13:15 Lingfield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 23f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (2/9 +58%) Pierrot Jaguen	0.222222 2/9(+58%)	(4) Pierrot Jaguen 2/9, Point winner who fetched plenty both times he's gone through the ring (£200,000 latest) and shaped with plenty of promise when third in 2m4f maiden hurdle at Cheltenham on New Year's Day, travelling well for a long way. Sure to improve and fancied to take all the beating. £200,000 buy and his third at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) is the best form in this; Gr1 entry.
2	1 2nd (1) (100/1 -203%) Better Off Alone	100 100/1(-203%)	(1) Better Off Alone 100/1, €13,000 3-y-o, Ocovango gelding. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points and given a considerate introduction to hurdling at Worcester in October. Well beaten in the face of a stiff task at Cheltenham the following month. Beaten 40l at Worcester (2m4f, soft) and remote at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) next time.
3	6 3rd (6) (13/2 -18%) Taita Hills	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(6) Taita Hills 13/2, £35,000 purchase after getting off the mark in Irish points at the third time of asking and showed more than first time up over hurdles upped in trip when second in 12-runner novice at this course (19.5f) last month. The still longer trip promises to suit and probably hasn't shown all he can. Near-10l second here (extended 2m3f, soft) last month, with encouragement for longer trips.
4	5 4th (5) (6/1 +25%) Seatoit	6 6/1(+25%)	(5) Seatoit 6/1, Fair form in bumpers/maiden hurdles, running to a similar level as on hurdling debut when fourth in 10-runner maiden at Uttoxeter (23f, heavy) last month. Significant ability on good to soft in his two maiden hurdles, 2m7f at Uttoxeter last time.
5th	7 5th (7) (16/1 -220%) Just A Memory	16 16/1(-220%)	(7) Just A Memory 16/1, Fitter for a run and showed more than first time up over hurdles upped markedly in trip when splitting a fairly useful pair at Southwell (3m) at the beginning of the month. May do better still. Clear best effort when second of six in novice hurdle at Southwell (3m, soft) last time.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (66/1 -230%) By George	66 66/1(-230%)	(2) By George 66/1, Order of St George gelding. Well held only start in points and shaped like a stayer when third in 6-runner bumper at Fontwell on Rules debut last month, plugging on. Longer trip an obvious plus on this switch to hurdling but needs plenty of improvement all the same. Well beaten in his sole point and modest form in a Fontwell bumper.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (200/1 -100%) Diagon Alley	200 200/1(-100%)	(3) Diagon Alley 200/1, Runner-up sole outing in Irish points but has made no impact in bumper/maiden hurdles (tongue tied last time). His three runs under rules have left a lot to be desired; blinkers go on.

13:15 Lingfield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from PIERROT JAGUEN's third-placed Rules bow over an extended 2m4f at Cheltenham on New Year's Day and a breakthrough victory looms. Olly Murphy's gelding had little difficulty in scoring over 3m between the flags and he is hard to oppose. The biggest threat may emerge from Just A Memory, who arrives on the back of a respectable second at Southwell. Taita Hills and Seatoit are others to note.

PIERROT JAGUEN made a most promising start under Rules when third at Cheltenham on New Year's Day and will surely take all the beating with improvement on the cards. Taita Hills, Just A Memory and Seatoit can battle it out for minor honours.

Following a promising debut under rules at Cheltenham, PIERROT JAGUEN looks to have a good opportunity. Just A Memory is next best.

1	3 1st (3) (11/2 +39%) Havaila	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(3) Havaila 11/2, Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. 15/2 and visored for 1st time, creditable third of 5 in handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f, heavy) 30 days ago. Back up in trip and in the mix. No impact in his three chases (one C&D) but he's been dropped 9lb as a result.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/2 +67%) Fortunefavorsdbold	2.5 5/2(+67%)	(5) Fortunefavorsdbold 5/2, C&D winner who posted a solid third of 7 in handicap chase (22/1) at Chepstow (26.2f, heavy) 26 days ago. Needs considering. Well treated judged on her Huntingdon and C&D wins in the mud last February/March.
3	8 3rd (8) (40/1 -150%) Racing Snake	40 40/1(-150%)	(8) Racing Snake 40/1, Points winner but lightly-raced maiden under Rules and pulled up in handicap chase at Leicester (22.7f, soft, 11/1) 34 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. No solid form under rules; 756 days off before latest outing; tries headgear first time.
4	2 4th (2) (6/1 +25%) Good Friday Fairy	6 6/1(+25%)	(2) Good Friday Fairy 6/1, Ridden more patiently than usual when a good second of 10 in handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f, heavy) 30 days ago. Holds solid claims off an unchanged mark. 12l second of ten at Exeter (first 3m form, soft) on latest outing, coming from last.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (4/1 -60%) Haut Folin	4 4/1(-60%)	(1) Haut Folin 4/1, Has made a very positive start to present campaign, runner-up over C&D and in 3m1f handicap chase at Ffos Las when hindered by a blunder 3 out. Big shout. Just 1-14 in Britain, the win first time out last term; 2nd both starts this term, though.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (5/2 -33%) Always Busy	2.5 5/2(-33%)	(4) Always Busy 5/2, 2/1, career best when easily winning 10-runner handicap chase at Warwick (25.4f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Likely player under a 7 lb penalty. Two 2nds before 10l win at Warwick (3m1f, good to soft) 11 days ago; well in with penalty.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (10/1 +44%) Imperial Hurricane	10 10/1(+44%)	(7) Imperial Hurricane 10/1, Off 21 months before coming in only tenth of 11 in handicap chase at this C&D (soft) 53 days ago. Needs to take a major step forward. No serious impact in a bumper, five hurdle races or two chases; 627 days off before latest.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (22/1 +33%) Mister Murchan	22 22/1(+33%)	(6) Mister Murchan 22/1, Seventeen runs since his last win in 2021 and pulled up in handicap chase at Fontwell (21.6f, soft, 50/1) 52 days ago, behind from early final circuit. Hard to warm to. 2-21 over fences, latest win January 2021; twice a runner-up on heavy ground last March.

13:45 Lingfield Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Having filled the runner-up spot both here and at Ffos Las last month, Haut Folin should give another good account. However, a 5lb rise may be enough to prevent him from landing the spoils and recent Warwick winner ALWAYS BUSY gets the vote. Christian Williams' inmate scored with plenty in hand 11 days ago and looks capable of defying a 7lb penalty. Good Friday Fairy is another to note.

HAUT FOLIN was well clear of the rest when runner-up at Ffos Las last time out and can gain a deserved first victory of the season here, at the chief expense of Good Friday Fairy who also shaped well when second at Exeter recently and is a big threat to Venetia Williams' top-weight. Recent Warwick scorer Always Busy is another who can have a say in a competitive handicap.

Standout claims belong to ALWAYS BUSY thanks to his impressive win at Warwick 11 days ago, for which he is given a 7lb penalty today.

14:15 Lingfield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (4/5 +73%) Disco Davis	0.8 4/5(+73%)	(3) Disco Davis 4/5, Looked the likeliest winner on first 2 starts over hurdles, going best when falling at the last at Uttoxeter (19.9f) in October. Completed for the first time when fifth of 13 in an Exeter novice (16.7f, heavy) last time and remains capable of better. Fell late on twice; Exeter fifth is the best form but he faces some with potential.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/3 -142%) Drayton Flyer	3.333333 10/3(-142%)	(4) Drayton Flyer 10/3, Good sort physically who shaped with plenty of encouragement when finding only another promising newcomer from the same stable too good in a Wetherby bumper (2m) on Rules debut over the Christmas period. Interesting hurdling debutant. 8-1, stayed on encouragingly for 2nd of 12 in Wetherby bumper (good to soft) at Christmas.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 +20%) Blue Bellamy	4 4/1(+20%)	(2) Blue Bellamy 4/1, Placed 3 times from 4 completed starts in points and fair form when placed all 3 outings in bumpers. Could go well on hurdling debut. Placed in three of his points and minor honours in three bumpers (two on soft); in the mix.
4	7 4th (7) (80/1 -21%) Passing Pleasure	80 80/1(-21%)	(7) Passing Pleasure 80/1, Runner-up on last of 3 starts in Irish points in April but little promise in 2 runs over hurdles. Tailed off from early stage when 80-1 at Newbury (2m, soft) last time; looks one for later.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/1 +58%) One Million Dreams	5 5/1(+58%)	(6) One Million Dreams 5/1, Modest form only outing on Flat in France and similar form over hurdles, shaping better than the distance beaten suggests when third in 6-runner maiden at Fakenham (20f) last month, weakening from 2 out. Has shown some ability in France and Britain; markedly better is surely needed, though.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (66/1 +34%) Bertie The Rebel	66 66/1(+34%)	(1) Bertie The Rebel 66/1, Better effort in bumpers when third of 5 at Stratford on debut in October but went backwards at Southwell 10 weeks on. 11l third of five at Stratford (soft) but tailed off in another bumper at Southwell.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (100/1 -203%) One For Hadley	100 100/1(-203%)	(5) One For Hadley 100/1, Hooded and showed rather more temperament than ability when well held in a Plumpton bumper on debut early last month, going in snatches. Easy enough to oppose making a quick switch to hurdling. 25-1 and hooded when no show in bumper at Plumpton (good to soft) two months ago.

14:15 Lingfield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

DRAYTON FLYER should have learned plenty from his second-placed debut in a bumper at Wetherby last month and he looks just the type to excel over obstacles. This looks a good starting point for the son of Lauro and he may possess enough ability to overpower the experienced Disco Davis. Dan Skelton's charge completed over timber for the first time when fifth at Exeter and the six-year-old isn't taken lightly. Blue Bellamy may fare best of the remainder.

DISCO DAVIS has had a mightily unlucky start to his hurdling career having looked the likely winner when falling late on his first 2 outings and, with his completed start in this sphere at Exeter certainly no backwards step either, he’s taken to record a deserved success. Drayton Flyer made a highly promising start to his career when runner-up to a stablemate in a Wetherby bumper and rates the main threat ahead of Elforleather and Blue Bellamy.

It would not be a great shock were DRAYTON FLYER to find the improvement he needs after his second in a Wetherby bumper.

14:45 Lingfield Handicap Chase (Class 3) 29f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (11/2 +61%) Sporting Ace	5.5 11/2(+61%)	(9) Sporting Ace 11/2, Visored for 1st time, below-form fifth of 11 in handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f, soft, 22/1) 43 days ago. Not ruled out with the headgear dispensed with. Fair second on reappearance but heavy defeats both starts since; headgear is removed.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/3 +49%) Passing Well	3.333333 10/3(+49%)	(5) Passing Well 10/3, Arrives in good nick, cheekpieces on for 1st time when third of 5 in handicap chase at Wincanton (25.1f, soft) 36 days ago. This course scorer needs considering. Unraced beyond an extended 3m1f but it looks worth a go after his rallying 3rd last time.
3	6 3rd (6) (13/2 +46%) Hudson De Grugy	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(6) Hudson De Grugy 13/2, Resumed winning ways at Fontwell in December but pulled up in handicap chase at Newbury (26f, good to soft, 12/1) 34 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Won at Fontwell (extended 2m3f) last month; pulled up either side, upped to 3m2f on latest.
4	13 4th (13) (12/1 -20%) Saint Xavier	12 12/1(-20%)	(13) Saint Xavier 12/1, Veteran resumed winning ways in 7-runner handicap chase at Haydock (28.4f, soft) 32 days ago by 2¾ lengths from The Two Amigos. Up 6 lb but can't be discounted in his current mood. Won from The Two Amigos at Haydock (3m4f, soft); back up 6lb but considered seriously.
5th	8 5th (8) (9/1 -20%) Christopher Wood	9 9/1(-20%)	(8) Christopher Wood 9/1, Seventeen runs since his last win in 2021 but he looked rusty after 9 months off when fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Ludlow (23.8f, soft, 10/3) 44 days ago. Could take a sizeable step forward now. Third to a runaway winner over 3m7f at Musselburgh last February but out of form since.
12	12 \|U\| (12) (18/1 -29%) Everything'sontick	18 18/1(-29%)	(12) Everything'sontick 18/1, Scored at Leicester and Plumpton last season but off 10 months since a poor fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (23.9f). Needs to hit the ground running. Has shaped as if he could be an out-and-out stayer; also has a good first-time-out record.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (5/1 +0%) Here Comes Mccoy	5 5/1(+0%)	(3) Here Comes Mccoy 5/1, Made a promising return when second of 9 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, soft) 52 days ago, looking the likely winner until blundering at the last. Up in trip and well in the mix. The furthest he's been was 3m2f on heavy at Uttoxeter last January and he won that by 11l.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (7/1 +36%) Dr Kananga	7 7/1(+36%)	(10) Dr Kananga 7/1, Reliable sort who comes here on the back of a solid sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Sandown (28.7f, soft, 22/1) 55 days ago. Possibilities. Front-running sixth at Sandown (3m4f) wasn't a bad reappearance; stamina not proven.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (10/1 -67%) Lady Balko	10 10/1(-67%)	(1) Lady Balko 10/1, On the up switched to fences this term, completing hat-trick of handicap wins at Hereford last month, until coming in last of 5 in Newbury Listed event last time. Sort to bounce back. Fine run ended latest; needs to resume improvement and moves into the unknown stamina-wise.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (12/1 -118%) Major Dundee	12 12/1(-118%)	(2) Major Dundee 12/1, Career best when landing the Midlands Grand National in 2023. In the process of running creditably when unseating 2 out in the Eider at Newcastle and should strip fitter with his Bangor reappearance sixth behind him. Weighted to go well. Well suited by extreme tests of stamina and twice ran close to his best last term.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (15/2 +32%) The Two Amigos	7.5 15/2(+32%)	(4) The Two Amigos 15/2, 2022 Welsh National victor. Only thrice raced since but posted a good second of 7 to Saint Xavier in handicap chase (20/1) at Haydock (28.4f, soft) 32 days ago. Must enter calculations. Absent 627 days before this season but front-running 2nd to Saint Xavier at Haydock (3m4f).
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (40/1 -21%) Foxboro	40 40/1(-21%)	(11) Foxboro 40/1, Scored at Exeter (30.7f) last December but laboured efforts since, leaving Robert Walford prior to latest outings at Plumpton and Kelso. Others are more appealing. 20l win off 4lb higher at Exeter (3m6f, soft) in December 2023; not nearly so good since.

14:45 Lingfield Handicap Chase (Class 3) 29f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Saint Xavier must have a good chance sneaking into this marathon contest off bottom weight following his last-start success over 3m4f at Haydock. The much younger legs of LADY BALKO may prevail, though, as she was in really good form in handicap company prior to having an off-day when upped in class at Newbury just over a fortnight ago. Here Comes McCoy should run his usual honest race and course scorer Passing Well is another to keep an eye on.

Alan King's MAJOR DUNDEE should be all the better for his reappearance Bangor sixth and this former Midlands Grand National victor can capitalise on a handy-looking mark now returned to a marathon trip. Here Comes McCoy is next on the list on the back of his promising Uttoxeter return, with veterans The Two Amigos and Saint Xavier also in the mix in a very open Surrey National.

Hopes for THE TWO AMIGOS have been rekindled by his second at Haydock. Here Comes McCoy, moving up in trip, is feared most.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (9/4 +63%) Just Aidan	2.25 9/4(+63%)	(9) Just Aidan 9/4, Maiden hurdler from eight attempts but returned to form when third at Wincanton (15.3f, soft) earlier this month. Entitled to build on that and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him get his head in front in this kind of company. Won point bumper in 2023; low-key hurdle form but more competitive latest; yard in form.
2	4 2nd (4) (6/1 +25%) Diamond Days	6 6/1(+25%)	(4) Diamond Days 6/1, Showed minor promise when seventh of 14 in a novice hurdle (80/1) at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) 18 days ago and looks another who will improve for the switch to handicaps. Minor form in a bumper and novice/maiden hurdles; betting can offer some clues.
3	11 3rd (11) (12/1 +82%) Simon The Seagull	12 12/1(+82%)	(11) Simon The Seagull 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who was pulled up on final run of last season and returned with a disappointing effort when ninth of 11 in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, good to soft) 46 days ago. Down in trip and wears blinkers for the first time but easy to look elsewhere. Modest form in handicaps at 3m1f and 2m4f; fitting blinkers needs to make a big difference.
4	3 4th (3) (9/1 -157%) Out Out	9 9/1(-157%)	(3) Out Out 9/1, Shaped well when runner-up in bumper at Warwick in October 2023 and although not seen to best effect in novice hurdles, he's been given a realistic mark (his dam won off 122 for this yard). Merits serious consideration on handicap debut, particularly if the market speaks in his favour. Dam won 3 hurdles for yard; bumper promise; worth a good look in ordinary handicap.
5th	2 5th (2) (22/1 -10%) Roxhill	22 22/1(-10%)	(2) Roxhill 22/1, No great shakes in a couple of points and efforts in this sphere to date have been underwhelming. Down in trip for handicap debut and others preferred. Well-connected 6yo; has ability; should be capable of better but bred for longer trips.
6th	8 6th (8) (11/1 +21%) Missy Mole	11 11/1(+21%)	(8) Missy Mole 11/1, Runner-up completed start in Irish points but little to shout about in all five outings over hurdles. Failed to improve for stiffer test (21.6f, Exeter) when pulled up 30 days ago and has a bit to prove back down in distance. Runner-up in Irish point last spring but modest handicap form over hurdles this winter.
7th	5 7th (5) (9/1 +64%) Bredon Hill Dart	9 9/1(+64%)	(5) Bredon Hill Dart 9/1, Never featured in 2 bumpers but some promise in novice/maiden hurdles during second half of last term. Shaped as if needing the run switched to handicap company at Leicester on return last month and entitled to strip much fitter today. Claims. Faded on handicap debut but was entitled to need the run and may yet do better.
8th	7 8th (7) (18/1 +45%) Inion Tiogair	18 18/1(+45%)	(7) Inion Tiogair 18/1, Bumper winner but has yet to reach that level over hurdles. Showed up for a while in first-time blinkers when seventh of 8 in a novice hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, heavy, 50/1) but faded badly after 2 out. Needs more. Won soft-ground bumper but it's been a long haul in handicaps, latest last week.
9th	10 9th (10) (22/1 -560%) Rapid Mission	22 22/1(-560%)	(10) Rapid Mission 22/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 12.5f) but has shown little in 3 starts over hurdles this term. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark major improvement. Quite useful on Flat in 2024; goes handicapping off modest mark; soft ground query.
10th	6 10th (6) (11/8 +73%) Culligran	1.375 11/8(+73%)	(6) Culligran 11/8, Found improvement when getting off the mark in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Hereford (16.2f) in November. Respectable efforts from inflated mark both starts subsequently around there and subsequently dropped 2 lb. That could give her a squeak with top jockey taking over in the saddle. Reliable in handicaps at 2m; unraced on slower than good to soft; can play part again.
11th	12 11th (12) (25/1 -39%) Charles Morin	25 25/1(-39%)	(12) Charles Morin 25/1, Modest handicapper on Flat and well held in novice/maiden hurdles. Tough ask on handicap hurdle debut racing from 4 lb out of the weights. Won 1m1f handicap here (good) last May; had wind op since latest hurdle run; ground query.

15:15 Lingfield Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

RAPID MISSION was a winner on the Flat when trained by Joseph O'Brien and could be well treated on his handicap debut in this sphere. He's struggled to land a blow in three juvenile hurdles but has come up against some smart types in the process and the jockey booking of Callum Pritchard is a really positive one. Warwick bumper second Out Out boasts a similar profile now sent handicapping and must be respected for a powerful yard, likewise Culligran.

It would be significant if there is any strong market support for handicap debutantes OUT OUT and Donald Llewellyn and Dan Skelton's charge is preferred with race-fitness on his side making only the fifth start of his career for the yard, who won three races with the dam of this gelding. Of those with handicap form, Bredon Hill Dart and Just Aidan have both shown enough to suggest they are capable of going close in a race of this nature.

A few of these have hopes of better having secured lowly marks for their handicap debuts and OUT OUT is interesting on his bumper form.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (4/1 +20%) River Run Free	4 4/1(+20%)	(9) River Run Free 4/1, Placed both completed starts in Irish points but well held in a trio of hurdling events this winter. Tongue tie added for his chase debut under Rules. Some ability in points; tailed off in three hurdle races; tongue tied for this h'cap debut.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 +29%) Joe Cotton	5 5/1(+29%)	(3) Joe Cotton 5/1, Unreliable type but he came in a respectable second of 5 in handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f, heavy) 30 days ago, finding little. Needs to back it up. Runner-up on last three outings; place chance again but others are preferred for the win.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/1 -83%) Inedit De Mee	11 11/1(-83%)	(1) Inedit De Mee 11/1, Ex-French maiden who posted his best effort here when fourth of 8 in handicap chase (12/1) at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) 68 days ago. Not ruled out off a falling mark. Following a long absence, he has not shown a great deal on his four British starts.
4	11 4th (11) (40/1 -60%) Shaw's Cross	40 40/1(-60%)	(11) Shaw's Cross 40/1, Seventeen runs since his last win in 2023 but he posted a creditable fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Fakenham (21.2f, good to soft) 12 days ago. One to consider. 2lb out of the weights but regularly shows enough to be given a place chance.
5th	5 5th (5) (22/1 -57%) Pawpaw	22 22/1(-57%)	(5) Pawpaw 22/1, Put his best foot forward when resuming winning ways at Fontwell in November but has long been inconsistent and was well beaten at Carlisle next time. Very inconsistent this term; Fontwell win (good ground) on penultimate start was over 3m2f.
6th	7 6th (7) (4/1 +11%) Watchoutitscookie	4 4/1(+11%)	(7) Watchoutitscookie 4/1, Built on earlier promise to get off the mark over fences in 7-runner handicap at Newcastle (23.4f, good to soft) 48 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Not taken lightly in his current mood. Made all at Newcastle (extended 2m7f, good to soft) with a taking performance; back up 6lb.
7th	4 7th (4) (3/1 -9%) Bobbi's Beauty	3 3/1(-9%)	(4) Bobbi's Beauty 3/1, Much improved form when a convincing winner over 2m here in December. Record now stands at 2 from 4 in chases and she can add to her tally with more still to offer. 6l win here (2m, soft) six weeks ago and last February's win was over 2m4f on heavy.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (4/1 +60%) El Bandido Pancho	4 4/1(+60%)	(10) El Bandido Pancho 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who was still upsides the winner when fell 2 out in handicap here (19.5f) 64 days ago. Much respected now going chasing. Fell when challenging two out on handicap hurdle debut here (extended 2m3f, soft) latest.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (28/1 -133%) Chosen Hero	28 28/1(-133%)	(2) Chosen Hero 28/1, Fair winner at 16f over hurdles but last of 6 in handicap chase at Fontwell (17.8f, soft) 36 days ago. Much more is needed. Best hurdle form needs respect but chasing did not go well in her two attempts in December.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (50/1 -257%) Tommy Dillion	50 50/1(-257%)	(6) Tommy Dillion 50/1, Off 8 months before pulled up in handicap chase here (16f, good to soft) on his debut over fences, pulled up before 2 out. Off another 13 months here with his fitness to prove. Pulled up here on chase debut on his only start last season; off 417 days.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (100/1 +0%) Killard Point	100 100/1(+0%)	(12) Killard Point 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules.

15:48 Lingfield Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

BOBBI'S BEAUTY won with any amount in hand over 2m here before Christmas and, up 8lb for that, the step up in trip can ensure she remains a step ahead of the assessor and she's still open to more improvement over fences (2-4). Watchoutitscookie also comes in here on the back of a win and he too was impressive at Newcastle. Joe Cotton might have to settle for another supporting role.

BOBBI'S BEAUTY has taken really well to this sphere and an 8 lb rise for her emphatic success here last time out doesn't look sufficient to prevent her from going 3-5 over fences. Watchoutitscookie is feared most on the back of his Newcastle victory, with Inedit de Mee also firmly in the picture if, as expected, building on his Uttoxeter fourth. Chasing newcomer El Bandido Pancho completes the shortlist.

The vote goes to BOBBI'S BEAUTY (nap) given the style of her win here last time. Watchoutitscookie and Thirsty Farmer are next.

16:18 Lingfield Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (11/8 +27%) Eaton Anne	1.375 11/8(+27%)	(8) Eaton Anne 11/8, Successful sole outing in Irish points and confirmed promise of her qualifying runs when landing an 11-runner handicap hurdle (following wind surgery) at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy), still last two out but found plenty under strong drive. Step up in trip should help and looks open to improvement. Up 6lb but surely a good chance he's better than that, given style of his 2m Uttoxeter win.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 +38%) Godot	5 5/1(+38%)	(4) Godot 5/1, C&D winner is a fair hurdler/chaser. Can race on and off the bridle but on a going day last twice, latest when running well in defeat behind Pearly Island (Fakenham, 20f, soft) 23 days ago. Clearly in good heart and hasn't finished out of the frame in three starts here. Partial revival on last two starts; needs better to win this contest.
3	1 3rd (1) (8/1 +11%) Honneur D'ajonc	8 8/1(+11%)	(1) Honneur D'ajonc 8/1, Proved inconsistent since joining James Owen and below-form when pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Haydock (21.2f, soft) 13 days ago. May find a couple too good here, even if on a going day. Not the force of old, and inconsistent with it; second on penultimate start (2m3f, heavy).
4	5 4th (5) (11/2 0%) Cast's Tasha	5.5 11/2(0%)	(5) Cast's Tasha 11/2, Smooth traveller who returned better than ever when scoring at Ffos Las (21.9f, heavy) in November. Ran at least as well when second at Sandown (19.8f, heavy) last month and she can give another good account in her current form. Made a cracking start to this campaign with Ffos Las win (2m6f) and Sandown second (2m4f).
5th	7 5th (7) (5/1 +38%) Aggagio	5 5/1(+38%)	(7) Aggagio 5/1, Landed decent pot over hurdles at Haydock in March 2023, but runs in this sphere since have been well below that. However, there were signs of promise on his latest run (fifth of 8 at Lingfield 19.5f, soft) when not given hard time. On a handy mark now and market should reveal what's expected. C&D fifth on latest outing suggested he can't be totally ruled out.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (11/1 -22%) Ilot De L'isle	11 11/1(-22%)	(3) Ilot De L'isle 11/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who made a successful hurdling debut in 4-y-o event at Strasbourg (17.9f, heavy) in November 2022. First run for yard after leaving Emmanuel Clayeux and market may guide what's expected on U.K./stable debut following over 2 years off the track. Won well in France in 2022 in a bumper and hurdles debut; withdrawn twice in April 2023.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (17/2 -6%) Knowwhentoholdem	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(2) Knowwhentoholdem 17/2, Hurdles winner for Anthony Charlton at Newbury in March and ran to similar level on debut for this yard when fourth of 11 in handicap at Wetherby later that month. Not taken to chasing on two starts this year and returning to hurdles in first-time cheekpieces should see him in a better light. Heavy defeats switched to chasing, with tongue tied last time and cheekpieces added today.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (22/1 +12%) Bert Wilson	22 22/1(+12%)	(9) Bert Wilson 22/1, Won handicap hurdles at Plumpton and Chepstow in 2023 but more miss than hit since, losing form towards the end of last season, sixth of 7 in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f soft). Races from 1 lb out of the handicap and hard to make a strong case for on comeback following another wind operation. Last season was disappointing but he's since had wind surgery (second time).

16:18 Lingfield Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Success had looked unlikely for EATON ANNE approaching two from home at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve, but Olly Murphy's charge kept on powerfully to record what was ultimately a comfortable triumph. The lightly-raced gelding is 6lb higher but with scope for further improvement, that may not inconvenience him. Cast's Tasha hit the woodwork in a 0-125 at Sandown last time out and she is a real player, along with Godot.

The strong-travelling CAST'S TASHA has proved better than ever on her last two outings, and she is taken to regain the winning thread on ground that suits. AGGAGIO has fallen to a very tempting handicap mark, and he would be a big danger if the market suggests that a return to form is in the offing. Lightly-raced Eaton Anne should appreciate the step up in trip and he remains open to improvement.

First choice has to be EATON ANNE, a freakish winner at Uttoxeter last time out. Handicap newcomer Kalhandrion 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.

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.
