11:30 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (9/4 +44%) Western Stars	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(1) Western Stars 9/4, Latest win at Windsor in October. 22/1, shaped better than the result when eighth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (2mf) 30 days ago, having hopeless task from position. That was a Class 3 and he's a big player now taking a drop in class. Two wins this autumn and appeared to stay 2m latest; down in class; contender.
2	7 2nd (7) (3/1 +14%) Tamaris	3 3/1(+14%)	(7) Tamaris 3/1, Won twice over fences around 2½m w this autumn and made a solid return to the Flat when third of 11 over 1½m here a week ago, best work finish. Return to 2m should suit. Promising return to the Flat here last week (1m4f) and the return to 2m should suit.
3	6 3rd (6) (15/8 -25%) Artisan Dancer	1.875 15/8(-25%)	(6) Artisan Dancer 15/8, Third leg of a quick hat-trick at the end of the summer came over C&D. Good runner-up efforts on last 3 outings (C&D latest). Should go well again. Forming a fine record on AW, including a win and a 2nd over C&D; still unexposed at 2m.
4	2 4th (2) (50/1 -150%) Alpine Stroll	50 50/1(-150%)	(2) Alpine Stroll 50/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 9 in handicap at York (2m, soft, 12/1) 67 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ed De Giles. Two turf wins in 2022; starts out for new yard off a reduced mark; betting to guide.
5th	5 5th (5) (16/1 -33%) Smith	16 16/1(-33%)	(5) Smith 16/1, Six-time C&D winner. Should strip fitter for his recent first outing in 6 months and he's now 1 lb below the mark he defied here in February. 6-time C&D winner, including this race in 2022; quiet since Feb success; revival possible.
6th	3 6th (3) (9/1 +0%) Dark Mystery	9 9/1(+0%)	(3) Dark Mystery 9/1, 17/2, fourth of 7 in handicap on turf here (11.5f) in June. Significantly up in trip and also tackling polytrack for the first time on return from break. Returns from a break over a new trip; dangerous mark if his stamina holds out.
7th	4 7th (4) (20/1 -233%) Anisoptera	20 20/1(-233%)	(4) Anisoptera 20/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Kempton in April. 5/2, fifth of 7 in C&D handicap when last seen in June. Much depends on whether she's ready to roll. Conditions fine but she was below par when last seen 6 months ago; best watched on return.

LTO Selection:

11:30 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

ARTISAN DANCER has been unlucky to hit the crossbar on each of his last three outings, including over C&D last time for which he was put up 1lb. The son of Mastercraftsman looks well placed to go one better and record his fourth career victory. Tamaris hit the frame over 1m4f here on his latest outing and could easily have a say as he steps back up in trip off the same mark, while Alpine Stroll is an interesting contender on his first start for the Alexandra Dunn yard.

WESTERN STARS has been better than his results suggest since his Windsor win in October and might be able to get his head back in front now dropping back into a Class 5. The thriving Artisan Dancer rates an obvious threat, while Tamaris should benefit from the return to 2m. C&D specialist Smith is also starting to look well treated again so this is quite competitive despite the smallish field.

Tamaris is respected back up in trip but ARTISAN DANCER is fancied to end his dose of seconditis.

12:00 Lingfield Stakes (Class 5) 8f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (4/9 +34%) Dashing Darcey	0.444444 4/9(+34%)	(1) Dashing Darcey 4/9, Promising sort. 10/11, won 11-runner maiden at this C&D (AW) 15 days ago, plenty in hand. Improving and has more to come so good chance he can score again under penalty. Won by 4l over C&D last time and he's open to more progress; big player under penalty.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/4 +36%) Character Testing	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(2) Character Testing 9/4, Thrice-raced maiden. Off 12 weeks, good second of 13 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 5/1) 30 days ago, finishing well. Can surely win a race. Runner-up in all three starts including two on Polytrack; respected upped in trip.
3	5 3rd (5) (15/2 -25%) L'Eagle Aid	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(5) L'Eagle Aid 15/2, 4½ lengths third of 11 to Dashing Darcey in maiden at this C&D (33/1) on debut 15 days ago, running on. That was a promising start and he has place claims again. Made a promising start when third behind Dashing Darcey over C&D 15 days ago; in the mix.
4	7 4th (7) (100/1 -100%) Snooker Mccrew	100 100/1(-100%)	(7) Snooker Mccrew 100/1, 7½ lengths seventh of 11 to Dashing Darcey in maiden (250/1) at this C&D on debut 15 days ago, green. More needed. 250-1 for his recent C&D debut and was a never-dangerous seventh behind Dashing Darcey.
5th	9 5th (9) (25/1 -178%) Pratigya	25 25/1(-178%)	(9) Pratigya 25/1, 4/1, sixth of 12 at Kempton (8f) on debut 49 days ago. Open to improvement. Didn't live up to market expectations at Kempton and needs to leave that debut form behind.
6th	4 6th (4) (125/1 -56%) Harlington	125 125/1(-56%)	(4) Harlington 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, seventh of 11 at Kempton (8f) 14 days ago. One for handicaps. Well held at 200-1 in both his runs and he's probably one for further in due course.
7th	3 7th (3) (80/1 -60%) Myna	80 80/1(-60%)	(3) Myna 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in minor event (33/1) at this C&D (AW) 55 days ago. Well held in his two runs in October and handicaps look the way forward after this.
8th	8 8th (8) (28/1 -100%) Belarmindar	28 28/1(-100%)	(8) Belarmindar 28/1, Foaled March 15. Belardo filly. Half-sister to 6f-8.6f winner Voltaic. Dam once-raced half-sister to smart winner up to 1¾m Quiz Mistress. She looks interesting. This looks a tough enough starting point and she's bred to do better with age.
9th	10 9th (10) (66/1 -371%) Sky Blue Dreams	66 66/1(-371%)	(10) Sky Blue Dreams 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 10 in maiden (40/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 34 days ago. Some promise at Chelmsford (7f) last time but she needs another good step forward here.
10th	6 10th (6) (150/1 -50%) Sicilian Sosizza	150 150/1(-50%)	(6) Sicilian Sosizza 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Kempton (8f) 14 days ago, slowly away. Massive prices and he's finished tailed in two runs on Polytrack this autumn/winter.

LTO Selection:

12:00 Lingfield Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Dashing Darcey beat L'Eagle Aid (third) by over four lengths over C&D earlier in the month and it's hard to imagine that form will be overturned. However, the vote goes to CHARACTER TESTING, who has filled the runner-up spot on each of his three career starts to date and he now takes a step up in distance, which can eke out the improvement needed to get off the mark. Any market confidence behind Belarmindar on her debut would also be of interest.

There is more to come from DASHING DARCEY and he can score again over C&D. Character Testing is surely due a change of luck. L'Eagle Aid and newcomer Belarmindar complete the shortlist.

This can go to DASHING DARCEY, who was impressive over C&D two weeks ago and is open to more progress.

12:35 Lingfield Stakes (Class 5) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (8/1 +17%) The Ferret	8 8/1(+17%)	(4) The Ferret 8/1, Modest form when fifth on 7f Kempton debut in July. Well beaten on soft ground at Salisbury 9 days later and off since. Modest form in two 7f runs in July; gelded since latest; improvement is required.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/2 +25%) Rosy Kiss	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(7) Rosy Kiss 9/2, 25/1, showed a bit when eighth of 13 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 14 days ago. May do better. Couldn't go the pace in the straight on Kempton debut (7f) but plugged on; 1m should suit.
3	8 3rd (8) (2/1 -82%) Clear Storm	2 2/1(-82%)	(8) Clear Storm 2/1, 18/5, very green when sixth of 14 in maiden (18/5) at Kempton (1m) on debut 42 days ago, nearest finish. Should be wiser now and this looks a very winnable race. Didn't live up to market billing on debut but left impression she could do much better.
4	5 4th (5) (66/1 -164%) Northfield Lake	66 66/1(-164%)	(5) Northfield Lake 66/1, Hunter's Light colt. Half-brother to winner abroad by Sidestep. Dam sprint maiden half-sister to smart 1¼m/11f winner Spillway. Likely he's best watched on debut. Half-brother to a winner in Hungary; yard not associated with winning 2yo newcomers.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/2 +61%) Fram Castle	3.5 7/2(+61%)	(1) Fram Castle 7/2, 16/1, held back by inexperience when eleventh of 13 in maiden at Kempton (7f) on debut 30 days ago. May do better. 16-1, green and well beaten on last month's debut (7f, AW); bred to do much better.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/1 +0%) Wannabeawallaby	9 9/1(+0%)	(6) Wannabeawallaby 9/1, Price dropped from £67,000 as a yearling to 15,000 gns 2-y-o but this son of Australia starts out in quite a weak race and needs a betting check. 15,000gs 2yo; dam a middle-distance winner; probably one to watch on debut.
7th	9 7th (9) (16/1 +0%) Mon Etoile	16 16/1(+0%)	(9) Mon Etoile 16/1, Magna Grecia filly who was soon detached and pulled up early on her Wolverhampton debut 8 weeks ago. Can only watch after that. Pulled up early on her Wolverhampton debut 8 weeks ago; bred to be useful; check market.
8th	2 8th (2) (8/1 -42%) Lennon	8 8/1(-42%)	(2) Lennon 8/1, Twice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Freddie & Martyn Meade when seventh of 11 in maiden (11/2) at Wolverhampton (7f) 29 days ago. Early days for this good stable but improvement will be needed. No significant impact in two runs over 7f; new trip should suit but improvement is a must.
9th	3 9th (3) (28/1 -180%) Lightning Bay	28 28/1(-180%)	(3) Lightning Bay 28/1, Cable Bay gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 7f-1m winner Light Lily and 1m-11f winner Solanna. Dam 1m/8.3f winner. Yard could ready one and needs monitoring in the betting. Bred to have a future and he's worth a market check in this field.

LTO Selection:

12:35 Lingfield Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

CLEAR STORM showed her greenness on debut by being slowly away from the stalls, but she shaped well to finish midfield and she would have learned a great deal from that experience. The daughter of Storm The Stars could take a big step forward to shed her maiden tag at the second time of asking. Rosy Kiss could also improve a lot from her first outing at Kempton, while Lightning Bay is worth a market check on his debut.

CLEAR STORM was getting the hang of things in the closing stages on his Kempton debut and could take a significant step forward now. Rosy Kiss hinted at promise on her Kempton debut and might be the one to give her most to do unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding newcomers such as Lightning Bay and/or Wannabeawallaby.

Fram Castle and Lennon can do better but so should CLEAR STORM and she is tentatively selected.

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

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (40/1 -150%) Zandita	40 40/1(-150%)	(8) Zandita 40/1, Foaled March 9. €26,000 foal, Calyx filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 1¼m-1½m winner Zannda and winner up to 10.5f Zanndabad, both useful. Dam 1½m winner. Newcomer to keep an eye on. 26,000euros half-sister to 5 winners (inc Group 3); dam a 1m4f winner; 7f sharp enough?.
2	4 2nd (4) (13/8 +14%) Moonfire	1.625 13/8(+14%)	(4) Moonfire 13/8, Blue Point filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 7f-9f winner Dream Castle and winner up to 1¼m With The Moonlight. Gambled-on 6/5, green when third of 10 at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on debut 27 days ago. Surely more to come from her. Inexperience was evident when 3rd on last month's debut; capable of much better over 7f.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/1 -100%) Elderflower	9 9/1(-100%)	(2) Elderflower 9/1, Twice-raced maiden. Off 9 weeks, 7/4, fifth of 10 at Newcastle (6f) 11 days ago, still green and not knocked about. Can do better. Ran well in face of tough task on debut; beaten fav latest (6f) but looks ready for 7f now.
4	1 4th (1) (15/2 -88%) Divine Presence	7.5 15/2(-88%)	(1) Divine Presence 15/2, Foaled February 8. Dubawi filly. Sister to 1¼m winner Rajasthan. Dam winner up to 1¼m (Royal Whip Stakes and 2-y-o 7f winner). Top yard firing in the winners, including first time up. Sister to 1m2f winner Rajasthan; dam a Group 3 winner; top yard; obvious paper claims.
5th	5 5th (5) (125/1 -150%) Mucha Muchacha	125 125/1(-150%)	(5) Mucha Muchacha 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 66/1, eighth of 11 at Kempton (8f) 14 days ago. Two 1m runs at Kempton haven't been too bad but much more needed to win in this field.
6th	3 6th (3) (12/1 +0%) Midnight Drive	12 12/1(+0%)	(3) Midnight Drive 12/1, Foaled February 9. €50,000 foal, €85,000 yearling, Ten Sovereigns filly. Dam, ran once, closely related to useful 10.5f/11f winner Hidden Dimples out of successful sister to very smart winner up to 8.5f Gregorian. Interesting newcomer. 85,000euros yearling; dam from a good family; the betting should be informative.
7th	7 7th (7) (11/8 +45%) Tiaraqueen	1.375 11/8(+45%)	(7) Tiaraqueen 11/8, Promising sort. Second of 10 in similar event (28/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut 49 days ago, well positioned. With improvement on the cards, she has to be very high on the shortlist. Lots to like about her debut 2nd at Kempton last month and she's also open to improvement.

LTO Selection:

13:10 Lingfield Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

TIARAQUEEN made a very pleasing start to her career when second over 7f at Kempton and she can go one better. William Haggas' charge ran into a more experienced, well-fancied rival on that occasion and any amount of improvement can be expected from this daughter of Kingman. Moonfire is feared most after being well backed on her first racecourse start over 6f at Wolverhampton and she appears likely to be seen to better effect this time, while John and Thady Gosden's newcomer Divine Presence is one to watch.

Probably a good novice, with all the major yards represented, and TIARAQUEEN can build on her promising debut at Kempton 7 weeks ago and come out on top. Newcomer Divine Presence is very interesting for the Gosden stable, while there is surely better to come from Moonfire.

Moonfire is a likely big improver but TIARAQUEEN looked promising when second to a red-hot favourite on her Kempton debut.

13:45 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (3/1 +54%) Habooba	3 3/1(+54%)	(6) Habooba 3/1, Low-mileage filly who posted a very good second of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 29 days ago. Another bold showing is on the cards at these weights. Runner-up in 6f handicaps at Chelmsford the last twice; up 2lb but still has low mileage.
2	10 2nd (10) (9/2 +25%) Mumayaz	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(10) Mumayaz 9/2, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 2/1, creditable 1¼ lengths fourth of 10 to Sixties Chic in handicap at this C&D (AW) 15 days ago, never nearer. Tongue strap back on and one to consider. Expensive to follow this year but he's more than capable of a big run off this mark.
3	4 3rd (4) (28/1 -40%) Ithra	28 28/1(-40%)	(4) Ithra 28/1, Fifth of 6 in minor event (3/1) at Newcastle (6f) 35 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Ran poorly latest; chance on her best handicap form but others look safer; new headgear.
4	2 4th (2) (15/2 +38%) Bankrupt	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(2) Bankrupt 15/2, C&D winner. 5 wins from 12 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. 12/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 8 days ago. In the mix. Ran okay off this mark at Southwell last week having won his 4 starts beforehand; chance.
5th	5 5th (5) (5/1 +38%) Em Jay Kay	5 5/1(+38%)	(5) Em Jay Kay 5/1, 9/1, good fourth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 8 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Not beaten far the last twice and likely to be in the thick of it once more.
6th	11 6th (11) (100/1 -52%) Roman Spring	100 100/1(-52%)	(11) Roman Spring 100/1, 100/1, last of 8 in handicap at this course (7f, AW) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Down in weights & return to sprinting/addition of headgear could help; others safer though.
7th	8 7th (8) (4/1 -14%) Sixties Chic	4 4/1(-14%)	(8) Sixties Chic 4/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 4/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 15 days ago. Must enter calculations. Making up for lost time in recent weeks, scoring cosily over C&D latest; big player.
8th	9 8th (9) (8/1 +11%) El Hombre	8 8/1(+11%)	(9) El Hombre 8/1, C&D winner. Respectable second of 11 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 16/1) 25 days ago. In the picture. Back to form when 2nd over C&D last month; same mark here and should be involved.
9th	3 9th (3) (22/1 -83%) Libra Tiger	22 22/1(-83%)	(3) Libra Tiger 22/1, Latest win at Sandown in July. First run since leaving Ed Walker when respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 25/1) 25 days ago. Possibilities. Promising 4th over C&D on stable debut last month; behind El Hombre there though.
10th	1 10th (1) (16/1 -129%) Impeach	16 16/1(-129%)	(1) Impeach 16/1, 3-time C&D winner. 11/1, won 11-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 34 days ago. Not ruled out. Three C&D wins for former yard; off mark for new stable at Chelmsford latest; drawn wide.
11th	7 11th (7) (28/1 -75%) Thismydream	28 28/1(-75%)	(7) Thismydream 28/1, One win from 33 Flat runs. Only fourth of 5 in handicap at Salisbury (5f, soft, 6/1), slowly away. Off 110 days. Needs to bounce back. Poor strike-rate; drawn widest back from a break; stable have stronger claims with Impeach.

LTO Selection:

13:45 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A tentative vote is for EM JAY KAY, who was only beaten a neck despite being fourth over 6f at Southwell last time. Off the same mark, Phil McEntee's charge looks primed to offer another bold bid. Impeach should also be thereabouts after running on well to get up late over 6f at Chelmsford last month and a 2lb rise in the ratings doesn't appear severe, while Sixties Chic is also likely to be thereabouts.

Lots with chances. HABOOBA still has few miles on the clock and rates the pick at these weights so is taken to gain her breakthrough success. Sixties Chic heads the list of dangers on the back of her recent C&D success, with Tony Carroll's duo Glamorous Express and Mumayaz also well in the mix.

El Hombre ran well here last month but he may well have to give best to the thriving 3yo filly SIXTIES CHIC (nap).

2	9 2nd (9) (15/2 -88%) Edmund Ironside	7.5 15/2(-88%)	(9) Edmund Ironside 15/2, C&D winner. Winner here in November. Very good second of 10 in handicap (7/2) at this C&D (AW) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not taken lightly. Comes here on the back of two fine C&D runs but the widest stall tempers enthusiasm today.
3	8 3rd (8) (5/1 -25%) Split Elevens	5 5/1(-25%)	(8) Split Elevens 5/1, Course winner. Good fourth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 9/2) 13 days ago, not clear run. Unreliable sort. On a dangerous mark and he'll be bang there if they don't dawdle in the early stages.
4	5 4th (5) (28/1 -250%) Waleyfa	28 28/1(-250%)	(5) Waleyfa 28/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 10 runs this year. 15/2, last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 15 days ago. Hood on 1st time and needs to bounce back. C&D winner; had excuse last time & she's on a handy mark if the new hood proves effective.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 -256%) H Key Lails	16 16/1(-256%)	(4) H Key Lails 16/1, Met some trouble when sixth of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Chelmsford City (7f) 13 days ago. Considered. Placed over C&D last month before a luckless effort at Chelmsford latest; contender.
6th	11 6th (11) (80/1 -220%) Lord Clenaghcastle	80 80/1(-220%)	(11) Lord Clenaghcastle 80/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Brighton (9.9f, heavy) 62 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. Just one win since 2018 and boasts a mixed record for this yard; opposable on balance.
7th	2 7th (2) (14/1 -133%) Recuerdame	14 14/1(-133%)	(2) Recuerdame 14/1, 3-time C&D winner. 4 wins from 17 runs this year. Latest win here in November. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 7/2) 7 days ago, running on. Shortlisted. Hold-up performer with 11 AW wins to his name; should be arriving on the scene late again.
8th	3 8th (3) (4/1 +38%) Flying Panther	4 4/1(+38%)	(3) Flying Panther 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Kempton in September. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 20/1) 63 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Tom Ward and can't be discounted. C&D winner for Tom Ward; sold for 6,000gns in October; career best needed on stable debut.

10th	10 10th (10) (40/1 -60%) Cap D'antibes	40 40/1(-60%)	(10) Cap D'antibes 40/1, C&D winner. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 62 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark. C&D winner; modest effort when last seen but he is on a dangerous mark.
11th	1 11th (1) (9/1 +18%) Roscioli	9 9/1(+18%)	(1) Roscioli 9/1, Latest win at Brighton in June. 25/1, creditable 2 lengths fourth of 10 to Recuerdame in handicap at this C&D (AW) 32 days ago. Can go well again. Infrequent winner; on a lowly mark but work to do with Recuerdame on latest run.

LTO Selection:

14:20 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

EDMUND IRONSIDE was only beaten a neck into second over C&D last time and this looks a good opportunity to go one better. Michael Attwater's charge was only collared on the line on that occasion by a very well backed rival, and a reproduction of that performance off the same mark will make him tough to beat. So Chic is feared most after a narrow win over 7f at this track last time, while Split Elevens should also get involved.

More good times lie ahead for SO CHIC given she did well to overcome a poor position to score here last time and has seen that form franked. C&D scorer Edmund Ironside is feared most with Flying Panther not without interest too on his yard debut.

Keep an eye on Cephalus in the betting but perhaps a return to prominent tactics could pay dividends for H KEY LAILS.

Hood on 1st time. Enters calculations. Ex-Irish maiden but has shown promise at up to this trip; hooded for stable debut.
2	11 2nd (11) (11/2 +31%) Goldsmith	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(11) Goldsmith 11/2, C&D winner. 8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 10 days ago, slowly away. Looks competitive on form if shrugging off latest effort. C&D record reads 1132; likely to be in the thick of the action once again.
3	1 3rd (1) (6/1 +40%) Avon Light	6 6/1(+40%)	(1) Avon Light 6/1, 14/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 15 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Considered. Fair efforts in AW handicaps the last twice; down in class with tongue-tie added.

Visor on 1st time. Not really progressed since handicapping; new trip/headgear today but others are safer.
8th	2 8th (2) (20/1 -167%) Ciotog	20 20/1(-167%)	(2) Ciotog 20/1, Latest win at Bath in September. 16/1, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 36 days ago, left poorly placed. Can go well. Two Bath wins this summer; not seen to best effect in slowly run race latest; contender.
9th	6 9th (6) (8/1 -60%) Red Treasure	8 8/1(-60%)	(6) Red Treasure 8/1, Very good second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 9/2) 37 days ago. Expected to be bang there with rider now able to claim 5 lb. Hung left in the straight but still ran well for 2nd at Wolverhampton latest; e-w shout.

12th	8 12th (8) (50/1 -400%) Master Chartwell	50 50/1(-400%)	(8) Master Chartwell 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 9 in minor event at Thirsk (8f, good to firm, 50/1), possibly amiss. Off 168 days. First run for yard after leaving Edward Bethell. Makes handicap debut. Not built on debut promise but makes stable/h'cap debut after wind and gelding ops.

LTO Selection:

14:55 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

RED TREASURE posted a respectable second at Wolverhampton last month and Ed Dunlop's filly must hold every chance now that Morgan Cole's 5lb claim can be put into use. The three-year-old is effectively racing off a 4lb lower mark and a third career success could be on the horizon. The downgraded Avon Light has posted creditable efforts in defeat of late and she is feared most, ahead of stable debutant Ninth Life.

RED TREASURE signalled she is ready to go in again when a very good second at Wolverhampton so gets the nod. Ciotog wasn't seen to best effect when sixth there last time so rates the chief threat, with Raintown and Goldsmith also in the picture.

The ex-Irish NINTH LIFE starts out for his new yard at a realistic level and can get the better of Ciotog.

15:30 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 10f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (3/1 +25%) Sunset In Paris	3 3/1(+25%)	(7) Sunset In Paris 3/1, Has made the frame on his last 5 starts, though promised more than he delivered when fourth of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 40 days ago. Capable of getting involved. 14-race maiden but he's been threatening at Chelmsford; this track might suit him better.
2	10 2nd (10) (25/1 -56%) Dillydingdillydong	25 25/1(-56%)	(10) Dillydingdillydong 25/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Never a threat when eighth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (1m, 25/1) 67 days ago. Back up in distance. Exposed maiden at shorter trips; stamina for 1m2f has to be taken on trust.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 -13%) Star Of Epsom	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(1) Star Of Epsom 9/2, Proved at least as good as ever when recording a fourth C&D success in 11-runner handicap (7/1) 15 days ago, overcoming trouble in-running. Major player at this venue. Four C&D wins to her name, the latest two weeks ago; up 3lb and drawn wide today.
4	2 4th (2) (13/2 -44%) Uther Pendragon	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(2) Uther Pendragon 13/2, C&D winner. Back on all-weather after 9 weeks off, ran well when second of 12 in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 13 days ago, denied on the post. Can make his presence felt. Second in two of his last three starts and this C&D winner should have a big run in him.
5th	6 5th (6) (40/1 -100%) Rainbow Sign	40 40/1(-100%)	(6) Rainbow Sign 40/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Followed a good run with a below-par one when seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (1m, AW, 20/1) a week ago. Has something to find upped in trip. Two 7f wins here last year; not at best over 1m last week and stamina for 1m2f a query.
6th	3 6th (3) (2/1 +50%) The Conqueror	2 2/1(+50%)	(3) The Conqueror 2/1, Step back in the right direction when 1½ lengths fourth of 11 to the reopposing Star of Epsom in handicap (9/2) at this C&D (AW) 15 days ago, never nearer. Could be thereabouts having eased further in the weights. Strong at the finish despite having raced wide into the straight here last time; contender.
7th	4 7th (4) (28/1 -133%) Forever Proud	28 28/1(-133%)	(4) Forever Proud 28/1, Remains a maiden but offered a little promise when 3 lengths seventh of 11 to Star of Epsom in handicap at this C&D (AW, 80/1) 15 days ago, staying on last ½f. Needs to find more. Better effort here last time but still only managed seventh of 11 behind Star Of Epsom.
8th	8 8th (8) (33/1 -65%) Hanoverian King	33 33/1(-65%)	(8) Hanoverian King 33/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Below form seventh of 10 in minor event at Chelmsford City (1m, 18/1) when last seen in August. Bounce back called for returned to this longer distance after a break. Mixed record overall and likely vulnerable from the widest stall today.
9th	9 9th (9) (11/1 -38%) Warrior Square	11 11/1(-38%)	(9) Warrior Square 11/1, Under a more patient ride, failed to repeat his previous effort when eighth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 6/1) 13 days ago. However, he remains lightly raced so he could still have more to offer upped in trip. Stamina not assured but he has hinted at ability over 1m and he's not fully exposed yet.
10th	5 10th (5) (16/1 -45%) Star For A Day	16 16/1(-45%)	(5) Star For A Day 16/1, Failed to build on the promise of her previous run when eighth of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 40 days ago. Others more persuasive. Not beaten far over C&D last month but less good at Chelmsford latest; now 0-10.
11th	11 11th (11) (22/1 -57%) Ceilidh King	22 22/1(-57%)	(11) Ceilidh King 22/1, First run since leaving Hughie Morrison when ninth of 15 in handicap at Chelmsford City (1m, 12/1) 29 days ago. Has work to do having his first try at 10f with tongue strap reapplied. Modest maiden; never dangerous on stable debut four weeks ago; tongue-tie back on now.
12th	12 12th (12) (100/1 -203%) Tiz Likely	100 100/1(-203%)	(12) Tiz Likely 100/1, Making her second start in 2 days, always behind when eighth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at this course (1m, AW) 54 days ago. Looks to be up against it having another go at this longer trip. Exposed ten-race maiden; well beaten the last twice; hard to recommend.

LTO Selection:

15:30 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Star Of Epsom gained a fourth C&D victory when landing the spoils here earlier in the month and a 3lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid from the daughter of Sir Percy. However, she may be worth taking on drawn wide in stall 11, with SUNSET IN PARIS shading the verdict. The selection has been knocking on the door of late and a well-deserved first success looks a distinct possibility. Uther Pendragon and The Conqueror are noted too.

STAR OF EPSOM did well under the circumstances when winning here 15 days ago, leading close home having been denied a run over 1f out, so she can go on to land a fifth C&D success. The Conqueror wasn't beaten far when fourth behind the selection then and could be the main danger, with Uther Pendragon completing the shortlist.

This track may play to SUNSET IN PARIS's strengths and he can get off the mark at the 15th attempt. Uther Pendragon is feared most.

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.
