14:00 Lingfield (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Al Shabab Spirit was far from disgraced when finishing third at Chelmsford a fortnight ago and is likely to be thereabouts if building on that performance, but CALCHAS shades preference. Ralph Beckett's gelding kept on to hit the frame over 7f at Doncaster latest but stepping up to a mile should suit and he can go a couple of places better. Market support for either Merci Monsieur or Sayedaati Saadati should be noted.

Preference is for CALCHAS, who sets a good standard on his third at Doncaster last month and is open to more progress at this new trip.

14:35 Lingfield (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Ribenska sets the standard with an official rating of 78 but, although respected, MEZCALA could prove too strong. Jack Channon's charge filled the runner-up spot at Nottingham three weeks ago, in behind a rival that has since followed up under a penalty. With that in mind, any further progress might suffice. Inns Of Fear has yet to run poorly across his four starts and he ought to be on the premises once again.

Subsequent wins for the first, fourth and fifth in the Nottingham race in which MEZCALA finished second give that form some ballast.

2	6 2nd (6) (15/2 +17%) Cooramook	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(6) Cooramook 15/2, Not the worst effort on recent form when midfield and only beaten 4l off 61 over 7f at Haydock last time; yet to open account in eight starts; cheekpieces fitted for the first time; needs to bounce back to spring form Eight-race maiden and she needs to find more with headgear added back at this trip.

6th	1 6th (1) (9/2 -35%) Twirler	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(1) Twirler 9/2, Ended a lengthy losing run to get back to winning ways at Windsor and completed a quickfire double, well backed when landing a handicap by a neck off 64 at Epsom last time; contender for the hat-trick Won over 6f at Windsor and Epsom last month and she's a big player again in hat-trick bid.
7th	3 7th (3) (18/1 -80%) Skellig Isle	18 18/1(-80%)	(3) Skellig Isle 18/1, Did not get a clear run beaten 3 1/2l off 67 over 5f at Newbury last time; generally in pretty poor form four starts this campaign, with most recent effort perhaps the best; sole win came over 5f at Nottingham third start last August; outside chance On dangerous mark and she could be in the mix on this step back up in trip.
8th	5 8th (5) (20/1 +50%) The Thames Lady	20 20/1(+50%)	(5) The Thames Lady 20/1, Down the field in a handicap on turf here most recent, coming home 52l back as the second last of 10 runners; generally out of form since winning over C&D in February; significant jockey booking; bit to find Won over C&D in February but she's struggled since and needs a major revival.

15:10 Lingfield (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Reinvented as a sprinter, TWIRLER arrives having completed a quickfire double at Windsor and Epsom. Raised 4lb for the latest of those victories, that hike is unlikely to be any barrier to further success, while a return to the all-weather shouldn't come as any hindrance either. Starsong was able to build on a series of promising efforts to score at Brighton recently and she remains of interest, as does Edergole's Gift, who steps back into handicaps having hit the woodwork in classified event on turf here latest.

Top of the list is the resurgent 4yo TWIRLER (nap), who has won her last two starts and remains well handicapped on her old form.

3	6 3rd (6) (5/2 -25%) Grey Owl	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(6) Grey Owl 5/2, Failed to justify favouritism last twice; beaten 3l off 56 over 1m6f at Bath last time; 2l second over 14f at Salisbury time before that; sole win came at Salisbury last August; off a short-break; the pick on balance of form Generally reliable type who looks worth another try at this trip; shortlisted.

6th	8 6th (8) (20/1 -67%) Smith	20 20/1(-67%)	(8) Smith 20/1, Beaten 8l in a handicap here last time; usually consistent; goes very well at this venue, with seven of eight career wins over this C&D; contender that may be worth noting at a price all things considered Seven-time C&D winner and he's a big player if he can rediscover his spark.
7th	4 7th (4) (4/1 +27%) Fram Castle	4 4/1(+27%)	(4) Fram Castle 4/1, Well backed, plenty to do, but suited by longer trip over 16f when scored by a nose off 54 at Kempton in June; distant second beaten 12l off 56 over 13f on turf here last time; cheekpieces first time Kempton winner (2m) in June and he could be a big factor on this step back up in trip.

11th	12 11th (12) (40/1 -43%) Izakaya	40 40/1(-43%)	(12) Izakaya 40/1, Couple of uninspiring bumper efforts before switching to this sphere; had been equally as poor and ran to that form beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap here last time; usually held up; hard to recommend Well held in all seven starts, including two handicaps on turf here (2m, good) this summer.

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

Smith loves it here, with seven of his eight career victories coming over C&D, and six of them off higher marks, but he was beaten eight lengths last month and needs to get back to his best. Fair Dinkum has also won over C&D and drops in class. He could do better back on the all-weather, but FRAM CASTLE is preferred. A running-on second over shorter after a poor start on turf here latest, first-time cheekpieces may bring about the improvement needed.

An open race in which GREY OWL gets the vote ahead of Fram Castle and course specialist Smith.

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

With the Crisford string in good form, it might be worth giving HARPSICHORD another chance on her return to the all-weather. A C&D winner in April and second in the Listed Oaks Trial here on turf, albeit beaten nine lengths, she disappointed slightly on her handicap debut at Haydock but could do better now back on the Polytrack. Wadacre Gomez wasn't beaten far when fourth in a better race at Chelmsford and, if he stays, he could go well, leaving Fox Avatar for third.

Having settled much better on his last two outings, FOX AVATAR has scope to progress again from last month's stylish Chelmsford win.

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

Flicka's Girl scored by a length and a quarter at Wolverhampton recently and if she can repeat that, a 6lb penalty may not be enough to stop her going close. Blinkers seemed to do the trick with SARABI when she readily won a classified event over 6f here last time and, despite the return to handicap company, she could prove tough to beat again. Apple's Angel is a tentative suggestion for third.

Topweight FLICKA'S GIRL won with a bit left in the tank at Wolverhampton 11 days ago and can follow up under a 6lb penalty.

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.
