeks ago; this test looks on the sharp side.
8th
1
8th (1) (14/1 -75%) Devore
14
14/1(-75%)
(1) Devore 14/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap at Down Royal (10.3f, good to soft, 11/2). Off 160 days. Makes polytrack debut. First run for yard after leaving John Patrick Murtagh. Worth monitoring in the betting. Not at her best in 2023 but starts out for a new yard off a reduced mark as a consequence.
9th
7
9th (7) (5/1 +0%) Dalrymple
5
5/1(+0%)
(7) Dalrymple 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Ed Dunlop when excellent fifth of 13 in handicap (80/1) at Kempton (8f) 29 days ago. Open to further improvement now upped in trip, so looks a big player. Encouraging stable debut last month; 1m2f should suit and she's capable of better.
LTO Selection:
14:15 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
PINK LILY had Shalfa (fifth) behind when scoring by a length over C&D on her latest outing and she was only put up 2lb for that success. The daughter of Sixties Icon is well drawn in stall one and has lots in her favour, so she is taken to complete a double. That said, the latter could get closer with a clearer run and with the application of a first-time visor, while Fast Affair is in solid form and could also get involved.
DALRYMPLE shaped with plenty of encouragement at a big price on her first outing for this stable and, with more to come upped in trip, she's preferred to the more exposed Pink Lily, who scored again over C&D 22 days ago. Shalfa is also considered.
Pink Lily is solid after a recent C&D win but DALRYMPLE is bred to relish this trip and her stable/handicap debut was encouraging.
(3) Lavender Hill Mob 10/11, Promising sort. Improved when fifth of 11 at this C&D (12/1) 70 days ago, still green and late headway. Can do even better and this is a thin novice. Good late headway over C&D when last seen ten weeks ago; more to come this year; contender.

2nd (2) (5/4 -71%) See That Storm
1.25
5/4(-71%)
(2) See That Storm 5/4, Gambled-on 11/10, won 11-runner maiden at this C&D on debut 30 days ago, always holding on. That form probably doesn't amount to much but he's open to improvement and good chance he can make it 2-2. C&D win on debut last month, green when asked for his effort; more to come; big chance.

3rd (6) (18/1 -50%) Thorntonledale Max
18
18/1(-50%)
(6) Thorntonledale Max 18/1, Cityscape gelding. Brother to useful 1m/9f winner City of York and half-brother to 5f winner Dalby Forest. Dam winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f winner). From good family for connections and starts out in a winnable contest. Bred to have a future, especially on AW, and worth a market check in a race lacking depth.

4th (8) (28/1 -75%) Sense Of Charm
28
28/1(-75%)
(8) Sense Of Charm 28/1, 22/1, eleventh of 13 at Kempton (8f) on debut 22 days ago, little fluency and always behind. 22-1 and well beaten on last month's debut (1m, AW); bred to do better at some point.

5th (1) (50/1 +0%) Calshot Spit
50
50/1(+0%)
(1) Calshot Spit 50/1, Well beaten in bumper/AW novices. Well held in a bumper and two AW novices in late 2023; makes no appeal.
6th

6th (4) (33/1 -136%) Mr Influence
33
33/1(-136%)
(4) Mr Influence 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in maiden (125/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 17 days ago, hampered. Probably one for handicaps. Down the field in two AW runs last month; handicaps should provide easier pickings.
7th

7th (7) (25/1 -56%) Bint Havana Gold
25
25/1(-56%)
(7) Bint Havana Gold 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. Off 6 months. Significantly up in trip. Has hinted at ability and she could do better in handicaps when the time comes. Modest form in two sprint races in the first half of 2023; new trip needs to prompt extra.
8th
5
8th (5) (18/1 +28%) Escape The Grape
18
18/1(+28%)
(5) Escape The Grape 18/1, 66/1, sixth of 7 at Salisbury (8f, good to firm) on debut, very green. Off 111 days. 66-1, green and finished tailed off on his debut in September; not easily recommended.
LTO Selection:
14:45 Lingfield Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SEE THAT STORM justified strong support in the betting market when making a winning debut over C&D last month. Andrew Balding's charge likely has more to offer and, with that experience under his belt, he's fancied to maintain his unbeaten record by landing this contest. Lavender Hill Mob offered more encouragement with a fifth-placed finish over this track and trip in October and he is feared most, ahead of Bint Havana Gold.
Not a strong novice and SEE THAT STORM has a good chance to make it 2-2 if he can build on the form he showed when scoring here on debut. There is more to come from Lavender Hill Mob and he's feared, while Thorntonledale Max could go well first time up.
Lavender Hill Mob can do better this year but SEE THAT STORM is preferred despite the steadier of his 7lb penalty.
(6) Upepo 3/1, C&D winner under Rossa Ryan in October. Shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 12 in handicap at Southwell 28 days ago. Shortlist material. C&D winner on debut for new stable; outstayed over 1m6f since; still of interest.

2nd (2) (7/2 +0%) Placated
3.5
7/2(+0%)
(2) Placated 7/2, C&D winner. 10/3, good second of 9 over C&D 22 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up again. C&D winner in 2022; close second returned to this venue last month; strong contender.

3rd (3) (5/1 +0%) Alghazaal

5/1(+0%)
(3) Alghazaal 5/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. 5/1, good second of 11 over C&D 22 days ago. Enters calculations. Placed in three of his last four races, latest over C&D behind a subsequent scorer.

4th (5) (17/2 -21%) Dame Sarra
8.5
17/2(-21%)
(5) Dame Sarra 17/2, Latest win at Chelmsford in November but needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Wolverhampton since. Form dipped last time; otherwise largely progressive since wearing blinkers.
5th

5th (4) (11/4 -10%) Mr Trick
2.75
11/4(-10%)
(4) Mr Trick 11/4, Latest win at Chelmsford in December. 5/2, creditable fourth of 12 over C&D 12 days ago, left poorly placed. Merits consideration. In great form last month; still unexposed over middle distances; warrants respect.
6th

6th (9) (50/1 -213%) Laurentia
50
50/1(-213%)
(9) Laurentia 50/1, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 11 over C&D 22 days ago, left poorly placed. Something to find on form. Held by Alghazaal on C&D running last month; all wins at shorter.
7th

7th (8) (33/1 -32%) Star For A Day
33
33/1(-32%)
(8) Star For A Day 33/1, Maiden. 16/1, never a threat when tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (1¼m) 15 days ago, Form dipped the last twice, taking record to 0-11; stamina to prove.
8th

8th (1) (9/1 +44%) Alibaba
9
9/1(+44%)
(1) Alibaba 9/1, 40/1, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford (1¼m) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Has possibilities if proving suited by combination of new trip and first-time headgear.
9th
7
9th (7) (80/1 -220%) Biscoff Joe
80
80/1(-220%)
(7) Biscoff Joe 80/1, Modest maiden on Flat. Poor form in juvenile hurdles for this stable lately. Others are preferred. Maiden on Flat and over hurdles; ran dismally in both handicap attempts.
LTO Selection:
15:15 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
MR TRICK found himself with too much to do when a never-nearer fourth over C&D on his most recent outing and compensation could await today, racing off the same mark. Placated is only 1lb higher than for her close-up second at this venue last month and the six-year-old should give another good account of herself. Upepo and Alghazaal also arrive in good form and they are unlikely to be far away either.
UPEPO wasn't seen to best effect at Southwell and can resume winning ways now reunited with Rossa Ryan and back at the scene of his win in October. Mr Trick has had a good spell lately and is feared most ahead of last-time-out C&D seconds Placated and Alghazaal.
On the back of a good second here last month, PLACATED may well go one better. Mr Trick is second choice.
(4) Capstan 4/1, Visored for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 9/1) 29 days ago. Should settle better with headgear discarded, so not without hope. Overall record isn't particularly solid and he remains a maiden.
2
2
2nd (2) (9/4 +25%) Louisiana Bay
2.25
9/4(+25%)
(2) Louisiana Bay 9/4, Good second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 9/2) 30 days ago, running on. Arrives in form and is likely to be thereabouts again. Six-race maiden who is showing steady progress; close second upped to 1m4f most recently.
3
1
3rd (1) (5/1 -25%) Curtiz
5
5/1(-25%)
(1) Curtiz 5/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Creditable second of 12 in handicap (5/1) at this course (10f, AW) 22 days ago. One to have in mind from reduced mark. Finished second over 1m2f here last time; thereabouts provided he stays this longer trip.
4
6
4th (6) (3/1 -9%) The Conqueror
3
3/1(-9%)
(6) The Conqueror 3/1, 3/1, improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 12 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. Remains well treated on old form and worth a chance to follow up. C&D winner 12 days ago, opening his British account; unexposed at 1m4f; warrants respect.
5th
5
5th (5) (8/1 +20%) Stopnsearch
8
8/1(+20%)
(5) Stopnsearch 8/1, Course winner. Twenty three runs since last win in 2021. Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (10f, AW, 9/1) 30 days ago. On a long losing sequence and isn't crying out for this step back up in distance.
6th
3
6th (3) (11/1 -120%) Pysanka
11
11/1(-120%)
(3) Pysanka 11/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in October. Good second of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 13/2) 17 days ago. Worthy of consideration. Likely player provided he transfers 1m4f Wolverhampton form back to Lingfield.
7th
8
7th (8) (80/1 -220%) Savoy Brown
80
80/1(-220%)
(8) Savoy Brown 80/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 33/1) 22 days ago. Others make more appeal. Won classified event here last March; poor form in handicaps since.
8th
7
8th (7) (50/1 -525%) Stormingin
50
50/1(-525%)
(7) Stormingin 50/1, Ungenuine type. 12/1 and visored for 1st time, bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 24 days ago. Veteran who is 6lb below last winning mark but takes on some unexposed types.
9th
9
9th (9) (80/1 -220%) Gosmore
80
80/1(-220%)
(9) Gosmore 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at this course (10f, AW), met some trouble. Off 91 days. First run for yard after leaving Henry Candy. Must improve. 0-5 for Henry Candy; sold for 2,000gns since last run; needs to improve.
LTO Selection:
15:48 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
THE CONQUEROR appeared to relish a return to this distance when scoring with a bit in hand at this venue last time out. A 3lb rise looks more than fair for Jim Boyle's gelding and a double could be in the offing. Louisiana Bay is unexposed over this trip and she arrives in good heart, having finished a half-length second at Wolverhampton last month. The five-year-old may give the selection most to think about, although Curtiz and Pysanka could also make their presence felt.
THE CONQUEROR didn't go up much despite scoring with a bit to spare over C&D last time and he's still thrown in on past efforts, so he's fancied to go in again. The well-treated Curtiz looks a threat and Louisiana Bay is worthy of respect.
Steadily improving maiden LOUISIANA BAY (nap) is taken to open her account. Recent C&D scorer The Conqueror is feared most.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
