(4) Lady Nagin 18/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 8 in handicap (33/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 40 days ago. Yet to fire in three runs this term, beating just one at Chelmsford (5f) 40 days ago.

22
22/1(+33%)
(5) Colors Of Freedom 22/1, C&D winner. Last of 8 in handicap (50/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 24 days ago. Has offered little in 6f handicaps this April for her current yard.

3rd (2) (7/1 -56%) Wakai Umi
7
7/1(-56%)
(2) Wakai Umi 7/1, 13/2, not in same form as reappearance when sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 22 days ago. Headgear on 1st time. Beat only one in Wolverhampton handicap 22 days ago; cheekpieces are reached for now.

4th (6) (15/2 -150%) Next Second
7.5
15/2(-150%)
(6) Next Second 15/2, 16/1, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 22 days ago after 7 months off. Player if building on that. Resumed from seven months off with solid Wolverhampton third; must enter calculations.
5th

5th (7) (9/1 +10%) Enchanted Night
9
9/1(+10%)
(7) Enchanted Night 9/1, Unreliable sort. One win from 42 Flat runs. 10/1, failed to come on for return when eighth of 10 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Not the most reliable and came in only eighth of ten in 5f Brighton h'cap fortnight ago.
6th

6th (1) (15/8 +16%) So Sleepy
1.875
15/8(+16%)
(1) So Sleepy 15/8, C&D winner. 13/2 not disgraced after 5 months off when fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 22 days ago, slowly away. Entitled to come on for that. C&D winner; not discredited when fourth at Wolverhampton 22 days ago; one to consider.
7th

7th (3) (5/2 +38%) Mellys Flyer
2.5
5/2(+38%)
(3) Mellys Flyer 5/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Just denied at Chelmsford in April but well held next 2 starts, seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Headgear on 1st time. Arrives on a lengthy losing sequence; cheekpieces are fitted for the first time here.
14:50 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
NEXT SECOND signed off 2023 with a second to So Sleepy at Chelmsford but she improved past that rival on her reappearance, finishing a place in front of her when third at Wolverhampton. Wakai Umi was even further behind that day and Ruth Carr's mare gets the nod. That's not to say So Sleepy won't be a big threat because the top-weight should also step forward from that comeback effort. Mellys Flyer is sliding down the weights and could pop up before too long.
MELLYS FLYER could be worth chancing back on the AW in first-time headgear having been just denied off this mark at Chelmsford in April. So Sleepy and Next Second are both entitled to come on for their recent run so are feared most.
This looks a very good opportunity for C&D scorer SO SLEEPY (nap) to build on her encouraging Wolverhampton run and resume winning ways
(5) State Flag 15/8, Thrice-raced filly. Fourth of 13 in minor event (5/2) at Kempton (7f). Off 169 days. Twice failed to build on her debut Kempton 7f second; more is needed after her break.

2nd (1) (6/1 -71%) Cervaro Della Sala
6
6/1(-71%)
(1) Cervaro Della Sala 6/1, Fair filly. 7/2, fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 22 days ago, inadequate test. Tongue strap on 1st time. Strong-finishing fifth latest; major player with this step up to 7f looking a big plus.

3rd (2) (5/2 -25%) Fenisa
2.5
5/2(-25%)
(2) Fenisa 5/2, 35,000 gns yearling, Lope De Vega filly. Half-sister to winner up to 1m Big City and 1¼m winner Act Naturally. Dam, 8.6f-11.6f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Ave. Third of 11 in maiden (10/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut 38 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Likely to improve. Encouraging debut third at Kempton; open to progress and must enter calculations.
4

4th (6) (11/2 -10%) Imola
5.5
11/2(-10%)
(6) Imola 11/2, Promising individual. Second of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 3/1). Off 7 months. May well do better. Promising second in October; can do better still so needs considering on return.
5th

5th (3) (15/2 -7%) Intertwined
7.5
15/2(-7%)
(3) Intertwined 15/2, Third of 10 in maiden at Newbury (7f, good to soft, 12/1) on debut. Too bad to be true at Redcar since. Last of 12 in 7f Redcar novice three weeks ago but is possibly worth another chance.
6th
4
6th (4) (250/1 -150%) Rhapsody In Blue
250
250/1(-150%)
(4) Rhapsody In Blue 250/1, 32,000 gns yearling, Blue Point filly. Closely related to 2-y-o 8.6f winner Felix The Poet, and half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1m winner Desert Haze. 66/1, last of 10 in novice event at Kempton (7f) on debut 15 days ago, very slowly away. Hooded for 1st time. Debut last in Kempton novice, very slowly away; hood goes on with lots more required.
7th

7th (8) (100/1 +0%) Livealittlecrazy
100
100/1(+0%)
(8) Livealittlecrazy 100/1, €10,000 yearling, resold €16,000 yearling, £15,000 2-y-o, Sioux Nation filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 10.3f Banditry and useful winner up to 1¼m Make It Rain. Dam 2-y-o 1m winner. 66/1, last of 6 in novice here (6f, AW) on debut 21 days ago. Tongue tie on. Last of six in 6f novice here on her debut; tongue tied and needs to take big step forward.
8th

8th (9) (50/1 -52%) Rust E Gal
50
50/1(-52%)
(9) Rust E Gal 50/1, €14,500 yearling, French Navy filly. Half-sister to 1m-9.4f winner Moddy Poddle and winner up to 1m Eldrickjones, both useful. Dam, 1m winner, sister to useful 7f-11f winner Free Spin. French Navy filly; market can prove an accurate guide for this newcomer.
9th
7
9th (7) (450/1 -80%) Jonathan's Lady
450
450/1(-80%)
(7) Jonathan's Lady 450/1, Twice-raced filly. Last of 11 in maiden at Yarmouth (8f, good, 300/1) 23 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Has failed to beat a rival on both her outings this spring at Yarmouth; hood reached for.
15:20 Lingfield Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Imola and Cervaro Della Sala aren't separated by much on last year's Wolverhampton running, although the latter does have the advantage of a recent outing now. State Flag ran well on all three appearances as a juvenile, and Fenisa went into a few notebooks when third at Kempton. Another chance is still given to INTERTWINED, who may have found the ground too testing at Redcar and is selected instead thanks to her debut third at Newbury.
FENISA produced a promising first effort when third at Kempton and can find the required improvement to beat the more exposed Cervaro Della Sala. Imola should have more to offer over this extra 1f and is another to consider.
Consistent CERVARO DELLA SALA should prove well suited by this step up in trip and can gain a deserved first win back in maiden company
15:20 Lingfield Maiden (Class 5) 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(3) Katie G 15/2, Very good fourth of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Chelmsford City (7f) 21 days ago. Visor on first time switched to the AW and she's a big player on that run. Respectable fourth (Amroon third) over 7f latest; back down in trip with visor added.
2
4
2nd (4) (4/1 -33%) Amroon
4
4/1(-33%)
(4) Amroon 4/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in November. 9/4, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 21 days ago. Again pulled hard so drop to 6f may help him. 6f AW winner; placed in 7f AW handicaps last twice; likely to go well back at 6f.
3
8
3rd (8) (14/1 +0%) Forgotten Treasure
14
14/1(+0%)
(8) Forgotten Treasure 14/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Bath (5.7f, heavy) 17 days ago. Needs to leave that effort well behind. Below par since Chelmsford third in November; others are more obvious.
4
2
4th (2) (4/1 -14%) Sir Bolton
4
4/1(-14%)
(2) Sir Bolton 4/1, 4/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap from his reduced mark at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Step back up in trip will help and he's one to take seriously. Ran on late for third over 5f on turf here last week; in the mix back at 6f.
5th
7
5th (7) (12/1 -50%) Justahunch
12
12/1(-50%)
(7) Justahunch 12/1, Last of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 13/2) 26 days ago. That was a big backward step having been shaping up quite well and cheekpieces are removed. Placed first two starts for this yard and hampered at start when well held latest.
6th
1
6th (1) (11/4 +61%) Krysdanjord
2.75
11/4(+61%)
(1) Krysdanjord 11/4, Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (15/2) at Brighton (7f, good) 2 days ago. Third on 6f AW return; faded into fourth over 7f on turf on Tues and return to 6f a help.
7th
6
7th (6) (22/1 -57%) Manali
22
22/1(-57%)
(6) Manali 22/1, Good sixth of 12 in maiden (40/1) at Bath (5.7f, good to soft). Off 9 months. Makes polytrack debut and market may guide. Modest form at best at 2 and needs improvement to overcome this mark.
8th
5
8th (5) (8/1 +11%) Little White Dove
8
8/1(+11%)
(5) Little White Dove 8/1, Unreliable type. 7/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 21 days ago, slowly away. Doesn't look an easy ride. Behind Amroon and Katie G on her 7f Chelmsford handicap debut three weeks ago.
9th
9
9th (9) (150/1 -275%) Majolica
150
150/1(-275%)
(9) Majolica 150/1, Maiden who was last of 10 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, heavy, 66/1) 17 days ago. Poor maiden who was well held at Bath latest; hard to warm to.
15:50 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Favourite-backers have had their fingers burned twice with AMROON so far this year, but there will be plenty who keep the faith and his placed efforts at Wolverhampton and Chelmsford suggest he can reward it. The drop from 7f should be in his favour, although Katie G was only half a length behind him last time and might also be happier at this trip. Sir Bolton is gradually working his way back into some form, and Justahunch's latest effort can be forgiven.
Having dropped a fair way in the weights, SIR BOLTON stuck to his task pretty well when third at Lingfield a week ago, and with the return to 6f sure to suit, he could be the answer. Amroon pulled hard over 7f last time so the drop back in trip may help him, with Katie G another to consider in first-time headgear,
Marco Botti's AMROON is taken to confirm recent Chelmsford superiority over Katie G and land a second career success.
(3) Faster Bee 4/1, Fair gelding. Bit below form third of 10 in maiden (15/8) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 48 days ago. Significantly up in trip and has had a few chances now but he's not out of this on his best form. Below best when third here 48 days ago; since gelded and needs to get back on track.
1
5
1st (5) (6/1 +0%) Tatateo
6
6/1(+0%)
(5) Tatateo 6/1, Backward step when seventh of 12 in novice event at Kempton (8f, 5/1) 71 days ago, though a wide trip didn't help. Up in trip. Seventh in Kempton novice in March; raced wide there so shouldn't be written off.
2
4
2nd (4) (2/1 +43%) Mycoloursoryours
2
2/1(+43%)
(4) Mycoloursoryours 2/1, Ran to a similar level as debut when fifth of 10 in maiden at Newbury (11f, good, 8/1) 33 days ago. That was a pretty deep race and he represents an in-form yard. Encouraging fifth in Newbury maiden latest; that form has been franked so he's a player.
3
2
3rd (2) (6/4 +40%) Far L'amore
1.5
6/4(+40%)
(2) Far L'amore 6/4, Matched debut form when fifth of 8 in maiden at Chester (10.3f, good, 8/1) 15 days ago. This is a weaker-looking race so he has to be respected. Son of Territories who has shown fair form on both his runs; very much in the mix.
4
1
4th (1) (4/1 +0%) Baronetti
4
4/1(+0%)
(1) Baronetti 4/1, New Approach gelding. Half-brother to winner up to 1¼m Dubai Souq and 7f-1m winner Western Symphony, both useful. Already gelded but a newcomer for respected stable. New Approach gelding; much respected newcomer, especially if the market vibes are positive.
16:20 Lingfield Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
FAR L'AMORE wasn't disgraced first time out against the ill-fated Chester Vase winner Hidden Law and probably ran to a similar level on the Roodee 15 days ago. He may not need to find much improvement unless Baronetti, a half-brother to two winners, proves above-average on his racecourse debut. Faster Bee could potentially improve for a gelding operation but has shown his hand on a number of occasions, while Tatateo was disappointing at Kempton.
MYCOLOURSORYOURS ran in a pretty hot race at Newbury last month and, if settling down, is fancied to advance his form. He gets the vote in what is a trappy novice, with Far L'Amore feared most unless there's support for newcomer Baronetti.
Twice-raced MYCOLOURSORYOURS arrives on the back of an encouraging Newbury fifth (form franked) so gets the nod
(5) Charles Morin 4/1, 16/1, third of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 36 days ago. Form of 1m Kempton handicap debut third franked; likely to be thereabouts..
2
1
2nd (1) (11/8 +21%) Beach Point
1.375
11/8(+21%)
(1) Beach Point 11/8, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 5/2, career best when winning 15-runner handicap at Doncaster (8f, firm) 5 days ago, overcoming some trouble in running. Can defy a penalty. Won going away over 1m on Saturday; extra yardage now a help; good shout under 6lb penalty.
3
3
3rd (3) (33/1 -32%) Takeover Target
33
33/1(-32%)
(3) Takeover Target 33/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap (28/1) at Doncaster (10.2f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Others more persuasive. Yet to get competitive in handicaps; others are preferred again.
4
6
4th (6) (10/1 -54%) Newfangled
10
10/1(-54%)
(6) Newfangled 10/1, Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Bath (8f, heavy, 4/1) 17 days ago, nearest finish. Can give a good account. 4l behind Beach Point when fourth at Bath latest and needs improvement to go close.
5th
7
5th (7) (4/1 -60%) Magic Rascal
4
4/1(-60%)
(7) Magic Rascal 4/1, Promising sort. Second of 12 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good, 7/1) 8 days ago, pulling hard. Tongue strap on 1st time. Merits consideration. Clear of third when close second at Bath last week; well-in off same mark; tongue-tie on.
6th
8
6th (8) (22/1 -57%) Dire Wolf
22
22/1(-57%)
(8) Dire Wolf 22/1, Winner here in January. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to soft, 20/1) 24 days ago. Won off 2lb higher on AW here in January but only sixth at Windsor latest.
7th
9
7th (9) (16/1 +36%) Clear Justice
16
16/1(+36%)
(9) Clear Justice 16/1, Poor maiden. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Bath (8f, heavy, 7/1) on return 17 days ago. Second in 7f turf handicap last autumn but behind a few of these on Bath return.
8th
2
8th (2) (100/1 -150%) Nina Rapida
100
100/1(-150%)
(2) Nina Rapida 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Well beaten in pair of 1m Windsor handicaps for new yard last month; can only be watched.
9th
4
9th (4) (40/1 -186%) Aussie Star
40
40/1(-186%)
(4) Aussie Star 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 16/1, fourth of 6 in maiden at Kempton (11f) 22 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Hasn't achieved much when fourth in AW maidens this year; opening mark demands improvement.
10th
10
10th (10) (150/1 -200%) Escape The Grape
150
150/1(-200%)
(10) Escape The Grape 150/1, 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap at Bath (8f, heavy) 17 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Well beaten in all three handicaps and likely booked for another struggle.
16:50 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
BEACH POINT was hugely impressive when justifying favouritism at Doncaster last Saturday, particularly as plenty went wrong in the run. The extra furlong is unlikely to pose any problems and he is fancied to defy a 6lb penalty. Magic Rascal looked slightly unlucky not to win at Bath, meeting interference over 1f out and being carried left by the winner inside the last. He now wears a tongue-tie and rates the biggest threat, ahead of Charles Morin.
The progressive BEACH POINT was value extra when off the mark at Doncaster 5 days ago so looks up to defying a penalty. Magic Rascal showed big improvement despite refusing to settle when just edged out at Bath and looks the obvious threat with Newfangled best of the others.
Recent improvers Beach Point and MAGIC RASCAL look the pair to focus on here, with a narrow preference for the latter.
(4) Premiere Ligne 10/3, Dual winner in France. Yet to taste success on these shores but returned to action (on back of a wind op) with a creditable third of 14 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good, 10/1) 38 days ago. Proven at this sort of trip and respected. Back after wind op with encouraging Windsor third (form franked); big shout off same mark.
2
1
2nd (1) (4/1 +38%) Chips And Rice
4
4/1(+38%)
(1) Chips And Rice 4/1, Won twice on AW/turf last season and posted best effort (in first-time tongue tie) when runner-up at Epsom (8.5f) in September. Shaped as if better for the run after 7 months off when fifth at Brighton (10f) 23 days ago and she's not had many goes at this trip. Not disgraced when a returning fifth at Brighton; needs considering off a 2lb lower mark.
3
2
3rd (2) (5/1 -50%) Genesius
5
5/1(-50%)
(2) Genesius 5/1, Back to winning ways at Thirsk last June and held form well thereafter, ending last season with a solid second at Catterick (12f) when last seen in October. Respected on return operating from same mark. Reliable sort who ended 2023 with a good Catterick second; much respected on his return.
4
7
4th (7) (10/1 +17%) New Dayrell
10
10/1(+17%)
(7) New Dayrell 10/1, Winner at Sandown (10f) last August but didn't really kick on thereafter. Mark has fallen plenty as a result but typically raced freely on return when fourth of 5 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, heavy) 18 days ago. Usual hood again left off here. Without usual hood when only fourth of five at Salisbury on return; headgear is again off.
5th
6
5th (6) (9/1 -29%) Mildyjama
9
9/1(-29%)
(6) Mildyjama 9/1, Dual winner at up to 11f for Ralph Beckett in 2023. Creditable midfield effort on return/yard debut at Windsor last month and testing ground may not have been ideal when third at Salisbury (9.9f) latest. Not one to write off from easing mark. Cheekpieces on when solid Salisbury third latest; she ought to be in the shake-up again.
6th
3
6th (3) (12/1 -9%) Tarbaan
12
12/1(-9%)
(3) Tarbaan 12/1, 9/1, last of 7 in handicap at this course (10f, good to firm) 12 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Visor replaces blinkers now. Last of seven here 12 days ago; visor replaces blinkers now with something to prove.
7th
5
7th (5) (9/2 -50%) Letaba
4.5
9/2(-50%)
(5) Letaba 9/2, Shed maiden tag at Chelmsford (10f) in December and showed benefit of a recent run when winning 7-runner handicap at Kempton (11f) 22 days ago. Possibilities from 2 lb higher back up in trip/returned to turf. Resumed winning ways in Kempton handicap 22 days ago; up 2lb but he's not taken lightly.
17:20 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Letaba is an obvious player having won two of his last three starts, but those victories came on the all-weather and his record of 0 from 10 on turf must be a concern. Genesius is worthy of consideration despite having a 205-day absence to overcome, but narrow preference is for PREMIERE LIGNE. He wasn't far behind the now 87-rated Kotari at Windsor 38 days ago and could well improve for that first outing since September.
PREMIERE LIGNE has yet to win on these shores but he ran well after 7 months off/following wind surgery when third at Windsor 38 days ago, and with the return to this longer trip in his favour, he looks a big player. Recent Kempton winner Letaba and the returning Genesius are others fancied to be in the shake-up.
Ex-French PREMIERE LIGNE teed himself up well for this when an encouraging reappearance Windsor third and gets the nod

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.
