13:15 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 13f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (13/2 +19%) Largo Bay	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(7) Largo Bay 13/2, Having been edging down in the weights, ended long losing run in 11-runner handicap at this course (12f, 10/3) 10 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort. Ended a lengthy losing run here ten days ago and a 2lb rise looks fair; possibilities.
2	1 2nd (1) (6/1 +50%) Placated	6 6/1(+50%)	(1) Placated 6/1, Course winner who has returned to form on her last 2 starts, running up to her best behind a progressive rival when second of 9 in handicap at this course (12f, 7/2) 32 days ago. Merits consideration. Runner-up here (1m4f) in her last two starts and she remains feasibly treated; shortlisted.
3	10 3rd (10) (5/1 -11%) Tortured Soul	5 5/1(-11%)	(10) Tortured Soul 5/1, Made it back-to-back wins since joining his current yard when landing 10-runner handicap (6/5) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 23 days ago. Not taken lightly as he goes further up in trip on his polytrack debut. Unbeaten in two AW runs for his current yard and he's open to more progress; interesting.
4	2 4th (2) (9/2 +63%) Louisiana Bay	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(2) Louisiana Bay 9/2, Run best excused when fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 10/3) 21 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Had been proving consistent before last time, but needs a bit extra if she's to open her account. Two runner-up efforts (1m4f) this winter but she didn't fire last time and is now 0-8.
5th	12 5th (12) (22/1 +45%) Merry Minister	22 22/1(+45%)	(12) Merry Minister 22/1, Well supported (4/1) but fared no better than of late when fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 19 days ago. Has eased further in the weights but he has something to find upped in distance. On much reduced mark but he's 0-10 over a variety of trips in handicaps; others preferred.
6th	3 6th (3) (6/1 -50%) Destinado	6 6/1(-50%)	(3) Destinado 6/1, Continued his fine start for his current trainer when winning 11-runner minor event at this course (10f, evens) 12 days ago, readily. Can add to his tally as he goes back up in trip. Record of 3-4 for his current yard and he's a big player again back in a 1m5f handicap.
7th	8 7th (8) (25/1 +0%) Crazy Maisie	25 25/1(+0%)	(8) Crazy Maisie 25/1, Successful at Chelmsford City (10f) in November and has remained in form since, fourth of 10 in handicap at the same C&D (9/1) 18 days ago. Can give her running once again as she goes back up in trip. In-form 5yo but her wins have come at 1m2f and this looks competitive back up in trip.
8th	4 8th (4) (10/1 -67%) Taxiing	10 10/1(-67%)	(4) Taxiing 10/1, Has been going the right way in 3 starts for her current yard, getting off the mark in 10-runner handicap (11/8) at Wolverhampton (14f) 20 days ago. Can give another good account with the visor back on. Off the mark at Wolverhampton last month and a 3lb rise looks fair; respected back in trip.
9th	5 9th (5) (14/1 +30%) Alghazaal	14 14/1(+30%)	(5) Alghazaal 14/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Has run well last 2 starts, making effort earlier than ideal when third of 9 in handicap at this course (12f, 5/1) 32 days ago. Can give his running but may just be vulnerable for win purposes. In-form 7yo but he's an infrequent winner and was behind Placated here last time.
10th	9 10th (9) (11/2 +50%) Fullforward	5.5 11/2(+50%)	(9) Fullforward 11/2, Got back to winning ways at Windsor in August and ran at least as well when second of 11 in handicap at this course (12f, 11/2) 36 days ago. Could be thereabouts tried over this longer distance. 0-8 on AW but was runner-up off the same mark here (1m4f) last time; in the mix.
11th	6 11th (6) (28/1 -75%) Black Smoke	28 28/1(-75%)	(6) Black Smoke 28/1, Continued in good heart when length fourth of 10 to the reopposing Taxiing in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 2/1) 20 days ago. More required as he makes the switch to polytrack. In the frame on AW in his last three starts and he should go well again back in trip.
12th	11 12th (11) (66/1 -32%) Hiccups	66 66/1(-32%)	(11) Hiccups 66/1, Hasn't offered much in a trio of starts so far, last of 8 in minor event at this course (10f, 250/1) 54 days ago. Needs to leave his previous efforts well behind upped in trip for his handicap debut. Unexposed 4yo but he needs a transformation upped to 1m5f on his handicap debut.

13:15 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 13f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Destinado returns to handicap company on the back of a classified stakes double and must be considered, but an increased mark leaves him with no margin for error and preference is for TAXIING. The David Evans-trained filly built on a near-miss at Chelmsford to open her account over 1m6f at Wolverhampton last month and, with scope for further improvement following that confidence-boosting success, a 3lb rise may not be enough to a halt her. Placated and Tortured Soul are others to consider in a tricky opener.

DESTINADO made it three wins from 4 starts since joining James Owen when successful at this course 12 days ago, doing well in the circumstances having had to come from a long way back, and he can score again in his current form. Heading the list of dangers is Tortured Soul, who also arrives bidding for a hat-trick, with Placated completing the shortlist.

An open race in which the vote goes to TORTURED SOUL, who made it 2-2 on AW with his comfortable win at Wolverhampton last month.

13:45 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (2/1 +69%) How Impressive	2 2/1(+69%)	(3) How Impressive 2/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in September. 16/1, last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 17 days ago but he did go close over C&D on the previous occasion he was partnered by Oisin Murphy. On dangerous mark but he's not easy to predict and can miss the break; risks attached.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/1 -20%) Rogue Thunder	6 6/1(-20%)	(2) Rogue Thunder 6/1, Winner of 7f novice at Chelmsford in November. Unable to make an impact in 2 handicaps since but it's still early days and this represents a drop in grade. Marquand up. Well held in both his handicaps and he needs to kick on again on this drop back in grade.
3	9 3rd (9) (12/1 +14%) Swiss Pride	12 12/1(+14%)	(9) Swiss Pride 12/1, Seven-time course winner. Below par when fifth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 19 days ago. First-time visor replaces his regular cheekpieces on a rare outing beyond 6f. All wins at 6f but he has some placed form at this trip; not ruled out in new headgear.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 +40%) Local Bay	12 12/1(+40%)	(5) Local Bay 12/1, Three wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win at Brighton in August. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f, 25/1) 72 days ago. Out of sorts in his last two runs in the autumn and he needs a major revival.
5th	10 5th (10) (11/4 +31%) Freetodream	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(10) Freetodream 11/4, Won at Brighton in May. 9/2, very good third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 47 days ago. Big player under Hollie Doyle. Brighton winner who was creditable third at Kempton on his return in December; in the mix.
6th	1 6th (1) (5/1 +33%) Beltane	5 5/1(+33%)	(1) Beltane 5/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap (8/1) at Kempton (1m) 5 days ago. Hood on first time. On a winning mark but hard to be sure he's in good enough form to capitalise. Won at Beverley last summer but he's not matched that since; hood now added back at 7f.
7th	7 7th (7) (22/1 +33%) A Pint Of Bear	22 22/1(+33%)	(7) A Pint Of Bear 22/1, Back to winning ways at Wolverhampton (7f) last month but below-form fifth over this C&D since. Ended a long losing run at Wolverhampton but he wasn't in the same form over C&D last time.
8th	4 8th (4) (28/1 -40%) Bowman	28 28/1(-40%)	(4) Bowman 28/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, last of 11 in C&D handicap 16 days ago. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. Others more persuasive. Mark is tumbling but he needs to turn things around in new headgear; usually sets the pace.
9th	6 9th (6) (22/1 -22%) Impeach	22 22/1(-22%)	(6) Impeach 22/1, Course winner. Latest win at Chelmsford (6f) in November. 16/1, creditable third of 6 over C&D 10 days ago, keeping on from too far back. Won at Chelmsford (6f) in November and was fair third over C&D latest; could be dangerous.
10th	8 10th (8) (150/1 -127%) Whistledown	150 150/1(-127%)	(8) Whistledown 150/1, Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (6f, good) when last seen in August. First run for yard after leaving Jack Channon. The stable has done well with recruits from the same source. Didn't see much action last year and has something to prove on return for new yard.

13:45 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Beltane and Rogue Thunder have slipped back down to workable marks and both look capable if putting their best foot forward, while Swiss Pride may appreciate the return to 7f after some decent efforts over shorter. However, FREETODREAM returned with a pleasing performance when third over this distance at Kempton in December and, with that pipe-opener under his belt, he could be the one to side with.

FREETODREAM shaped quite well back on AW at Kempton just before Christmas and can build on that promise and strike under Hollie Doyle. How Impressive has been runner-up on both previous attempts over C&D, including under today's pilot Oisin Murphy, and is second choice ahead of Rogue Thunder, who is less exposed than most of these and takes a slight drop in grade here.

The vote goes to triple course winner IMPEACH, who is back on his last winning mark and was a fair third over C&D ten days ago.

1	7 1st (7) (7/4 +65%) Neptune Legend	1.75 7/4(+65%)	(7) Neptune Legend 7/4, Modest gelding. Latest win here in October. 6/4, fifth of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 21 days ago, not seen to best effect. Blinkers back on, tongue strap back on. Enters calculations. Had a wide trip at Wolverhampton last month and has claims if things go more to plan here.
2	10 2nd (10) (15/2 +25%) Repartee	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(10) Repartee 15/2, Twenty three runs since last win in 2020. 28/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, AW) 12 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Very useful in his prime but last win was in 2020 and has been well held in last six runs.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/2 -13%) Hold The Press	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(4) Hold The Press 9/2, Modest gelding. C&D winner. 3/1, creditable nose second of 8 to Ajrad in handicap at this C&D (AW) 22 days ago.

5th	9 5th (9) (18/1 -13%) Rebel Redemption	18 18/1(-13%)	(9) Rebel Redemption 18/1, Modest gelding. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 16 days ago. All wins have been at 6f and he's faded over this trip in last two starts; down the list.
6th	3 6th (3) (200/1 -506%) Gintini	200 200/1(-506%)	(3) Gintini 200/1, Poor gelding. 66/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 14 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers on 1st time. Regressive 13-race maiden who has beat only one rival in her last three runs; passed over.
7th	8 7th (8) (12/1 -20%) Pontius	12 12/1(-20%)	(8) Pontius 12/1, Modest gelding. Blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 8/1) 34 days ago. Good second at Chelmsford on comeback but he's been disappointing since and is now 0-11.
8th	12 8th (12) (3/1 +25%) Time Patrol	3 3/1(+25%)	(12) Time Patrol 3/1, Winner at Windsor in September. Hooded for 1st time, good second of 9 in minor event at Kempton (7f, 6/5) 26 days ago, getting going too late. Leading claims. Close second at Kempton latest and he should get a decent two into this race; shortlisted.
9th	2 9th (2) (150/1 -650%) Button Bay	150 150/1(-650%)	(2) Button Bay 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in minor event (16/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 27 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Well held after slow starts in all four runs and she needs a transformation; headgear on.
10th	1 10th (1) (11/1 -214%) Ajrad	11 11/1(-214%)	(1) Ajrad 11/1, Modest gelding. 17/2, won 8-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 22 days ago by nose from Hold The Press. Awkward sort but can go well again. Ended a lengthy losing run when landing a C&D handicap last month; respected.
11th	5 11th (5) (200/1 -506%) Legal Mind	200 200/1(-506%)	(5) Legal Mind 200/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Off over 3 years. Blinkered for 1st time. Could only be fancied if the subject of market support. 16-race maiden who returns after a massive absence and can only be watched; new headgear.
12th	11 12th (11) (125/1 -150%) Ricardo Ofworthing	125 125/1(-150%)	(11) Ricardo Ofworthing 125/1, Poor gelding. Last of 10 in handicap (66/1) at Kempton (8f) 14 days ago. 14-race maiden who has poor claims on most of his form; others preferred.

14:15 Lingfield Stakes (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Ajrad and HOLD THE PRESS were separated by the narrowest of margins when the former scored over this C&D last month and they could fight out the finish again here. The latter is 1lb better off with the winner this time and he has a fine record around here, so could be the safest option as he bids to reverse the from. Time Patrol was a close second in a similar event at Kempton last time and he is another to consider.

NEPTUNE LEGEND wasn't seen to best effect when well backed for a similar race at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and gets another chance with Hollie Doyle now up. Stablemate Time Patrol is interesting, while there won't be much between recent C&D 1-2 Ajrad and Hold The Press again and they won't be far away.

Several have claims but the vote goes to AJRAD, who got back on the scoresheet when beating Hold The Press over C&D last month.

1	4 1st (4) (11/8 +39%) Caustic	1.375 11/8(+39%)	(4) Caustic 11/8, Promising individual. Runner-up in 2 bumpers prior to shaping well when third of 12 on his 1½m Wolverhampton Flat debut in December. More to come and leading claims. Fair NHF form; did well to finish third (slow start) on Wolverhampton Flat debut; chance..
2	7 2nd (7) (7/4 +22%) Eleanor Cross	1.75 7/4(+22%)	(7) Eleanor Cross 7/4, Fair form when making the frame in maiden/novice events on her first 3 starts, including 1¼m at this venue. Failed to improve for a switch to handicap company here (1¼m again) last month but this step up to 1½m could suit. Thereabouts. Placed in a similar novice (1m2f) here in December; in deep for h'cap debut since; player..
3	5 3rd (5) (7/2 -17%) Lartigue	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(5) Lartigue 7/2, Placed in AW novices at Wolverhampton (1½m) and Kempton (11f) in recent months. Likely to be on the premises again. Beaten favourite at Kempton; should be bang there if replicating Wolverhampton debut form..

14:45 Lingfield Stakes (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

ELEANOR CROSS couldn't land a telling blow in the Winter Oaks here 16 days ago but should be more at home back in novice company. She has a lot less on her plate than when beaten by a little under seven lengths in that class 2 handicap and she's taken to finally get off the mark. Kempton runner-up Birthday Angel and Lartigue are the ones expected to put up most resistance.

There was a lot to like about CAUSTIC's first run on the Flat at Wolverhampton just before Christmas and he can prove too strong for Lartigue and Eleanor Cross.

In a tight-knit affair, the main focus is between Caustic and LARTIGUE, with Karl Burke's colt narrowly preferred.

Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs considering. Six-time AW winner who was clear second over C&D latest; respected with cheekpieces added.

3	5 3rd (5) (6/1 +40%) Eagle Eyed Tom	6 6/1(+40%)	(5) Eagle Eyed Tom 6/1, Winner at Beverley in August. 33/1, good fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 12 days ago. Can give a good account. Fair fourth over C&D 12 days ago but he needs to find more to get back on the scoresheet.
4	4 4th (4) (12/1 +40%) Abu Royal	12 12/1(+40%)	(4) Abu Royal 12/1, Last of 7 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 40/1) 9 days ago. Back up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Has work to do. Won an Ayr maiden last May but has form figures of 66707 in handicaps since; lots to prove.

7th	8 7th (8) (25/1 -257%) Renesmee	25 25/1(-257%)	(8) Renesmee 25/1, Winner at Yarmouth in August. 33/1, third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 17 days ago, not ideally placed. Not discounted. Perked up with eyecatching third at Wolverhampton and has claims if she can build on that.
8th	7 8th (7) (15/2 -173%) Shalfa	7.5 15/2(-173%)	(7) Shalfa 15/2, Visored for 1st time, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (AW, 11/2) 32 days ago, always holding on. Player with headgear again sported. Won with a visor added over C&D last month and a 3lb rise looks fair; shortlisted.

15:15 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

ROMILDA is still a maiden through eight starts but has shaped with enough promise to suggest she has a race of this nature within her compass. A daughter of Kingman out of a Galileo mare trained by William Haggas, she is going to breakthrough sooner rather than later and the handicapper has given her a chance by dropping her 1lb for a close-up third at Chelmsford recently. Shalfa appreciated the first-time visor when scoring over C&D latest and heads the list of dangers from Masqool.

SHALFA showed the benefit of a change of headgear when going in over C&D and can make light of a 3 lb rise in the weights with the visor again reached for. Renesmee didn't enjoy the rub of the green when third at Wolverhampton last time and is feared most ahead of Romilda and Eklil.

An interesting race in which ROMILDA gets the vote ahead of recent C&D winner Shalfa and the in-form 6yo Masqool.

15:45 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A return to 7f saw an improved bid from BERRYGATE when a close-up second at Southwell last Tuesday and she ticks plenty of the right boxes racing off the same mark on this quick turnaround. Handicap debutant Silver Trumpet appears fairly treated on his return from a 175-day break and a subsequent gelding operation may unlock some potential too. Market support for the son of Advertise would increase interest, while Irrelevant makes most appeal of the remainder.

BERRYGATE took a step forward when an excellent Southwell second last time out and can go one better now off the same mark. Irrelevant wasn't seen to best effect when a recent third at Kempton and is next on the list ahead of polytrack-debutant Wrestling Revenue and Romanee, who makes his handicap bow.

This can go to BERRYGATE (nap), who went close on her handicap debut at Southwell last week and is well treated off the same mark here.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (4/1 +67%) Free As A Bird	4 4/1(+67%)	(8) Free As A Bird 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Below form sixth of 10 in nursery (12/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 41 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Has not made a serious impact in her five runs and needs improvement back up in trip.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/3 +33%) Hot Front	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(3) Hot Front 10/3, Course winner in August. 10/3, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 15 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Has good chance on pick of form. Well held in her three handicaps and has something to prove at this new trip; visor added.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/1 -133%) Musical Diva	7 7/1(-133%)	(6) Musical Diva 7/1, 9/4, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Southwell (5f) 11 days ago. Hiked up 11 lb but scored comfortably there so she's a player up to 6f in her hat-trick bid. Major improver who has won with plenty in hand in her last two starts; big player again.
4	1 4th (1) (9/2 +10%) She Is A Keeper	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(1) She Is A Keeper 9/2, Winner at Kempton in September. 7/1, creditable fourth of 10 in nursery at this C&D (AW). Off 101 days and one for the shortlist. Ended last year with a Kempton win and a close fourth over C&D; respected on return.
5th	7 5th (7) (14/1 +44%) It's Showtime	14 14/1(+44%)	(7) It's Showtime 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 10 in nursery (10/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 41 days ago. Others have achieved more. Some promise in novice events but was last of ten on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton.
6th	5 6th (5) (5/1 +9%) Wren Officer	5 5/1(+9%)	(5) Wren Officer 5/1, Winner at Newcastle in January and good fourth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 13 days ago. Can give a good account. Won at Newcastle but was well held in a Class 5 last time; one of two runners for yard.
7th	4 7th (4) (17/2 -13%) Graceful Mary	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(4) Graceful Mary 17/2, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Wolverhampton in November. Seventh of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 24 days ago so needs to bounce back. Still unexposed but she's been disappointing in both handicaps and has questions to answer.
8th	2 8th (2) (11/1 +21%) Vanity Pays	11 11/1(+21%)	(2) Vanity Pays 11/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap (80/1) at Kempton (7f) 14 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time with more needed. Ex-Irish filly who is 0-10 and others are more convincing; blinkers are tried back at 6f.

16:20 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Musical Diva has proved a different proposition since being ridden more prominently, as evidenced in last month's Wolverhampton/Southwell double, but an 11lb rise for her latest victory may leave the David O'Meara-trained filly vulnerable. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a punt on HOT FRONT. The combination of a step up in trip and first-time visor could unlock enough improvement for the daughter of Soldier's Call to score for a second time. She Is A Keeper and Wren Officer are also noted.

MUSICAL DIVA has been hit hard by the official assessor for her recent Southwell success but had something left in the tank there and that form is working out well so she gets the nod. In-form Wren Officer appeals as the one to chase home David O'Meara's hat-trick seeke, with course-scorer Hot Front appealng as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Top of the list is MUSICAL DIVA, who has surged clear in her last two runs and may well be able to strike again back up in trip.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
