14:05 Lingfield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (5/4 +50%) Game Colours	1.25 5/4(+50%)	(4) Game Colours 5/4, Had wind surgery after pulling up on debut and placed on all 4 starts since, shaping better than the bare result when third on handicap debut at Fakenham (20f) 32 days ago. Respected with Sean Bowen again in the plate. Hasn't raced over a shorter trip than 2m3f but has form claims; goes on all ground.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/10 +27%) Rula Bula	1.1 11/10(+27%)	(2) Rula Bula 11/10, Fairly useful in bumpers and perfect start in this sphere when a ready winner of mares' maiden at Market Rasen (20.6f) in November. Improved when second at listed level next time prior to being pulled up on handicap debut at Chepstow 23 days ago but well worth another chance to get back on the up. Useful in bumpers and first blip over hurdles came last time on heavy ground.
3	1 3rd (1) (7/1 -75%) Miss Dishy	7 7/1(-75%)	(1) Miss Dishy 7/1, Irish raider who won a Kilbeggan bumper last summer and confirmed previous promise in this sphere when taking 14-runner maiden hurdle at Limerick (16.3f) in October. Struggled in Grade 3 company thereafter and this much more suitable back from a break. Irish trainer's only runner on the card; bumper/maiden winner; highly tried last time.
4	3 4th (3) (25/1 -56%) Cracker Muddle	25 25/1(-56%)	(3) Cracker Muddle 25/1, Kayf Tara mare. Dam (c110/h75), 25f chase winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chaser (stayed 21f) Not Another Muddle (by Kayf Tara). Betting should unearth some clues on debut. Makes a belated debut but bred to have a future and it makes sense to check the betting.
5	5 \|U\| (5) (66/1 -313%) Kupka Vallis	66 66/1(-313%)	(5) Kupka Vallis 66/1, Saint des Saints mare who didn't go unsupported but ultimately seemed to find things tough in the conditions when eighth of 13 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (2m, heavy) on debut 23 days ago. Likely she can do better with that initial experience behind her. Beaten a distance on heavy at Chepstow but was only 5-1 and may do better.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (300/1 -100%) Surrey Nemesis	300 300/1(-100%)	(6) Surrey Nemesis 300/1, Little in the way of solid form in a trio of bumpers and well beaten on hurdles bow at Fontwell 11 months ago. Hard to make a case for starting out for new stable. At huge prices, she showed very little in three bumpers and a maiden hurdle for Adam West.

14:05 Lingfield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

RULA BULA may have disappointed when pulled up over further at Chepstow last month, but she is better judged on her second in Listed action at Newbury in November. That form sets the standard and she may have too much for Irish raider Miss Dishy, who drops in grade having contested a Grade 3 contest at Down Royal last time. Placed on each of her last four starts, the consistent Game Colours cannot be ruled out either.

RULA BULA needs to shrug off her latest run at Chepstow 23 days ago, yet she'd previously looked a mare to keep on side, not least when posting a fairly useful effort when second in listed company. She gets the nod to bounce back, with Game Colours, who continues to shape up well, and Irish raider Miss Dishy heading up the dangers.

Assuming that heavy ground was behind RULA BULA's disappointing run last time, there's good reason to believe she can bounce back.

14:35 Lingfield Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (15/2 +0%) Felton Bellevue	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(4) Felton Bellevue 15/2, Ended long losing run at Southwell (24.3f) last March and made the frame in 4 of his next 5 starts. Lesser effort when fifth of 11 at Sedgefield (26.3f, heavy) last month, but no surprise to see him bounce back. Below best latest but had been holding his form well since winning at Southwell last March.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 -43%) Twilight Glory	5 5/1(-43%)	(3) Twilight Glory 5/1, Won back-to-back handicaps at Chepstow last year and stepped up on his reappearance when recording a second success at this C&D (soft) in December. Again ran well when third at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) last time and he's a major player back down in grade. Won this two years ago and has gained three further wins in the meantime.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 +43%) Summer In Milan	4 4/1(+43%)	(2) Summer In Milan 4/1, Only modest form over hurdles for current yard, though ran better than on handicap debut when third at Fontwell (21.8f, soft) 25 days ago. However, he had placed on sole outing in Irish points, so he's one to note as he goes chasing. Placed in latest handicap hurdle and a possible improver now sent chasing over further.
4	9 4th (9) (5/1 +50%) Dysania	5 5/1(+50%)	(9) Dysania 5/1, Not straightforward but bounced back from a below-par effort when runner-up at Southwell (24.3f, heavy) on New Year's Day. However, he was still in rear when falling 5 out at Ffos Las a fortnight ago. Others more persuasive. Struggles for consistency but has a big run in him, as penultimate effort shows.
5th	8 5th (8) (9/2 +50%) Watchoutitscookie	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(8) Watchoutitscookie 9/2, With his recent run behind him, built on earlier promise over fences when making all in handicap at Newcastle (23.4f, good to soft) in December. Taken on for the lead when well held at this course (20f, soft) last time, so he's worth another chance. Not his first modest run on heavy ground last time, so a revival not out of the question.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (4/1 +56%) The Cox Express	4 4/1(+56%)	(7) The Cox Express 4/1, Bumper winner who remains a maiden over hurdles, though encouraging start over fences when runner-up in an Exeter handicap (19.2f, soft) in December. Failed to repeat that effort at Taunton last time, but it still remains early days for him as a chaser. Second on chase debut but that was at 2m3f and he was a weakener over 2m7f next time.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (15/2 -7%) Heaven Smart	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(1) Heaven Smart 15/2, Made all in handicap chase at Kempton a year ago but mixed form since, including over hurdles. In first-time tongue strap, below form back over fences at Fontwell (27.7f, heavy) 25 days ago, though he's now below his winning mark with cheekpieces reapplied. Hasn't achieved a great deal since winning off 4lb higher at Kempton 12 months ago.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (50/1 -100%) Game Line	50 50/1(-100%)	(5) Game Line 50/1, Fair handicap chaser at best who finished runner-up twice in 2022/23. However, after a 26-month absence he offered little when pulled up at Ffos Las (25.3f, heavy) in December. Has enough to prove at present. Pulled up at Ffos Las two months ago when back from an absence of just over two years.

14:35 Lingfield Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Not beaten too far in his attempt to complete the double at Chepstow last month, TWILIGHT GLORY can mount a bold bid here, especially if his jumping sharpens up. A comfortable scorer over an extended 2m7f at this track on his penultimate outing, the nine-year-old gets the vote ahead of Felton Bellevue, who has been placed on two of his last three outings. Racing Snake and Summer In Milan are likely to enter the reckoning as well.

TWILIGHT GLORY has returned better than ever this season, adding to his tally at this C&D before a good third at Chepstow (form boosted by the runner-up since) last month, so he is taken to resume winning ways. Racing Snake fared better than previously under Rules when third here 20 days ago and could be the main danger, ahead of Watchoutitscookie.

Tim Vaughan's TWILIGHT GLORY arrives in good form for his bid to emulate his 2023 win in this race.

15:05 Lingfield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (5/2 +55%) Last Rodeo	2.5 5/2(+55%)	(8) Last Rodeo 5/2, Built on his debut fourth when third of 12 in novice hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft, 66/1) 43 days ago. Merits consideration with further progress on the cards. Eyecatching third at Taunton last time and he looks interesting on this step up in trip.
2	10 2nd (10) (9/1 +55%) Washington Singer	9 9/1(+55%)	(10) Washington Singer 9/1, Being brought along steadily, set a lot to do when third of 12 in novice at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) on his hurdles bow 36 days ago. Sort to do better in due course. Shaped with promise at Hereford last month and he's not ruled out upped in trip.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/1 -25%) Cauvicourt	10 10/1(-25%)	(3) Cauvicourt 10/1, Little show in a pair of bumpers but second of 3 in novice at Fontwell (19.1f, soft) on his hurdles bow 25 days ago. May do better still so he's no forlorn hope. Made promising start over hurdles behind a useful rival at Fontwell (2m3f); respected.
4	5 4th (5) (11/4 -10%) Drayton Flyer	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(5) Drayton Flyer 11/4, Promising debut bumper second and he again shaped well when runner-up in novice here (16f, soft) on his hurdles bow 20 days ago. Goes up in trip and open to improvement. Big shout. Runner-up in Wetherby bumper and a 2m maiden hurdle at this track; big player up in trip.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/2 -35%) Golan Loop	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(6) Golan Loop 9/2, Winning Irish pointer but he failed to build on earlier promise when an odds-on third of 6 in novice hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) 24 days ago. Worth another chance. Sets the standard on his best form but was disappointing when odds-on at Plumpton latest.
6th	1 6th (1) (11/2 +8%) Blue Bellamy	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(1) Blue Bellamy 11/2, Fair form in bumpers and made an encouraging start in this sphere when third of 7 in novice hurdle here (16f, soft) 20 days ago. Up in trip with more to offer. Considered. Placed on hurdling debut here last month and he's open to progress upped in trip.
7th	7 7th (7) (28/1 -40%) Graham	28 28/1(-40%)	(7) Graham 28/1, Fairly useful Flat winner for Richard Hannon but yet to show that form for new yard over hurdles at Leicester and Kempton this winter. In good hands and may still do better though. Fairly useful on the Flat but he's been well held in two hurdle runs for new yard.
8th	4 8th (4) (28/1 +44%) Dark Mystery	28 28/1(+44%)	(4) Dark Mystery 28/1, Fair winner at 12f on Flat who posted a solid fourth at Southwell (16.5f) 21 days ago. Showed promise on his sole hurdling start in December, 2022, so can't be discounted. Just 1-26 on the Flat and his only hurdle run was a long time ago; best watched.
9th	2 9th (2) (250/1 -67%) Bollin Thou	250 250/1(-67%)	(2) Bollin Thou 250/1, Well held in a pair of maiden hurdles at Lingfield and Exeter either side of Christmas. Others appeal more. Tailed off in sole bumper and same story in two hurdle runs this winter.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (33/1 -230%) Ledders	33 33/1(-230%)	(9) Ledders 33/1, A fairly useful bumper winner but off the track for 23 months. Needs to hit the ground running on his hurdles debut. Bumper winner but he now switches to hurdling after long layoff; market informative.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (250/1 -279%) Brenda	250 250/1(-279%)	(11) Brenda 250/1, Offered little in a pair of bumpers for Laura Mongan. Goes hurdling now and needs her yard switch to spark major improvement. Tailed off in two bumpers and can only be watched now switched to hurdling for new yard.

15:05 Lingfield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Runner-up on both career outings thus far, including on his hurdles debut over 2m here last month, DRAYTON FLYER looks just the type to improve for going up in distance and this may be an ideal opportunity to get off the mark. Behind him last time was Blue Bellamy (third), who may well be in the mix again, while Golan Loop aims to bounce back from a disappointing effort when a short-priced favourite at Plumpton most recently.

DRAYTON FLYER has gone with some promise when runner-up on both his runs to date and is fancied to get off the mark here now stepping up in distance. Last Rodeo also has better days ahead of him and could emerge as the main danger to Olly Murphy's 6-y-o, although Golan Loop has the form to play a big part if back on his A-game. Blue Bellamy and Dark Mystery need shortlisting too.

Several have possibilities but last month's Lingfield runner-up DRAYTON FLYER gets the vote ahead of Last Rodeo and Cauvicourt.

15:35 Lingfield Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (9/2 -80%) Mighty Moth	4.5 9/2(-80%)	(3) Mighty Moth 9/2, Placed twice in bumpers and off the mark at third attempt over hurdles at Hereford last season. Similar form over fences, good second at Wincanton over Christmas prior to finishing third at Huntingdon 4 weeks ago. Cheekpieces go on now and she could do with brushing up her jumping. Went close in her second chase start and didn't appear to stay 2m7f the last time.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/5 -26%) Fortunefavorsdbold	2.2 11/5(-26%)	(4) Fortunefavorsdbold 11/5, Course winner who has displayed more positive signs from her reduced mark of late, jumping soundly and rallying well once headed when runner-up back here (23.5f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces go back on and she's shortlisted back down in trip. Goes well in the mud but a lot of her best runs - and all wins - have been at about 3m.
3	5 3rd (5) (15/8 +53%) Bolintlea	1.875 15/8(+53%)	(5) Bolintlea 15/8, Fair chaser who has been holding her form well of late, looking set to be placed for a long way when fifth of 11 in handicap chase at Fakenham (21.2f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Assessor has given her a chance and she's respected. Jumping can be an issue but she has a competitive show in her at this level.
4	1 4th (1) (3/1 +25%) Easy To Follow	3 3/1(+25%)	(1) Easy To Follow 3/1, Dual novice hurdle scorer last winter who resumed with a good second in handicap company at Bangor (19.5f) in October. Disappointed with that in mind at Leicester in December but she boasts a pointing background and no surprise to see her back on track now sent chasing. Chasing debutante and, although below par in her final hurdle race, a case can be made.

15:35 Lingfield Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD arrives here on the back of a second over an extended 2m7f at this venue last month and the drop in trip could see the seven-year-old go one better, despite a 1lb rise. Mighty Moth is another with claims in first-time cheekpieces, while it's also worth keeping a close eye on Bolintlea, who placed at this track two starts ago.

FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD confirmed her return to form when a rallying second over further here 3 weeks ago and she could be ready to strike from her reduced mark, with cheekpieces refitted. Bolintlea might be the danger.

This is trappy as a case can be made for all four. MIGHTY MOTH edges preference after her stamina was stretched over further last time.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (16/1 +20%) Has Troke	16 16/1(+20%)	(2) Has Troke 16/1, Has gone off the boil of late, failing to be revitalised by the fitting of more severe headgear (left off today) when pulled up over fences last month. Returns to hurdles in search of a confidence boost and best to look elsewhere. Pulled up over fences last twice and he needs a major revival back over hurdles.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 -50%) Weaver's Answer	5 5/1(-50%)	(3) Weaver's Answer 5/1, Has showed improved form for the addition of cheekpieces, running as well as ever when second of 10 at Hereford (25.5f) in December. Returns from a short break and it's interesting that both his previous wins have come when fresh. Leading claims. Good second at Hereford (3m2f) and he's still unexposed as a stayer; respected.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/2 +72%) Three Zambezi's	4.5 9/2(+72%)	(8) Three Zambezi's 9/2, Placed in Irish points but struggled under Rules. Not suited by emphasis on speed when ninth of 13 in a handicap at Southwell (15.8f) in November before falling on latest outing in December. Needs to improve significantly for today's stiffer test but runners from this yard worth a market check. Has form figures of 0989F over hurdles and he needs to show a lot more at this new trip.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (5/1 -186%) San Pedro	5 5/1(-186%)	(1) San Pedro 5/1, Bounced back to form earlier this month (headgear refitted), making all to land the third Plumpton success of his career (winning race he'd won in 2024). Very much had the run of the race on that occasion but remains of interest racing off the same mark, having taken this in 2023. Turned things around with brave win at Plumpton and he's 3lb well in off same mark here.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (15/2 -50%) Tropical Speed	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(5) Tropical Speed 15/2, Creditable third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (24f, good to soft, 9/2) on final start for Eoin Doyle last summer. Modest effort on debut for this yard but he's in excellent hands and it would be no surprise to see this lightly-raced type show improvement sooner rather than later. Made low-key start for new yard last month but he's in the mix on his best Irish form.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (17/2 +39%) Falstaff	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(9) Falstaff 17/2, Well held in a bumper and qualifying runs before disappointing on handicap debut finishing eighth of 16 at Warwick (19f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Faces a longer trip on this occasion but difficult to make a strong case for. Unexposed 5yo but he needs plenty of progress on this switch to a staying trip.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (22/1 -38%) Westtara	22 22/1(-38%)	(4) Westtara 22/1, Left previous efforts behind when third in maiden at Plumpton in April 2024. Finished last season with a creditable third of 7 in a handicap hurdle at this course (25.8f, good), despite being keen. Needed the run on reappearance last month and should strip fitter for that outing. Veteran who is 1-15 in points and 0-6 over hurdles; others are more convincing.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (25/1 -56%) Engaging Sam	25 25/1(-56%)	(10) Engaging Sam 25/1, Showed he can be competitive from a basement mark when third over C&D in February and probably needed his comeback run (following 10 months off) in November. Races from 1 lb out of the handicap but holds place claims in a moderate race for the grade. Has run well over C&D but he's now 0-11 and has bit to prove after another break.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (33/1 -106%) Grand Sabre	33 33/1(-106%)	(7) Grand Sabre 33/1, Only minor promise in a couple of bumpers and has offered little in qualifying runs over hurdles. Needs to improve considerably for step up in trip/switch to handicap company. Unexposed 6yo and he's a possible improver upped in trip on handicap debut; market useful.

16:05 Lingfield Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

In a moderate event it is hard to oppose SAN PEDRO, who bounced back to form when winning over 3m1f at Plumpton 10 days ago. He does not have to carry a penalty for that success here, which leaves Chris Gordon's gelding 3lb well in. Weaver's Answer had to settle for second at Hereford most recently and may have to do so again. The rest all have questions to answer, but Tropical Speed is the pick of them.

Twice a winner over hurdles following a break, WEAVER'S ANSWER has been freshened up for this following a creditable second at Hereford in December and can land the spoils. San Pedro took this in 2023 and is interesting racing off the same mark as when making all at Plumpton 10 days ago, although he's unlikely to have it all his own way with fellow front-runner Westtara for company on this occasion. Engaging Sam has placed over C&D previously and may be able to finish in the money once again.

Most of these have something to prove but SAN PEDRO (nap) won at Plumpton last time and is now 3lb well in off the same mark.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (12/1 -50%) Angel's Dream	12 12/1(-50%)	(4) Angel's Dream 12/1, Resumed winning ways over C&D in November but only sixth of 7 in handicap chase here following month. Sort to bounce back after a break. Unexposed chaser who won over C&D in November but he stopped quickly here last time.
5	5 (5) (12/1 +14%) Iskar D'airy	12 12/1(+14%)	(5) Iskar D'airy 12/1, A fair 2m winner over hurdles for his current yard but he has yet to offer much a pair of handicap chases over C&D and at Huntingdon either side of Christmas. Lots more is required. Returned from long absence this winter and he's not shown much switched to chasing.
2	2 (2) (18/1 -50%) Odin's Quest	18 18/1(-50%)	(2) Odin's Quest 18/1, Fair bumper/hurdles winner but well beaten in 15f Wincanton handicap hurdle on his return last month. Needs to take a big step forward now going chasing. Has only one eye; untried going left-handed and has plenty to prove on chase debut.
1	6 1st (6) (10/3 +72%) You Say Nothing	3.333333 10/3(+72%)	(6) You Say Nothing 10/3, It's now 12 runs since his last win in 2023 and he comes here out of sorts, eighth of 10 in handicap chase at Warwick (16.2f, soft) 51 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. His last win was in May 2023 and he's generally struggled in the last 12 months.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 +75%) King Of Brazil	3.5 7/2(+75%)	(1) King Of Brazil 7/2, Dual chaser winner at this time last year but has struggled so far this season, retried over hurdles at Taunton last time. Hard to warm to. On dangerous back over fences but he needs a major turnaround.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/2 +38%) Superstylin	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(3) Superstylin 5/2, C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when sixth of 12 in 2m4f handicap chase at Huntingdon 14 days ago, going well long way. Expected to be bang there back at 2m off a 3 lb lower mark. C&D winner who went close here three runs back; in the mix on this drop back in trip.
4	9 4th (9) (17/2 -31%) Shaw's Cross	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(9) Shaw's Cross 17/2, On a long losing run but he arrives in decent nick, fourth of 11 in handicap chase here (20f, soft) 20 days ago. One for the shortlist despite being 1 lb "wrong" in the weights. Some fair efforts this winter but he's now 1-24 over fences and is on a long losing run.
5th	7 5th (7) (15/2 -329%) Miss Fedora	7.5 15/2(-329%)	(7) Miss Fedora 15/2, Finally got off the mark over fences in 6-runner handicap chase at Plumpton (17f, soft) 24 days ago. Up 4 lb but she can make her presence felt again. Clearcut win from out of the weights at Plumpton; big player again off 4lb higher.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (7/1 +13%) Amarillobymorning	7 7/1(+13%)	(8) Amarillobymorning 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Had a wind op before coming in a well-held seventh of 11 in handicap at Market Rasen (17.2f, good to soft, 13/2) on his debut over fences 34 days ago. In good hands but lots to prove with hood added. Still very lightly raced but he needs a transformation with hood added.

16:35 Lingfield Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

MISS FEDORA went in by 14 lengths in this class at Plumpton on her latest outing and a 4lb rise may prove to be on the lenient side. The six-year-old is relatively unexposed over fences and can complete the double. The main danger might be previous C&D winner Superstylin, who finished midfield over 2m4f at Huntingdon earlier in the month. This drop in trip and a 3lb lower rating could see him get closer, while Shaw's Cross is another to note.

Suzy Smith's C&D winner SUPERSTYLIN shaped as if this return to 2m would suit ideally when a strong-travelling sixth over 2m4f at Huntingdon last time so looks the way to go off a handy mark. Recent Plumpton scorer Miss Fedora rates the obvious threat with the reliable Shaw's Cross and C&D scorer Angel's Dream also in the picture.

Top of the list is MISS FEDORA who made her breakthrough over fences with a 14l win from out of the weights at Plumpton last month.

1	4 1st (4) (8/15 +33%) Double Oban	0.533333 8/15(+33%)	(4) Double Oban 8/15, Made it 3 wins from his last 4 hurdles starts over C&D 9 days ago, well-positioned (held up) off a sound gallop and seemingly better the further he went. Wouldn't want this to be a crawl but nevertheless makes strong appeal racing off same mark as last week (due to go up 10 lb in future). Easily beat Through The Ages here last week; no penalty and he's up 10lb in future.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/4 +21%) Through The Ages	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(2) Through The Ages 11/4, Dual hurdles winner last season (both when making the running) and has returned to form this year, a creditable effort when 6½ lengths second of 8 to Double Oban over C&D (heavy) 9 days ago and possible that a return to more positive tactics could see him finish closer now. Beaten in seven handicaps, the latest when no match at all for Double Oban.
3	7 3rd (7) (8/1 +50%) Simon The Seagull	8 8/1(+50%)	(7) Simon The Seagull 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler placed for the first time on latest outing, benefitting from positive ride/first-time blinkers and a drop in distance when third in a handicap over C&D last month. Head carriage suggests he might not be the most straightforward and tough ask from 5 lb out of handicap. Beaten about 10l last time in new blinkers and he's 5lb out of the weights for this.
4	5 4th (5) (16/1 +0%) Clinton Lane	16 16/1(+0%)	(5) Clinton Lane 16/1, Has won a couple of races in maiden/novice company but yet to look like winning a handicap, latest effort finishing seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, heavy) 13 days ago. Others looks more progressive. 0-7 in handicaps and will need to run better than he did at Bangor in the latest.
5th	6 5th (6) (33/1 -175%) Orange Diamond	33 33/1(-175%)	(6) Orange Diamond 33/1, Fairly useful handicap hurdler in France. Campaigned over fences for current yard and looked sure to be involved in the finish when falling 2 out at Hereford (20.9f) back in February last year. However not seen since pulling up (lame) over hurdles the following month and market may be best guide. Won in France but failed to complete in six races for current yard, the latest a year ago.

17:05 Lingfield Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

DOUBLE OBAN successfully completed the double in a conditional jockeys' handicap over C&D on his latest outing and is able to compete off the same rating. Olly Murphy's five-year-old could have more to offer and can continue his rise through the ranks. Through The Ages finished second behind the selection last time and it would be no surprise if he were to prove the main threat again, while Simon The Seagull is worth a second look after his third-placed effort here last month.

Hat-trick seeking DOUBLE OBAN will be racing off a 10 lb higher mark in future following his decisive win in a conditional jockeys' race over C&D 9 days ago, and he is difficult to oppose racing unpenalised. Through The Ages chased him home that day and connections may choose to revert to more positive tactics which saw this horse to good effect when winning as a juvenile hurdler. Lightly-raced Moonshine Man shaped a bit better than his latest finishing position, having help force a strong pace.

Olly Murphy's DOUBLE OBAN will be hard to beat if holding his form as he hacked up off the same mark here nine days ago.
