13:50 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (8.5/1 -31%) Legal Reform	8.5 8.5/1(-31%)	(3) Legal Reform 8.5/1, Has had plenty of exposure in handicaps but he's in the form of his life, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy) 31 days ago, driven out. Shortlist material from just 2 lb higher. Won last two starts at 7f, on Tapeta and turf; well beaten in sole Polytrack start in 2021.
2	7 2nd (7) (12/1 +0%) Sir Winston	12 12/1(+0%)	(7) Sir Winston 12/1, Hasn't stood much racing and could never really land a blow on reappearance at Ripon (6f, soft) 23 days ago, though was left poorly placed. This will reveal more back on the AW. Fair form at 7f on Tapeta; modest reappearance on turf; highish mark to justify.
3	1 3rd (1) (3.5/1 +42%) Winforglory	3.5 3.5/1(+42%)	(1) Winforglory 3.5/1, Successful twice last summer, including on the AW at this venue. 4/1, good second of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford back over 7f and another bold bid looks likely. Solid claims on recent 7f defeat at Chelmsford when hampered; regular hood left off.
4	9 4th (9) (7.5/1 +17%) Prenup	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(9) Prenup 7.5/1, Well prepared to make a winning reappearance at Wolverhampton in March. Creditable third of 7 in handicap (10/3) at Chelmsford City (8f) 42 days ago, sticking to task. Merits consideration. Solid contender at 7f and 1m for both yards; probably needs better again back at this trip.
5th	12 5th (12) (22/1 -83%) Ajrad	22 22/1(-83%)	(12) Ajrad 22/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 14/1) 17 days ago, left poorly placed. Fancied to step up on that. Useful C&D win in November; lesser runs since but capable of a good run when on song.
6th	4 6th (4) (16/1 +20%) My Mate Ted	16 16/1(+20%)	(4) My Mate Ted 16/1, Below form eighth of 16 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to soft, 11/1) 19 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark if cheekpieces work the oracle returned to the AW. Back on winning mark, over 1m at Kempton in August; not shone since; first 7f run.
7th	6 7th (6) (7.5/1 +25%) Sharvara	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(6) Sharvara 7.5/1, Looks a difficult ride (hard puller) but right back to form when second of 5 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 10 days ago. Bigger field may help him settle here. Should be right there on form of last two 7f runs on Tapeta if Polytrack suits as well.
8th	11 8th (11) (20/1 -67%) Otago	20 20/1(-67%)	(11) Otago 20/1, Caught the eye on reappearance and built on that when winning 9-runner handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 5/1) 21 days ago. Drawn wide but another bold bid is on the cards. In very good form, here and on turf; more to do this time from widest draw.
9th	2 9th (2) (2.75/1 -10%) Gold Medal	2.75 2.75/1(-10%)	(2) Gold Medal 2.75/1, Better than ever on return this spring, landing a brace of 6f handicaps on the AW here. May have even more to offer for this yard. Both wins for new yard at 6f here but seemed to stay 7f in 2022; has more to come.
10th	8 10th (8) (40/1 -60%) Watermelon Sugar	40 40/1(-60%)	(8) Watermelon Sugar 40/1, Prolific early in his career but unable to continue the good work since, sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 4/1) 46 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. Four 6f wins; shaped well for new yard but below best latest; unconvincing in one 7f run.
11th	10 11th (10) (28/1 +15%) Counsel	28 28/1(+15%)	(10) Counsel 28/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. 28/1 and visored for first time, last of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, soft) 13 days ago. Struggling for form but this is a drop in class, at least. Ready winner of C&D novice; ups and downs in handicaps; hard to fancy for win purposes.
12th	5 12th (5) (9/1 +10%) Tothenines	9 9/1(+10%)	(5) Tothenines 9/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Ripon (8f, soft) 23 days ago, slowly away and denied a clear run. Needs a good pace to aim at back over 7f. Weighted to be involved on 7f Tapeta form in midwinter; first attempt on Polytrack.

LTO Selection:

13:50 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 6/1 (1) WINFORGLORY, 6.5/1 (3) LEGAL REFORM, and 2.5/1 (2) GOLD MEDAL are the top three horses that may do well in the race. They have solid recent form and have shown success on the AW surface. However, 12/1 (11) OTAGO may also be a strong contender despite being drawn from the widest gate. It is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable, and any of these horses can surprise and perform well or underperform on the day.

Plenty of these make a lot of appeal, but marginal preference lies with LEGAL REFORM, who is now rated 4lb above his last winning all-weather mark following a comfortable success at Catterick last month. The gelded son of Lawman is likely to prove popular following that victory, but Gold Medal steps up in trip having scored over 6f most recently and has to be feared off 3lb higher. Winforglory and Sharvara add further spice to the race.

LEGAL REFORM is in the form of his life and this uncomplicated sort is well drawn to attack, so the hat-trick may well be forthcoming. Gold Medal also arrives on a roll, with better expected from Sir Winston this time.

Several of these come here in top form but WINFORGLORY has more to give at this trip and William Buick rides for the first time.

13:50 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:25 Lingfield Group 3 (Class 1) 7f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (1.62/1 -8%) Sacred	1.62 1.62/1(-8%)	(4) Sacred 1.62/1, Smart mare. Landed 7f Newbury listed event in September before signing off with good second of 8 to Pogo in Challenge Stakes at Newmarket (7f, good), caught further back than ideal. Goes very well fresh so she's the one to beat on her seasonal return. Class act who has an excellent first-time-out record and holds leading claims.
2	5 2nd (5) (2.25/1 +25%) Sandrine	2.25 2.25/1(+25%)	(5) Sandrine 2.25/1, Smart filly who bagged 7f Lennox Stakes at Goodwood last July. Rare poor run when ninth of 10 to Kinross in Prix de la Foret at Longchamp (7f, soft, 10/1) final start. Not taken lightly on return with her yard among the winners. Won the Group 2 Lennox Stakes last July; strong claims if at her best on reappearance.
3	3 3rd (3) (3.5/1 +22%) Queen Aminatu	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(3) Queen Aminatu 3.5/1, Smart filly who completed a hat-trick with 7f Newcastle success in April. Only 9½ lengths seventh of 8 to Honey Girl in Athasi Stakes (5/2) at the Curragh (7f, soft) 12 days ago. This C&D winner can bounce back. Disappointing in recent turf Group 3 but has excellent AW record; could play leading role.
4	8 4th (8) (16/1 +20%) Secret Angel	16 16/1(+20%)	(8) Secret Angel 16/1, Useful filly. 40/1, good 3¼ lengths third of 15 to Mammas Girl in Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Much respected on her polytrack debut. Creditable third in the Nell Gwyn but needs to take another step forward in this hot race.
5th	6 5th (6) (8/1 -7%) White Moonlight	8 8/1(-7%)	(6) White Moonlight 8/1, Useful mare. In good form in Meydan this winter until only seventh of 10 to Mostahdaf in Group 3 Neom Turf Cup at King Abdulaziz (10.4f, good to firm) 77 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Not discounted. Runner-up in 1m Group 2 at Meydan in February and might not be far away.
6th	7 6th (7) (66/1 +0%) Candle Of Hope	66 66/1(+0%)	(7) Candle Of Hope 66/1, Fairly useful filly. Creditable fourth of 6 to Roman Mist in listed race (18/1) at Goodwood (8f, heavy) 7 days ago. May do better still but this is no easy ask. Beaten in Listed races on both starts this year and others are preferred.
7th	2 7th (2) (33/1 +6%) Nizaaka	33 33/1(+6%)	(2) Nizaaka 33/1, Useful mare who gained three wins from 8 runs last year. 20 lengths thirteenth of 15 to Coachello in listed race at this course (6f, soft, 40/1) 28 days ago though so needs to leave that behind. Landed 7f handicap hat-trick last summer but she looks up against it here.
8th	1 8th (1) (100/1 -150%) Love Interest	100 100/1(-150%)	(1) Love Interest 100/1, Useful filly. 12 lengths last of 11 to Times Square in listed race at Longchamp (7f, heavy, 39/1). Off 6 months. Makes polytrack debut. Very hard to make a case for in this company. Twice made the frame in Listed races last year but faces a tough task today.

LTO Selection:

14:25 Lingfield Group 3 (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

1st - 1.5/1 (4) SACRED 2nd - 7.5/1 (6) WHITE MOONLIGHT 3rd - 3/1 (5) SANDRINE

SACRED had a mixed few runs last season but lost little in defeat behind Pogo in a Group 2 at Newmarket on her most recent outing in October. She is fancied to deliver a winning return to action here, and the fact she has an entry for the Lockinge later this month must suggest she is showing all the right signs at home. Sandrine struggled in Group 1 company at Longchamp, also in October, but still rates a big threat returning from a break, while Queen Aminatu is another to note for powerful connections.

SACRED holds the edge on form and goes very well fresh too so she looks the way to go in this Group 3. Andrew Balding has his string in excellent nick so his Lennox heroine Sandrine rates a big threat. Queen Aminatu, a stablemate of the selection, appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes ahead of White Moonlight.

Having run very well in Group 1 and Group 2 races last season, SACRED (nap) holds leading form claims and has a fine record when fresh.

15:00 Lingfield Listed (Class 1) 12f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (2.25/1 +32%) Eternal Hope	2.25 2.25/1(+32%)	(4) Eternal Hope 2.25/1, Promising individual. 6/5, won 7-runner maiden at Chelmsford (1¼m) 77 days ago, well on top finish. Definitely more to come and the choice of William Buick of the yard's pair. Two AW runs in February, winning over Chelmsford 1m2f; it looks like this trip will suit.
2	1 2nd (1) (1.2/1 +36%) Be Happy	1.2 1.2/1(+36%)	(1) Be Happy 1.2/1, Won 7-runner maiden at Cork (1m, good to soft) last autumn. Improved when 3¼ lengths third in 10.5f Saint-Cloud Group 3 on reappearance 6 weeks ago and should be more to come now stepping up in trip again. Leading claims. Third in G3 at Saint-Cloud (10.5f, soft); should stay and surely has more to give.
3	5 3rd (5) (16/1 -45%) Ferrari Queen	16 16/1(-45%)	(5) Ferrari Queen 16/1, Won first 2 starts as a juvenile but had her limitations exposed in pattern company in the second half of the season. Stamina in her pedigree provides hope for this longer trip suiting but she'll need to improve to play a prominent role. Listed 2nd; backward steps in Group 2 and Group 1 as 2yo; best siblings were all stayers.
4	7 4th (7) (40/1 +20%) Ghara	40 40/1(+20%)	(7) Ghara 40/1, Hasn't shown anywhere near enough in her 2 starts to suggest she can mix it in this company but perhaps very testing ground was against her at Newbury last time and she can't be completely dismissed given who trains her. Promise when 6th on AW in November; tailed off in maiden at Newbury (1m2f, soft) on return.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/1 -100%) Bright Diamond	9 9/1(-100%)	(2) Bright Diamond 9/1, Useful at 2, culminating with 5¾ lengths third of 8 to Commissioning in Fillies' Mile at Newmarket (1m, good) in October. Up 4f in trip for reappearance. Thereabouts on form. G1 third over 1m; shapes as she will be suited by further than 1m; brings the best form.
6th	9 6th (9) (8.5/1 -6%) Sunset Point	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(9) Sunset Point 8.5/1, Ended 2022 with a 1m course novice win in December and advanced her form again with 1¼m Windsor handicap/turf debut success on her reappearance 19 days ago. Likely to stay 1½m. Buick on Eternal Hope this time but it's still highly likely she has more to offer. 2yo win here; evens, asserted in grand style late on in handicap at Windsor (1m2f, soft).
7th	3 7th (3) (66/1 +47%) Climate Friendly	66 66/1(+47%)	(3) Climate Friendly 66/1, Modest form in her 2 starts 7 months apart and surely out of her depth here. Modest form; capable of better in due course but this race looks a very tall order.
8th	8 8th (8) (10/1 -33%) Perfect Prophet	10 10/1(-33%)	(8) Perfect Prophet 10/1, Fairly useful form at 2, winning an AW novice before 4½ lengths third of 8 to Polly Pott in May Hill Stakes at Doncaster (1m) on final start. Bred to be suited by middle distances this year. 1m May Hill 3rd as 2yo; marked improvement over this sort of trip would be no surprise.
9th	6 9th (6) (80/1 +36%) Fox Flame	80 80/1(+36%)	(6) Fox Flame 80/1, AW handicap winner over this trip last month but beaten under a penalty the following week and has lots to find now stepping up significantly in class. Improved her form in 1m4f handicaps on last two starts but those were off marks in the 60s.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Lingfield Listed (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Based on the summary, the horses that are likely to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are: 1st: 3.33/1 (4) ETERNAL HOPE - The summary describes the horse as a

Third in a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud on her return to action last month, Be Happy seems a likely contender having shaped with promise on that occasion, but BRIGHT DIAMOND shades the vote. Karl Burke's charge finished a decent third in the bet365 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket when last seen in October and she must hold every chance of building on that Group 1 effort on her Polytrack debut. The fact she has been entered for the Oaks must also make her of significant interest, while Perfect Prophet steps up in trip following a creditable run over a mile at Doncaster last September and is not to ruled out either.

Aidan O'Brien has already mopped up one Oaks trial this week and looks good for another courtesy of BE HAPPY. The main threat may come from Charlie Appleby pair Eternal Hope, the mount of William Buick, and Sunset Point.

Those with better form may prove vulnerable to major improvement from PERFECT PROPHET who caught the eye in the May Hill.

15:35 Lingfield Listed (Class 1) 12f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (1/1 -20%) Military Order	1 1/1(-20%)	(4) Military Order 1/1, Brother to Derby and King George VI winner Adayar. Beaten at short odds first time out but has made no mistake on both subsequent starts, readily defying a penalty in Newbury novice last time. Looks a realistic Derby hope and should take the beating. Impressive from the front at Newbury (1m2f, soft); the best form and brother to Adayar.
2	8 2nd (8) (10/1 +29%) Waipiro	10 10/1(+29%)	(8) Waipiro 10/1, Well related and proved a different proposition to debut when making all at Newmarket on reappearance. Pedigree suggests another step up in trip will be in his favour, so worthy of respect. 25-1 novice win at Newmarket (1m2f, good) last month came with striking authority.
3	1 3rd (1) (2.5/1 +29%) Circle Of Fire	2.5 2.5/1(+29%)	(1) Circle Of Fire 2.5/1, Highly promising son of Almanzor who built on his debut third when impressively landing 1m Salisbury novice in September. Most encouraging return when runner-up in a listed event at Newmarket and, with even more progress likely, he makes plenty of appeal. Second in last week's Listed Newmarket Stakes (1m2f) and his dam was a 1m4f AW winner.
4	3 4th (3) (22/1 -22%) Laafi	22 22/1(-22%)	(3) Laafi 22/1, Left debut form well behind when landing a Nottingham maiden comfortably 6 months ago. Longer trip should suit and could get involved if inexperience doesn't hold him back. Relentless to lead close home in maiden at Nottingham (1m, soft) in October; promising.
5th	7 5th (7) (66/1 +0%) Think First	66 66/1(+0%)	(7) Think First 66/1, Lightly-raced winner. 25/1, 8 lengths fourth of 5 to Epictetus in listed race at Epsom (10.1f, heavy) 18 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. 2-2 on Chelmsford Polytrack (1m/1m2f) as 2yo; that's the hope after Listed defeat on turf.
6th	5 6th (5) (22/1 -38%) Ndaawi	22 22/1(-38%)	(5) Ndaawi 22/1, Useful colt. 12¼ lengths seventh of 9 to Dubai Mile in Criterium de Saint-Cloud at Saint-Cloud (9.9f, heavy, 9/1). Well-bred sort who is the type to do better as a 3yo, so no forlorn hope on return. French Group 1 as 2yo may not have been his true running; well-bred colt (late foal).
7th	6 7th (6) (16/1 +68%) Regal Empire	16 16/1(+68%)	(6) Regal Empire 16/1, Won two of his first 3 starts and shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up in handicap at Newmarket last time. More progress required now but not surprising that connections are having a go. Two Tapeta wins; good 2nd on turf debut; this race demands something of a different order.
8th	2 8th (2) (9/1 -29%) Inquiring Minds	9 9/1(-29%)	(2) Inquiring Minds 9/1, Kingman colt who looked a smart prospect when readily going clear in a Newcastle maiden 11 days ago. Marked step up grade in the face of a quick turnaround, but probably talented enough to make his presence felt. Newcastle win was pretty useful form at the first attempt and he could be a big improver.

LTO Selection:

15:35 Lingfield Listed (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

1st - 0.83/1 (4) MILITARY ORDER 2nd - 3.5/1 (1) CIRCLE OF FIRE 3rd - 14/1 (8) WAIPIRO

INQUIRING MINDS bolted up on debut at Newcastle by five lengths for John & Thady Gosden and he beat some much more experienced rivals over 1m2f that day. The son of Kingman has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and he is likely to relish the step up in trip. With potentially a significant amount of improvement to come, he ought to go close. The main threat looks to be Military Order, who put in a taking display at Newbury on his return to action and that winning form gives him a big shout, while Circle of Fire is also respected.

MILITARY ORDER is bred to be classy and, having doubled his tally in ready fashion at Newbury recently, he gets the nod ahead of the progressive Circle of Fire, who has actually achieved a bit more in form terms than the selection. Inquiring Minds is an intriguing runner and there's a case to be made for a few others.

Military Order appears to dominate calculations but several others bring striking promise. The pick of those today may be WAIPIRO.

16:10 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (10/1 +29%) Knockout Blow	10 10/1(+29%)	(8) Knockout Blow 10/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. 66/1, better than result after 13 months off when fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 17 days ago, trapped wide throughout. Could well build on that effort.
2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 +14%) Bobby On The Beat	3 3/1(+14%)	(2) Bobby On The Beat 3/1, 3-time C&D winner, latest in April. Sixth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D (AW) 9 days ago, carrying head awkwardly straight. Should fare better back down in grade.
3	1 3rd (1) (14/1 -75%) The Defiant	14 14/1(-75%)	(1) The Defiant 14/1, Course winner. Returned to form when second of 6 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good, 7/2) 3 weeks ago, doing too much too soon. Had a breathing operation since and he's not taken lightly.
4	3 4th (3) (3.5/1 -5%) Swiss Pride	3.5 3.5/1(-5%)	(3) Swiss Pride 3.5/1, 6-time C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, struggled to get involved from the widest draw when eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 17 days ago, merely closing up late. Shortlist material with the booking of Buick catching the eye.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/1 -100%) Inaam	11 11/1(-100%)	(5) Inaam 11/1, 5-time course winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. 11/1, again ran well when third of 13 in handicap at this course (7f, AW) 17 days ago. Has been very reliable this year and should give another good account.
6th	6 6th (6) (1.88/1 +62%) Navy Drums	1.88 1.88/1(+62%)	(6) Navy Drums 1.88/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year, latest here in March. 7/1, below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Leicester (6f, heavy) 2 weeks ago. Better anticipated back on AW and booking of Murphy is certainly a positive.
7th	4 7th (4) (28/1 -75%) Bethersden Boy	28 28/1(-75%)	(4) Bethersden Boy 28/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Went backwards from reappearance when last of 6 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, soft, 16/1) 12 days ago.
8th	7 8th (7) (20/1 -82%) Suzi's Connoisseur	20 20/1(-82%)	(7) Suzi's Connoisseur 20/1, C&D winner in March. 12/1, ran one of better races when second of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, heavy) 4 weeks ago. Others more persuasive for win purposes.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict the winner based solely on this summary as all the horses have different strengths and weaknesses. However, some horses that could potentially do well are 3.33/1 (3) SWISS PRIDE, 5/1 (6) NAVY DRUMS, and 5.5/1 (5) INAAM based on their recent form and past performances on the course. It is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable and anything can happen on the day of the race.

Inaam has been in consistent form of late, with the latest of his efforts coming over 7f at this track when third, and he can go well off the same mark. However, preference is still for BOBBY ON THE BEAT, who failed to fire in a hotter contest last time and he is likely to appreciate the drop in class. The five-year-old is fancied to reproduce the form of his penultimate run over C&D to strike. Suzi's Connoisseur is another to note.

Plenty in with a squeak but 6-time C&D winner SWISS PRIDE is selected to add another victory to his tally back down in grade with the booking of William Buick catching the eye. The Defiant has had a breathing operation since his runner-up effort at Brighton 3 weeks ago so Daniel Steele's charge may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Navy Drums and the consistent Inaam.

Navy Drums is respected back over C&D but perhaps this is the day that SWISS PRIDE will end a losing run.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (3.5/1 +75%) Big Time Maybe	3.5 3.5/1(+75%)	(5) Big Time Maybe 3.5/1, C&D winner. Not seen to best effect when last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 16/1) 32 days ago, poorly drawn. Started the year in decent form here and he could get back on track. Placed twice over 6f in February but never involved when dropped back to 5f last month.
2	4 2nd (4) (2.75/1 +39%) Perfect Symphony	2.75 2.75/1(+39%)	(4) Perfect Symphony 2.75/1, C&D winner on his penultimate outing. 10/1, shaped as if still in good form when second of 6 in handicap also at this C&D 9 days ago, meeting some trouble in the straight. Major player. Shock C&D winner last month and backed up that run with second here nine days ago.
3	6 3rd (6) (7.5/1 -25%) Reckon I'm Hot	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(6) Reckon I'm Hot 7.5/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Stepped up on reappearance run when sixth of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 32 days ago. Needs to find more with cheekpieces on 1st time. Back from break with two respectable runs this spring; off another career-low mark here.
4	3 4th (3) (6.5/1 -63%) Battle Point	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(3) Battle Point 6.5/1, C&D winner last month. However, not in the same form when fourth of 6 in handicap back here (10/3) 9 days ago. Bounce back called for. Gamely made all over C&D two starts ago but his overall profile is not compelling.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/1 -17%) Storm Melody	7 7/1(-17%)	(1) Storm Melody 7/1, Three-time C&D winner, with his latest success here in March. Run best excused when 3 lengths seventh of 9 to Perfect Symphony in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, slowly away. Capable if on a going day. Below best after slow start last month but won off 1lb lower over C&D in March.
6th	8 6th (8) (8.5/1 +39%) Oxygen Thief	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(8) Oxygen Thief 8.5/1, Failed to confirm previous form when fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 8/1) 59 days ago, going off too hard. Has widest draw to overcome as he tries 5f for the first time. Placed after making the running over 6f two starts ago; drops to 5f for first time today.
7th	7 7th (7) (8/1 -100%) Reversion	8 8/1(-100%)	(7) Reversion 8/1, Nineteen runs since sole win in 2021. With visor replacing blinkers, back on track when second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 7/1) 11 days ago. Can be thereabouts once again. Tends to start slowly but stayed on to run a big race in defeat at Wolverhampton recently.
8th	2 8th (2) (14/1 +0%) Griggy	14 14/1(+0%)	(2) Griggy 14/1, Course winner. Below form when tenth of 13 in handicap (28/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces now back on, though, and he's 3 lb below his last winning mark. On a good mark but ran poorly last time and has done all his winning over 6f.

LTO Selection:

16:40 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Predicted 1st Place: 4.5/1 (4) PERFECT SYMPHONY Predicted 2nd Place: 4/1 (7) REVERSION Predicted 3rd Place: 6/1 (1) STORM MELODY

A chance can be taken on PERFECT SYMPHONY, who hasn't finished out of the top two in his most recent efforts over C&D. The son of Dandy Man was kindly dropped 1lb in the weights for his last run when beaten four lengths into second and he is fancied to go one better. One to consider is Reversion, who only went down by a neck at Wolverhampton last time in this grade, and can remain competitive off 2lb higher. Reckon I'm Hot should also go well.

PERFECT SYMPHONY bounced back to form when successful over C&D last month and shaped as if still in good heart when runner-up here 9 days ago, meeting some trouble in the straight, so he is taken to resume winning ways in his current mood. Reversion got back in track in a change of headgear last time and could be the main danger, ahead of Big Time Maybe.

The pick is RECKON I'M HOT, who didn't get a clear run inside the final furlong when sixth last month but still wasn't beaten far.

17:15 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 13f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (8/1 -23%) Citizen General	8 8/1(-23%)	(2) Citizen General 8/1, Much-improved in handicaps during second half of last year, signing off with back-to-back victories at Newcastle in the autumn. Good second there (12.4f) 11 days ago. Respected in first-time visor. Won twice over 1m4f at Newcastle and good second there 11 days ago; headgear first time.
2	7 2nd (7) (3.5/1 +30%) God Of Thunder	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(7) God Of Thunder 3.5/1, Consistent sort who posted another fine effort when second of 14 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft) 12 days ago. Should give another good account if staying the longer trip. 0-9 but he's been thereabouts in all his handicaps and runner-up in three.
3	4 3rd (4) (8.5/1 +39%) Age Of Sail	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(4) Age Of Sail 8.5/1, Looked rusty on return from hurdling when seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (12f, AW) 25 days ago, merely closing up late. Entitled to be sharper now but others make more appeal. Maiden; consistent up to 1m4f on Flat; did not shine when tried once in a visor.
4	1 4th (1) (4/1 +20%) Wholeofthemoon	4 4/1(+20%)	(1) Wholeofthemoon 4/1, In frame all 7 starts on the Flat and showed aptitude in pair of juvenile hurdles in the winter. Remains on fair mark in this sphere and holds place claims after 158 days off. Consistent maiden; has proved himself on this AW track and can stay beyond 1m4f.
5th	5 5th (5) (20/1 -25%) Pistoletto	20 20/1(-25%)	(5) Pistoletto 20/1, Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 15/2) 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Sliding down the weights without any sign of taking advantage. Has basically struggled to make a significant impact from last September onwards.
6th	8 6th (8) (25/1 -14%) Crimson King	25 25/1(-14%)	(8) Crimson King 25/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. In first-time cheekpieces, respectable third of 8 in handicap at this course (12f, AW). Off 91 days. Others more persuasive. Five wins, all over 1m4f/1m5f on AW and three at this track; consistent form this winter.
7th	6 7th (6) (3.33/1 -33%) Wagga Wagga	3.33 3.33/1(-33%)	(6) Wagga Wagga 3.33/1, 2 wins last year (at Pontefract and Newbury). Excuses last start. Off 8 months/gelded. Should progress. With his trainer having had recent reappearance winners, he needs a second look.
8th	3 8th (3) (5.5/1 +39%) Rafiki	5.5 5.5/1(+39%)	(3) Rafiki 5.5/1, Fairly useful at best on the Flat and took reasonably well to hurdling last summer, though ended campaign with pair of disappointing efforts in handicap hurdles. Been given chance by handicapper back on Flat. First run since wind surgery in November; unraced beyond 1m2f on Flat, two AW wins.
9th	9 9th (9) (25/1 -150%) Geelong	25 25/1(-150%)	(9) Geelong 25/1, Didn't improve quite as much as expected for longer trip when sixth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (14f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Two lesser shows this spring, which see blinkers replaced by cheekpieces today.
10th	10 10th (10) (100/1 -100%) Good Time Ahead	100 100/1(-100%)	(10) Good Time Ahead 100/1, Fared no better on return from hurdling when last of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (14f, good to soft) 8 days ago and he looks up against it. Heavy defeats on last two starts (first was over hurdles) suggest he's best watched.

LTO Selection:

17:15 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 13f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that are most likely to do well and finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are: 1st: 6.5/1 (2) CITIZEN GENERAL - with two wins over 1m4f at Newcastle and a good second there 11 days ago, and with the added advantage of first-time visor, he is the most promising candidate for the top spot. 2nd: 5/1 (1) WHOLEOFTHEMOON - a consistent maiden who has proved himself on this AW track and can stay beyond 1m4f, he holds place claims after 158 days off. 3rd: 10/1 (9) GEELONG - with cheekpieces on for the first time and a consistent form up to 1m4f on the flat, he can give a good account without posing a serious threat to the top two.

Hughie Morrison won this contest last year when it was on turf and has chances again here with WAGGA WAGGA, who has been gelded since his fifth at Newbury in August. He can go well for a stable in decent form, though if a first-time visor brings out the best in Citizen General, he could be a huge danger along with God Of Thunder, who tries this trip for the first time and may find improvement for it.

WAGGA WAGGA was a dual winner last season and is best excused his odds-on defeat in a messy race at Newbury when last seen. He's fancied to resume his improvement, though the consistent trio of Wholeofthemoon, Citizen General and God of Thunder should all be capable of giving him something to think about.

There is a great deal which points to big runs from WHOLEOFTHEMOON and Citizen General, with Wagga Wagga third on the list.

17:45 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 10f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (8/1 -78%) Sarkha	8 8/1(-78%)	(1) Sarkha 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, last of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good) 11 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to have a positive effect. Yet to make a significant impact after five races; wears headgear first time.
2	2 2nd (2) (18/1 -50%) Naasma	18 18/1(-50%)	(2) Naasma 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable sixth of 12 in C&D handicap when last seen in September. Returns as a fairly unexposed type. Not disgraced over C&D final 3yo start; could have more to offer in this second campaign.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/1 -17%) Come On John	7 7/1(-17%)	(5) Come On John 7/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Bath (1m, soft) 12 days ago, very slowly away. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Needs to break on terms. 1-21; had plenty of form a bit earlier this year which would put him in the mix.
4	10 4th (10) (11/1 +21%) Sun Festival	11 11/1(+21%)	(10) Sun Festival 11/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. 6/1, below-form fifth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (1¼mf, good) 10 days ago. Not easy to fancy on recent efforts. 1-25; pipped over C&D last June on last visit here; not firing on all cylinders lately.
5th	3 5th (3) (1.38/1 +54%) Chagall	1.38 1.38/1(+54%)	(3) Chagall 1.38/1, Course winner in March. Better than result from too far back when sixth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (1¼m, soft) 12 days ago. Player under Oisin Murphy. Drawn wide but has much better claims than most if judged on recent form.
6th	7 6th (7) (33/1 -32%) Doonbeg Farmer	33 33/1(-32%)	(7) Doonbeg Farmer 33/1, Untrustworthy C&D winner. Tongue strap on first time, first run since leaving Harriet Dickin when sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 40/1) 18 days ago. Tongue tied first time, last month's debut for new stable gave some renewed hope.
7th	8 7th (8) (4/1 +33%) No Such Luck	4 4/1(+33%)	(8) No Such Luck 4/1, C&D winner in January and creditable fourth of 12 at Windsor next time. Well-held sixth on recent turf debut but better can be expected back on AW. One of the more likely types. Well beaten on latest start but that was on turf debut; a lot more interesting this time.
8th	4 8th (4) (16/1 -45%) Wallaroo	16 16/1(-45%)	(4) Wallaroo 16/1, Fair maiden. Creditable fourth of 13 on 8.6f Wolverhampton reappearance in March. Presumably found race coming too soon when seventh of 10 there just 2 days later. Freshened up since. Makes polytrack debut. Each-way claims. Six-race maiden who had an excuse on latest start; bred to get this trip; considered.
9th	11 9th (11) (50/1 -213%) Catch My Breath	50 50/1(-213%)	(11) Catch My Breath 50/1, Unreliable type. Course winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2022. Twelfth of 13 in handicap (14/1) at Southwell (1m) 29 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. Placed twice from eight outings this year but it's hard to make him the percentage call.
10th	6 10th (6) (40/1 -100%) Mofridge	40 40/1(-100%)	(6) Mofridge 40/1, 18/1, last of 7 in handicap at Brighton (1m, good) 11 days ago. Back up in trip. Hard to make a case for on recent exploits. Ex-German; underwhelming this year in his four runs (three AW) for new yard.
11th	12 11th (12) (150/1 -200%) Miss Malou	150 150/1(-200%)	(12) Miss Malou 150/1, Poor maiden. Last of 10 in handicap at Brighton (1½m, good, 100/1) 11 days ago. Has work to do. Has finished no better than seventh in her eight starts.
12th	9 12th (9) (18/1 +28%) Gilbert	18 18/1(+28%)	(9) Gilbert 18/1, C&D winner last July. Largely well held since but is back on a good mark if first-time cheekpieces have a reviving effect. Did well last summer, including C&D; has lost his way and now wears headgear first time.

LTO Selection:

17:45 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, some horses that have potential are 18/1 (11) CATCH MY BREATH, 6/1 (8) NO SUCH LUCK, 3.33/1 (3) CHAGALL, and 12/1 (4) WALLAROO. These horses have shown previous success and have had creditable performances in recent races. Ultimately, the outcome will depend on various factors such as the race conditions and jockey performance.

Doonbeg Farmer's last success was over C&D off this mark in March 2022 which suggests he has some chance in a race that may not take much winning, but preference is for CHAGALL. He pulled too hard when only sixth at Windsor last time out, but the seven-year-old has won here over a mile and placed over this trip at Bath, and a repeat of either performance could be enough. Sarkha sports first-time cheekpieces and may prove best of the remainder.

CHAGALL has been better than the result on a few occasions since his 1m course win in March and can get his head back in front with Oisin Murphy taking over in the saddle now. No Such Luck was well held on his turf debut last time but had been in good nick on AW prior to that and is second choice ahead of Wallaroo.

This field does not inspire much confidence but NO SUCH LUCK gets the vote ahead of Chagall and Wallaroo.

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.
