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

C&D winner ARCADIAN NIGHTS was beaten just three-quarters of a length by Inspiritus at Wolverhampton in January and, having made a successful return to that venue three weeks ago, the son of Exceed And Excel can turn around the form with his old adversary, with the memory of that improved effort still fresh. Bystander is an interesting handicap debutant to consider, while Dembe runs off a handy mark and is not ruled out.

An ultra-competitive opener and it may pay to take a chance on DEMBE. Having suggested he's coming to the boil in recent starts, he returns to the scene of his last success (in the Middle Distance Handicap on AW Finals day in 2022) lurking on a very handy mark and could be the way to go. Inspiritus and Arcadian Nights head up the dangers, with low-mileage Bystander another worth a look stepping up in trip.

The vote goes to INSPIRITUS, who is progressive and has solid form. Arcadian Nights is second choice.

14:02 Lingfield Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

SHADES OF SUMMER is hard to ignore in her bid to complete a hat-trick and is fancied to handle the latest 3lb rise handed out for a narrow defeat of a subsequent Listed runner-up in a similar race at Newcastle. James Tate, who trained the selection before she joined Jane Chapple-Hyam, will have a good handle on the form and his rapidly-improving Cloud Cover is also a must for consideration. Aramis Grey and Premiere Beauty complete the shortlist.

Despite refusing to settle, CLOUD COVER still managed to score in the style of one who has plenty more to offer when readily taking a 4-runner contest at Kempton 39 days ago and, with this bigger field scenario a possible help, James Tate's filly is fancied to defy a rise in the weights from a handy draw. Shades of Summer comes here in a rich vein of form and is respected despite a career-high mark, with another admirable mare, Aramis Grey also worth a look.

Jilly Cooper is interesting tried in headgear but SHADES OF SUMMER is on the up for her new yard and can complete her hat-trick.

14:37 Lingfield Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Placed in both the Flying Childers and Cornwallis Stakes as a juvenile, ROSARIO is a highly appealing option starting his three-year-old campaign on the all-weather. Stepping up to 6f looks a natural progression and he is fancied to take all the beating on his first run in a handicap. Brave Empire won over C&D last month and is also expected to be thereabouts. The progressive Beyond Borders, who seeks a four-timer, warrants close inspection now upped in class.

A useful 3-y-o handicap. PHOTOSYNTHESIS didn't enjoy the rub of the green at Kempton recently and is worth a chance to show he's still on a good mark. The form of The Coffee Pod's York novice win last autumn is strong and he was presumably unsuited by testing ground when well held there on his final start. Richard Hannon's charge is handily drawn for this handicap debut and can resume his progression and provide the chief threat ahead of Salvuccio and Blue Prince.

With Billy Webster having landed the widest stall this looks good for BLUE PRINCE (nap) to show he's still on the upgrade.

15:12 Lingfield Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

BATAL DUBAI had Chipstead and The X O behind when failing to justify favouritism by less than a length at Kempton, and he has been kindly left on the same mark. Harry Charlton's colt is progressing nicely and can continue that forward momentum. Mums Tipple is a capable performer on his day and even though much more was expected of him when last seen at Wolverhampton in September, he returns off a 1lb lower mark and could have a say. Last-time-out Ascot winner Badri is just one other to note.

Plenty arrive with claims and it could pay to side with BALDOMERO. He arrives on a long losing run but turned in another solid display when beaten on the nod over 7f here 3 weeks ago (form has been franked) and with the return to sprinting holding no fears, all looks set fair for another big run in first-time blinkers. Silky Wilkie, from a handy draw and back at 6f, can be expected to feature, with Batal Dubai and Flaming Rib (gelded since his last run) just a couple of others to consider.

Kinta can go well with the hood back on but BATAL DUBAI is still improving and that doesn't apply to the majority of his rivals.

SPARTAN ARMY comfortably took care of a hot favourite and First Emperor (third) at Southwell last weekend. The son of Highland Reel also had First Emperor behind him prior to that when just denying Red Flyer here, and he looks well placed to record the hat-trick. Vaguely Royal is taking a step up in distance, but has first-time cheekpieces applied and it would be no surprise to see him get involved.

A chance is taken on the fitness of SPIRIT MIXER, who was a terrific second in the 2022 Northumberland Plate off just a 1 lb lower mark on his latest start on the all-weather. He was below par in a valuable Musselburgh handicap on his sole start of last year but resumes with his yard among the winners. The hat-trick seeking Spartan Army is greatly respected, while Duty of Care and Red Flyer are others to consider.

It's worth sticking with SPARTAN ARMY, who has taken really well to AW. Red Flyer is second choice.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

PENZANCE brought up the hat-trick on just his fourth start for this yard at Newcastle on New Year's Day and, upped a further 4lb, he can continue on his upward trajectory. Old Peculier may prove the main danger after completing a three-timer of his own at Dundalk, over a variety of distances, although a career-high mark does pose a question. Dayzee has acquitted herself well since joining Barry Brennan and she may outrun her forecast odds.

This step up in trip could be just the ticket for DRAGON ICON, who did mighty well to finish as close as he did over a mile at Kempton last month. With just five starts under his belt, there should be better to come from this 4-y-o. Penzance and Wadacre Gomez are likely to emerge as dangers, while cases can also be made for Felix and Talis Evolvere.

Base Note and Diderot can go well but conceding plenty of weight to the rapid improver PENZANCE may be beyond them.

KING'S CODE supplemented a Southwell success at Kempton recently and even with a 5lb penalty to shoulder, David Evans' progressive four-year-old gets the vote to bring up the hat-trick. Dear My Friend, another on a three-timer, will no doubt be popular given his impressive record of three wins from as many starts on artificial surfaces, and he can give the selection most to think about. McLean House, also penalised and arriving on the back of a couple of course triumphs, warrants respect too.

Another really competitive handicap to conclude. MCLEAN HOUSE can take the next step up the ladder and complete a course hat-trick but there are a host of possible dangers, headed by Dear My Friend, so impressive in a C&D listed race recently, Kingdom Come and King's Code.

Dear My Friend and KINGDOM COME appeal most and the step up in trip could spark another surge of progress from the selection.

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.
