Races & Results Friday 7th February 2025
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(5) Raintown 5/1, Three wins from 15 runs last year. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (12f, AW, 13/2) 35 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. 5-8 on Lingfield AW; however, seldom seen over a trip this short in the last 14 months.

2nd (8) (9/1 -64%) Obsidian Knight
9
9/1(-64%)
(8) Obsidian Knight 9/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Ninth of 11 in handicap (10/3) at this C&D (AW) 16 days ago. Others more persuasive. Poor show last time but that was an amateurs' race and he has never shone in one of those.

3rd (1) (12/1 -9%) Polling Day
12
12/1(-9%)
(1) Polling Day 12/1, C&D winner. First run since leaving Archie Watson when creditable third of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 88 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Not out of things. Ran on well when close 3rd at Wolverhampton in November last time, first run for this yard.

4th (6) (5/1 +23%) Annexation
5
5/1(+23%)
(6) Annexation 5/1, Back from 4 months off when creditable third of 11 in handicap over C&D (AW) on debut for new yard 16 days ago. Can race off same mark and is one for shortlist. 40-1 for stable debut over C&D 16 days ago but finished strongly from last to third of 11.
5th
7
5th (7) (5/1 +41%) Early Morning Dew
5
5/1(+41%)
(7) Early Morning Dew 5/1, Stepped up on return effort when good third of 9 in handicap (16/1) at this course (12f, AW) 14 days ago, slowly away. Can race off same mark and is not taken lightly. Back to form when close third over 1m4f here two weeks ago, so he's firmly in the mix.
6th

6th (3) (28/1 -155%) Caelan
28
28/1(-155%)
(3) Caelan 28/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 4/1), slowly away. Off 7 months. Work to do on first run for new yard. Had wind operation. Out of form when sold out of Marco Botti's for 5,500gns last July; wind surgery soon after.
7th

7th (2) (7/2 +0%) Tribal Wisdom
3.5
7/2(+0%)
(2) Tribal Wisdom 7/2, Posted best effort for some time when ¾-length second of 10 to Etretat in handicap over C&D (AW) 35 days ago, clear of rest. 3 lb higher now but ought to go well again. Close second under Ryan Kavanagh when Etretat gained first run over C&D five weeks ago.
8th
4
8th (4) (7/2 -40%) Etretat
3.5
7/2(-40%)
(4) Etretat 7/2, Proved better than ever when scoring over C&D last month and posted respectable third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 15/8) since. Likely contender. Often ridden by Archie Young; very reliable since last July and latest win was over C&D.
13:02 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A literal interpretation of the official ratings combined with the riders' respective claims gives TRIBAL WISDOM (runner-up) a reasonable chance of turning around last month's C&D form around with Etretat (winner), even though the margins are still very tight. Early Morning Dew is also noteworthy back over his optimum distance, while track-and-trip winner Polling Day lurks on an attractive mark and merits a betting check on just his second start for his current yard.
ANNEXATION ran a cracker on his debut for Tony Carroll here last month and remains fairly treated. He gets the nod in the opener. Etretat and Tribal Wisdom should also go well.
This looks tight but ANNEXATION could emerge on top if he builds on his recent eyecatching stable debut.
(3) D Day Major Winter 250/1, Once-raced colt. 20/1, last of 6 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f) on debut 14 days ago, slowly away. Improvement required. Green and always behind on last month's Southwell debut (1m); bred to need further.
1
5
1st (5) (4/6 +59%) This Farh
0.666667
4/6(+59%)
(5) This Farh 4/6, Found improvement when good third of 9 in handicap (9/4) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 10 days ago, faring best of those held up. Holds strong claims back in maiden company. Consistent without progressing; latest handicap third brings him right into the picture.
2
11
2nd (11) (125/1 +38%) Spoilt
125
125/1(+38%)
(11) Spoilt 125/1, Twice-raced filly. 250/1, last of 9 in maiden at this course (8f, AW) 35 days ago. Looks one for low-grade handicaps down the line. Huge prices and well beaten in two maidens this winter; can't be recommended.
3
6
3rd (6) (4/1 -113%) Enchanted Way
4
4/1(-113%)
(6) Enchanted Way 4/1, Upped her game when second in Epsom maiden in July and may have needed outing, on first start since, when fifth of 7 in novice over C&D (AW) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Likely player. Fluffed her lines when fav here last month; that was after a break and now gets headgear.
4
2
4th (2) (33/1 +18%) Willow's Kiss
33
33/1(+18%)
(2) Willow's Kiss 33/1, Twice-raced filly. Fifth of 8 in maiden at Chelmsford City (7f, 250/1) 22 days ago. Others preferred. Big step forward from her debut run when 5th at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago; e-w claims here.
5th
9
5th (9) (8/1 +0%) Amber Honey
8
8/1(+0%)
(9) Amber Honey 8/1, £15,000 yearling, Expert Eye filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 1m Sterling Knight and useful winner up to 6f Charmed. Dam 1m winner who stayed 1¼m. Interesting newcomer. Half-sister to seven winners, notably Sterling Knight (RPR 99); starts out in modest event.
6th
1
6th (1) (4/1 +43%) Jungle Cruise
4
4/1(+43%)
(1) Jungle Cruise 4/1, Twice-raced gelding. Fifth of 8 in maiden (20/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 22 days ago, left poorly placed. Hood on 1st time. Each-way claims. Ran to a fair level at Chelmsford three weeks ago (7f); now hooded; capable of better.
7th
7
7th (7) (22/1 -38%) Rhodes Royce
22
22/1(-38%)
(7) Rhodes Royce 22/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 7 in novice at this C&D (AW, 16/1) on debut 16 days ago, slowly away. Work to do. 16-1, green and always in rear on last month's C&D debut; should do better at some point.
8th
4
8th (4) (50/1 +24%) My Friend Charles
50
50/1(+24%)
(4) My Friend Charles 50/1, Twice-raced gelding. Last of 8 in maiden (28/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 22 days ago. Hard to fancy. Well beaten in two AW runs so far but he's bred to do much better at some point.
13:32 Lingfield Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
THIS FARH has run well in defeat on all three starts since being gelded and, still open to improvement over 7f, a breakthrough success is well within reach if stepping forward from his promising handicap debut last month. Enchanted Way is surely better than she managed when qualifying for a mark here 16 days ago and could give the selection a scare if revved up by first-time cheekpieces on her first run in this sphere. Jungle Cruise and Amber Honey are others to keep an eye on.
THIS FARH continues to run well and made a solid start in handicaps at Wolverhampton last month. He can gain a deserved first success. Enchanted Way looks the likeliest danger on form whilst Amber Honey may be the pick of the newcomers.
Jungle Cruise has more to offer but ENCHANTED WAY is given another chance to confirm the promise of last summer's Epsom second.
13:32 Lingfield Maiden (Class 5) 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(1) Counsel 2/1, Course winner. 14/1, bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 14 days ago, doing too much too soon. Others more persuasive. Unplaced in two sprint handicaps after a seven-month layoff; others appeal more at 5f.
2
2
2nd (2) (4/1 +0%) Diamond Dreamer
4
4/1(+0%)
(2) Diamond Dreamer 4/1, Four-time winner last year who put a poor previous run behind him when creditable third of 8 in handicap (12/1) over C&D (AW) 16 days ago, running on late. Enters calculations. Split two of these over C&D last month, a run that can be marked up; leading contender.
3
3
3rd (3) (15/2 +6%) Gogo Yubari
7.5
15/2(+6%)
(3) Gogo Yubari 15/2, C&D winner. Five wins from 16 runs last year. 4/1, last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 18 days ago, going off too hard. Not out of things. Conditions to suit & this winter's 5f form is solid; easy lead unlikely; others preferred.
4
5
4th (5) (11/2 -22%) Harry Brown
5.5
11/2(-22%)
(5) Harry Brown 11/2, Course winner. 7/4 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 16 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Warrants respect. Two sound efforts here last month; blinkers now tried; shouldn't be far away.
5th
4
5th (4) (4/1 +20%) Recon Mission
4
4/1(+20%)
(4) Recon Mission 4/1, Arrives in good form and only narrowly failed to return to winning ways in 8-runner handicap over C&D (AW) 16 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and looks sure to make his presence felt. Banging at the door since last April; finished in front of two of these here last month.
6th
6
6th (6) (11/1 -450%) Havechatma
11
11/1(-450%)
(6) Havechatma 11/1, Course winner who posted career best when taking 8-runner handicap at Southwell (5f) under this rider 8 days ago. Can race off same mark here and holds obvious claims. Front-runner; won off this mark at Southwell last week but in a lower grade.
14:02 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
RECON MISSION has shown few signs of his enthusiasm waning and, after a close second in a similar race over C&D last month, the Tony Carroll-trained nine-year-old is hard to ignore off just a 1lb higher mark. Havechatma is an obvious threat after a ready success off 3lb lower at Southwell. Track-and-trip winner Diamond Dreamer tends to go well for David Probert and cannot be ruled out.
HAVECHATMA carries no penalty for last week's Southwell victory and looks the one to beat. Recon Mission may provide the chief threat.
Recon Mission finished in front of DIAMOND DREAMER (nap) here last time but the selection endured a rough trip in comparison.
(3) Tyrrhenian Sea 5/2, Smart gelding. Course winner. Good 1¾ lengths second of 6 to Royal Champion in listed race (6/4) at this course (1¼m) 38 days ago. Fully effective over this trip earlier in his career. Looks sure to go well. Reliable on AW and he's a Listed winner at this track (1m2f); should be involved.
2
1
2nd (1) (4/9 -11%) Maljoom
0.444444
4/9(-11%)
(1) Maljoom 4/9, Took well to fitting of blinkers when second in Group 1 Sussex at Goodwood (1m) in July. Failed to back that up in International at York and Leopardstown Group 2 later in summer. Headgear off on return. Not entirely straightforward but won his previous AW start and a potential class act. High-class at 1m on his day; headgear off; the one to beat but not sure he's bombproof.
3
2
3rd (2) (9/1 +0%) Popmaster
9
9/1(+0%)
(2) Popmaster 9/1, Smart gelding. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 21 days ago. Third in listed company at Kempton in December. Listed winner; in good form over a mile on AW this winter; big run expected.
4
4
4th (4) (100/1 -52%) Imperial Express
100
100/1(-52%)
(4) Imperial Express 100/1, Fairly useful filly. Latest win at Hamilton (9f) in August. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (10f, AW, 40/1) 20 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Has plenty to find at this level. Two turf wins last summer; big personal best required to win at this level.
14:32 Lingfield Listed (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
MALJOOM may not have scored since a Group 2 success at Cologne in May 2022, but the six-year-old was placed at the top level twice last summer and this represents a significant drop in grade. On his seasonal debut, he can get back to winning ways at the main expense of Tyrrhenian Sea, who goes well around here and could be suited by dropping back to 1m for the first time in over two years. Popmaster may be capable of picking up the pieces if the leading contenders falter.
TYRRHENIAN SEA has a strong AW record and might be a more solid option than Maljoom, who has the best form courtesy of his Sussex Stakes second last summer but failed to reproduce that on his final 2 outings in 2024 and hasn't won for nearly 3 years.
Maljoom's peak form would make him hard to beat but he isn't straightforward and POPMASTER is a sporting alternative at the prices.
(8) Rey De La Batalla 11/2, C&D winner. Good ½-length second of 7 to Tadreeb over C&D 25 days ago. Should be thereabouts again. Good efforts behind two of these rivals in recent months; not fully exposed just yet.
2
7
2nd (7) (8/1 -45%) Giorgio M
8
8/1(-45%)
(7) Giorgio M 8/1, Unreliable sort but on a going day when second of 8 in 6f course handicap 20 days ago, finishing well. No certainty to be in the same mood this time. Good second over 6f here three weeks ago; return to 7f a plus; should go well.
3
6
3rd (6) (16/1 -60%) Thapa Vc
16
16/1(-60%)
(6) Thapa Vc 16/1, C&D winner. Also went close over C&D on New Year's Eve. Unsuited by how race developed when last of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Wolverhampton (7f) since. Treated as if still in good form. Fine 2nd over C&D in December; troubled run latest; will need luck in running from stall 1.
4
3
4th (3) (5/2 -25%) Tadreeb
2.5
5/2(-25%)
(3) Tadreeb 5/2, Thriving for new trainer Rod Millman, completing a C&D hat-trick last month. A further 4 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him. 3-3 over C&D since joining this yard; useful turn of foot and he should remain competitive.
5th
2
5th (2) (10/3 +33%) Bravo Zulu
3.333333
10/3(+33%)
(2) Bravo Zulu 10/3, Won over 1m here in December and followed up over 7f at Southwell later in the month. 7/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 41 days ago. Came up short in hat-trick bid latest but still ran with credit; could be more to come.
6th
5
6th (5) (4/1 +11%) Beattie Is Back
4
4/1(+11%)
(5) Beattie Is Back 4/1, Latest win at Newcastle (7f) in November. Good placd efforts back there since and ought to be in the thick of things again. He's been in good form at Newcastle in recent months; should remain competitive.
7th
4
7th (4) (10/1 +50%) How Impressive
10
10/1(+50%)
(4) How Impressive 10/1, Five wins from 20 runs last year, including this race. Also successful twice in the autumn but has struggled for form since. Dangerous mark and has suitable conditions; revival not impossible.
15:02 Lingfield Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
TADREEB has been a revelation since joining the Rod Millman stable, and a 4lb rise for his most recent success may not be enough to prevent him from landing a C&D four-timer. Rey De La Batalla (second) has half a length to make up on the selection from that contest, but he is better off at the weights with that rival now and looks the main danger. Beattie Is Back has been consistent of late and may be suited by the switch to Polytrack.
TADREEB can defy the handicapper again and make it 4-4 over C&D since switching to the Rod Millman yard. Beattie Is Back, Rey de La Batalla and Thapa Vc can fight it out for the minor honours.
Tadreeb and Thapa Vc need serious consideration but BRAVO ZULU had to do too much early last time and he could bounce back.
(5) The Thames Lady 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/2, seventh of 9 in novice at this course (7f) 38 days ago. Potential improver in handicaps. Not solid on racecourse achievements but there are grounds for expecting better in h'caps.
2
2
2nd (2) (9/4 +63%) Psychodrama
2.25
9/4(+63%)
(2) Psychodrama 9/4, Modest form. Good fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 24 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Fair 4th on last month's handicap debut at Southwell; down 2lb but more needed to win.
3
11
3rd (11) (7/1 -8%) Apple's Angel
7
7/1(-8%)
(11) Apple's Angel 7/1, 22/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 18 days ago, always holding on. Should remain competitive after a 2 lb nudge. Two 6f handicap wins on Polytrack; should remain competitive up 2lb.
4
8
4th (8) (25/1 -56%) Blue Force One
25
25/1(-56%)
(8) Blue Force One 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 14/1, fifth of 7 in novice at Newcastle (5f). Off 157 days/gelded. First run for yard after leaving Karl Burke. Hood on first time. Makes handicap debut. Didn't progress for K Burke last season; sold for 2,600gns and gelded in Nov; now hooded.
5th
1
5th (1) (11/2 +15%) She Went Whoosh
5.5
11/2(+15%)
(1) She Went Whoosh 11/2, 9/2, creditable second of 6 in nursery at Nottingham (5f, soft). Off 93 days. Makes polytrack debut. Consistent on turf as a 2yo but she needs improvement for this switch to AW.
6th
7
6th (7) (7/2 -27%) Little Bittern
3.5
7/2(-27%)
(7) Little Bittern 7/2, Promising type. Improved to make a winning handicap debut at Southwell (6f) under Oliver Carmichael 21 days ago. Raised 6 lb but she almost certainly has more to offer. Big improver when winning at Southwell (handicap debut); up 6lb but full value for the win.
7th
4
7th (4) (15/2 +25%) One For Harvey
7.5
15/2(+25%)
(4) One For Harvey 15/2, Modest form. Bit below form fifth of 9 in novice at Wolverhampton (5f) 78 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Showed ability, including on Polytrack, as a 2yo; needs more now handicapping.
8th
6
8th (6) (12/1 -20%) Dandy Khan
12
12/1(-20%)
(6) Dandy Khan 12/1, Modest form in Ireland for Jessice Harrington. Well drawn but will need improvement to strike on debut for new yard. Showed some promise for J Harrington but hard to say she was obviously well handicapped.
15:35 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Little Bittern won at Southwell last month and is entitled to be thereabouts again, but a 6lb hike makes life tougher. Apple's Angel got off the mark in determined fashion off 3lb lower at Kempton last month and she is also considered, but SHE WENT WHOOSH gets the nod. She is entitled to have improved since last seen in a Nottingham nursery and could go well on her all-weather bow.
LITTLE BITTERN still didn't look the finished article when scoring at Southwell last month and is taken to defy the handicapper. The Thames Lady is one who could improve now moving into handicaps.
The Thames Lady is an interesting handicap debutante but LITTLE BITTERN won well at Southwell and can make light of her 6lb rise.
(7) Watermelon Sugar 3/1, C&D winner. 18/1, ran best race for some time when third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 53 days ago. Successful from a 2 lb higher mark here last year and of definite interest if building on latest run. C&D winner last April; went close at Wolverhampton in December; solid claims.
2
3
2nd (3) (2/1 +33%) Brunel Charm
2
2/1(+33%)
(3) Brunel Charm 2/1, Course winner who ended a losing run stretching back to summer 2022 in 9-runner handicap at Kempton (6f, 6/1) 18 days ago, having run of race. Remains well treated on old form and he's respected in an open contest. Given canny ride to win at Kempton last month; retains handicapping scope up 4lb.
3
9
3rd (9) (17/2 +39%) Nordic Glory
8.5
17/2(+39%)
(9) Nordic Glory 17/2, 5-time course winner. Latest win at Windsor in August. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 8/1) 20 days ago, weakening over 1f out having been caught a little wider than ideal. Mark has eased a little more and he's worth a second look back at this venue. Form dipped twice since his C&D second in December; dangerous mark if reviving.
4
5
4th (5) (18/1 -80%) Libra Tiger
18
18/1(-80%)
(5) Libra Tiger 18/1, Latest win at Kempton (6f) in March. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 5 in handicap (7/2) at Brighton (5.3f, soft) in September, holding every chance. Handicap has eased his grip further if he's ready to roll back from 5 months off. Ended 2024 quietly; has the widest stall to overcome back from five months off.
5th
4
5th (4) (16/1 -14%) Arlecchino's Gift
16
16/1(-14%)
(4) Arlecchino's Gift 16/1, C&D winner. Four wins from 18 runs last year, the at Wolverhampton (6f) in September. 50/1, last of 12 in handicap back at that venue (6.1f) 55 days ago, left poorly placed. Fallen back down to last winning mark. Won four times in a productive 2024; quiet the last twice but could bounce back.
6th
2
6th (2) (16/1 -14%) Flag Carrier
16
16/1(-14%)
(2) Flag Carrier 16/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 9/1, last of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, AW) 20 days ago, weakening quickly having refused to settle. Visor back on. Dangerous mark but dropped right away here (7f) last month; down in trip/class today.
7th
11
7th (11) (66/1 +0%) Moorgate
66
66/1(+0%)
(11) Moorgate 66/1, Sole success came over this C&D last winter. However, recent exploits have been uninspiring, well-beaten eleventh of 14 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 23 days ago. Visor now the headgear of choice returned to sprinting. Not found last winter's AW form this time around; new headgear but opposable.
8th
1
8th (1) (13/2 -18%) Francisco
6.5
13/2(-18%)
(1) Francisco 13/2, Fair form in pair of starts for Andrew Balding in late 2023. Absent/sold cheaply prior to confirming he retains ability after 14 months off when second of 5 in novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 25 days ago. That was a solid display with handicaps now on the agenda and he's worth a second look. Unexposed 4yo; sharper for last month's stable debut/return from a long absence.
9th
8
9th (8) (16/1 -14%) Dream By Day
16
16/1(-14%)
(8) Dream By Day 16/1, 25/1, good 2¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Brunel Charm in handicap at Kempton (6f) 18 days ago, no extra last ½f. That was his first start for 10 weeks and he's entitled to be sharper with that under his belt. More promising signs when fourth at Kempton last month; now has something to build on.
10th
6
10th (6) (28/1 -12%) Alfa Moonstone
28
28/1(-12%)
(6) Alfa Moonstone 28/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Craig Lidster when ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, AW, 28/1) 78 days ago. Others more persuasive. 28-1 and never in the hunt on her stable debut here (5f) in November; hood off today.
11th
10
11th (10) (11/1 +31%) Fai Fai
11
11/1(+31%)
(10) Fai Fai 11/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Not disgraced from a tricky draw when seventh of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Kempton (7f) 9 days ago. Better showing not ruled out returned to class 6 company. Fine C&D run in December but less good twice since; return to Lingfield needs to revive.
16:05 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Last month's Kempton winner Brunel Charm must enter calculations in his current mood and a 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid. However, WATERMELON SUGAR is now 2lb lower than his C&D victory in April 2024 and the six-year-old looks slightly better treated than the former having been dropped 1lb after a close-up third at Wolverhampton in December. Francisco and Dream By Day are others to consider in an open-looking contest.
WATERMELON SUGAR took a big step back in the right direction when third at Wolverhampton in December and, operating 2 lb below his last winning mark, he could well be ready to strike. Unsurprisingly this is competitive though, with Nordic Glory, Kempton scorer Brunel Charm and handicap debutant Francisco others on the shortlist.
The unexposed Francisco can go well but WATERMELON SUGAR, representing a yard going well, could be the answer.
(3) Backer Bilk 5/4, Down the field in trio of maiden/novice events but well backed, showed improved form when second on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 6 days ago, staying on final 1f having been shuffled back early on. High on the shortlist here. Well backed and showed much more when a close 2nd on last week's h'cap debut (8.6f); solid.

2nd (2) (11/2 +31%) Emily Rebecca

11/2(+31%)
(2) Emily Rebecca 11/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, fared no better than previously on qualifying run when last of 7 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 49 days ago. However, she's certainly not without hope on pedigree and this switch to handicaps can see her in a better light. Up in trip. Not quick enough for 7f in her three novice runs; should be seen to better effect here.

50/1(-52%)
(4) Bear Baby 50/1, Muhaarar filly who has offered very little all 3 starts in novice/maiden company so application of cheekpieces/switch to handicaps needs to bring about a good deal of improvement if she's to feature over this longer trip. Poor form in three novice/maiden runs at up to 8.6f; reasons to expect better this time.

4th (1) (11/10 +0%) Ignition

11/10(+0%)
(1) Ignition 11/10, Not long with this yard and he posted best effort to date sporting first-time blinkers when very good third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 11/4) 6 days ago, snatched up 2f out before finishing well and just failing. Unexposed at this trip and he's of interest at this level. Close 3rd (unlucky) at Wolverhampton six days ago; obvious claims and likely to stay.

5th (5) (50/1 0%) Rue D'etoile

50/1(0%)
(5) Rue D'etoile 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, sixth of 7 in nursery at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 48 days ago. Hard to fancy on what he's achieved to date. Poor form in four starts, including his handicap debut seven weeks ago; too much to prove.
16:40 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Having found only a progressive rival too strong on his handicap bow over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton six days ago, compensation could be on the cards for BACKER BILK. The gelded son of Ulysses is due to go up 2lb in the future and he should take plenty of stopping if seeing out today's 1m2f trip. Fellow in-form rival Ignition is a potential improver now also upped in distance and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Emily Rebecca.
BACKER BILK showed much improved form when runner-up on handicap debut at Wolverhampton 6 days ago and he shades the vote to come out on top now his stamina is tested further. Ignition never had the rub of the green when placed himself at Wolverhampton recently and he's a big threat. Emily Rebecca needs monitoring on handicap debut, too.
Emily Rebecca rates a likely improver now handicapping but BACKER BILK can gain compensation for last week's narrow defeat.
