Race 1: 14:00 Lingfield Get The Inside Track With raceday-ready.com Restricted Maiden Stakes (Bands C/D) (GBB Race) GB 1m 4f
(5) Specifically | | | | | | 3 | Trevor Whelan | Tom Ward | Half-sister to winners Prontamente (French Group-placed 1m 2yo; RPR 95) and Johnny Reb (6f/7f AW; 81); dam unraced sister to 7f-1m (including Rockfel/1,000 Guineas) winner Speciosa; winning newcomers from the yard are rare. |
4th (1) Colours On Canvas | | | | | | 5 | Sean D Bowen | Jim & Suzi Best | Three wins over hurdles on a soft surface last winter, but hasn't been seen since pulling up on good ground in March; dam 1m2f winner on the Flat in France; interesting to see how he fares in the market on Flat debut. |
2nd (4) Patch's Bond | | | | | | 3 | Paddy Bradley | Pat Phelan | Sent off 125-1 for his Kempton debut (7f, Polytrack) 13 days ago, but caught the eye in staying on into fifth of ten; steps up 5f in trip but this distance is much more in line with his pedigree. |
3rd (2) His Finest Hour | | | | | | 3 | David Probert | Ian Williams | Half-brother to winners Mums Hope (7f AW 2yo; RPR 80), Autumn Leaves (7f 2yo/1m2f; 79), Gelida Manina (Italian 5f including 2yo), Evora Monte (Italian 5f) and Silks Pass (Qatari 5.5f/6f); dam unraced; would be a rare winning newcomer from the yard, but worth a market check. |
1st (3) Candyman Stan | | | | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Andrew Balding | Showed promise when fourth of 13 on his Leicester debut (1m2f, good to soft) in March (form worked out well), but was beaten 7l into third of seven at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack; evens) last month; major chance on debut form. |
Patch's Bond is an interesting contender upped 5f trip following his eyecatching debut at Kempton 13 days ago, but another chance is given to CANDYMAN STAN. He was a disappointing favourite last time, but had previously shown promise on his Leicester debut, the form of which has worked out well. Triple winning hurdler Colours On Canvas is worth monitoring in the market.[David Bellingham]
Race 2: 14:30 Lingfield Download The Raceday Ready App "Confined" Handicap (No Win During The 2024 Flat Season) (0-60) (6) 4yo+ GB 7f 1y
(7) Simply Gorgeous | | | | | | 5 | Hayley Turner | Neil King | Has winning form on Polytrack at Chelmsford (1m) and is 7lb lower than when successful at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm; first-time hood) in June last year; her efforts on the AW and over hurdles since returning in February leave her with plenty to prove, though, |
(3) Gannon Glory | | | | | | 5 | Brandon Wilkie | Adam West | Won for Richard Fahey (turf handicap) and Archie Watson (AW claimer) last summer, but ended the year with three quiet runs for this yard; enough to prove back from 280 days off, including stamina. |
4th (8) Regal Glory | | | | | | 4 | Georgia Dobie | Laura Mongan | Sole success came over C&D at the end of 2022 and she wasn't beaten far in three starts over 7f/1m here earlier in year; may still find one or two too good. |
3rd (1) Thanks Dad | | | | | | 4 | Joey Haynes | Scott Dixon | 0-8 but placed three times on the AW, his best effort when second of 11 in a Wolverhampton maiden (7f, Tapeta) in June; return to this trip should suit and is less exposed than his rivals; shortlisted. |
(5) San Francisco Bay | | | | | | 5 | Trevor Whelan | Henry Candy | 2lb lower than for the latest of two wins last summer and ran well in his first two starts back on the AW this summer, but a tame effort over C&D last time tempers enthusiasm. |
1st (2) Global Warning | | | | | | 8 | Liam Keniry | John Butler | 2lb higher than when landing a gamble at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) late last year; that his sole success in his last 26 starts, but that is less of an issue in a race like this; market should be revealing. |
2nd (4) Eight Mile | | | | | | 4 | Callum Shepherd | George Scott | Three wins last year included one over 1m at this track and he was surrounded by subsequent winners when third of eight in an amateur riders' event over the same trip here ten days ago; return to this trip should suit and a major player down another 1lb. |
(6) No News | | | | | | 4 | Oisin Murphy | J R Jenkins | Dual 7f Kempton winner last winter and back to form when beaten a head and a neck into third of six over C&D (first-time cheekpieces) six days ago; may be better suited to the long straight at Kempton, but still a player from the same mark. |
Thanks Dad is less exposed than his rivals and has shown ability, while No News is another to consider having gone close over C&D last time. However, EIGHT MILE makes the most appeal with his third here ten days ago having been franked by the subsequent wins of the second and fourth. Market support for Global Warning would be very significant.[David Bellingham]
Race 3: 15:00 Lingfield Get Raceday Ready Restricted Maiden Fillies' Stakes (For Horses In Bands C And D) (GBB Race) GB 6f 1y
(2) Dusky Rain | | | | | | 2 | William Cox | Paul Attwater | 50-1 when beating one home on last month's Yarmouth debut (6f, good to firm); has since left Tom Dascombe; best watched. |
(8) Bella D Top Celeb | | | | | | 2 | William Carson | Roger Teal | 20-1 when a tailed-off last of 13 on her Windsor debut (6f, good to firm) in July; half-sister to an AW winner but still makes no appeal. |
(11) Tattoo'd Lady | | | | | | 2 | Brandon Wilkie | David Loughnane | 150-1 when beating one home on last month's Carlisle debut (6f, good); improvement required. |
(12) Veronika | | | | | | 2 | Sam Hitchcott | Richard Hannon | 80-1 when a well-beaten ninth of 11 on her Salisbury debut (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; half-sister to an AW winner, but she needs to take a big step forward. |
3rd (9) Evanka | | | | | | 2 | Hayley Turner | Peter Chapple-Hyam | 28-1 when a well-held ninth of 14 on last month's Kempton debut (7f, Polytrack); stoutly bred on the dam's side so may be one for handicaps over further in due course. |
(4) Rinky Tinky Tinky | | | | | | 2 | Darragh Keenan | Rae Guest | 14-1 when a well-held fifth of six on her Nottingham debut (6f, good) three weeks ago; may need more time. |
4th (1) Desert Eye | | | | | | 2 | Callum Shepherd | Amy Murphy | 25-1 when seventh of nine on her Catterick debut (5f, good) 13 days ago; improvement needed, but she is a half-sister to a couple of useful AW winners; worth a second look. |
(10) Nick Of Time | | | | | | 2 | Jay Mackay | Michael Bell | March foal by Time Test; dam placed 7f AW (RPR 53), half-sister to winners Dan Troop (useful 7f/7.5f), Al Shoughor (6f AW) and Formal Order (2m4f/2m5f hurdle), out of Group-placed 6f 2yo winner Full Mandate; apprentice-ridden on debut and probably best watched. |
2nd (3) Loving Apprentice | | | | | | 2 | David Probert | Ed Dunlop | 33-1 when finishing in midfield on her Yarmouth debut (7f, good to soft) 16 days ago, not enjoying the clearest of runs; half-sister to an AW winner and the drop in trip shouldn't be an issue on breeding; may do better. |
(5) Sansanetti | | | | | | 2 | Rhys Clutterbuck | Dylan Cunha | May foal by Sottsass; 28,000euros yearling; half-sister to four winners including Simons King (1m-8.5f including 2yo; RPR 95), Vaynor (1m4f-1m6f including AW; 89) and Sannkala (1m; 79); dam 1m-1m1f winner (including French/UAE Listed; 114), closely related to 10.5f/1m4f Group 1 winner; stable landed the Brocklesby in March, but not known for winning newcomers otherwise and she may prefer further in time; watch market. |
(7) The Thames Lady | | | | | | 2 | Finley Marsh | Richard Hughes | March foal by Land Force; 45,000euros foal; 22,000gns yearling; sister to 6f winner Land Lover (RPR 75), half-sister to winners Miss Sugars (6f/1m 2yo including US Stakes; 91), Sir Prize (1m3f-1m4f AW; 84) and Sweet Poem (Greek 5.5f-6.5f); dam 6f AW 2yo winner (66); stable has its share of 2yo winners first time out, but looks to hold much stronger claims with Sayidah Dariyan; hooded for debut. |
1st (6) Sayidah Dariyan | | | | | | 2 | Oisin Murphy | Richard Hughes | Sent off 5-1 for her Windsor debut (6f, good to firm) eight days ago and, despite definite signs of greenness, showed plenty of promise when beaten 2l into third of 12; likely to improve and that effort makes her the one to beat; stable also runs the newcomer The Thames Lady. |
This looks a golden opportunity for SAYIDAH DARIYAN who showed plenty of promise, and not a little greenness, when third on her recent Windsor debut. Any improvement on that should make her hard to beat. Best of the others may be Loving Apprentice, who didn't enjoy the clearest of runs on her Yarmouth debut and is likely to have come on from that, while the once-raced Desert Eye is worth a second look being a half-sister to a couple of useful AW winners.[David Bellingham]
Race 4: 15:30 Lingfield Ben Woollacott Memorial Handicap (0-55) (6) 3yo+ GB 6f 1y
(8) Villas Bullet | | | | | | 3 | William Carver | Simon Hodgson | 3yo maiden who holds weak claims on form and finished last of nine in C&D event most recently; difficult to fancy. |
2nd (4) Don't Fight It | | | | | | 4 | Sean D Bowen | Jim & Suzi Best | Ran to a poor RPR at Chelmsford (33-1) last month on stable/seasonal debut; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |
(5) Cloudy Breeze | | | | | | 4 | Rhys Clutterbuck | Gary & Josh Moore | Inconsistent maiden who achieved little in sole outing this season; good chance on peak handicap effort but comes with risk. |
(6) Midnight Flame | | | | | | 4 | William Cox | Joe Ponting | Placed several times between last November and this June; not in the same form since and latest defeat took her record to 0-23. |
(3) Coast | | | | | | 5 | Joey Haynes | Scott Dixon | Suited by Lingfield (turf and AW) but hasn't lived up to market expectations twice since her early August success; rebound needed. |
3rd (7) Purple Poppy | | | | | | 6 | Sam Hitchcott | Jimmy Fox | Back in better form over C&D the last twice; record is just 1-31 but the win came off this mark at this track; clear possibilities. |
4th (1) Due Date | | | | | | 4 | Oisin Murphy | Charlie Wallis | Respectable strike-rate on AW this year; won only narrowly at Southwell most recently but is likely to remain competitive back up just 2lb. |
1st (2) Bluebells Boy | | | | | | 5 | David Probert | Darryll Holland | Won classified event on turf in June; has been placed in most AW attempts this year and holds solid claims returned to this sphere. |
Due Date (second choice) has crept back up the weights but he warrants respect for his productivity this year. Bluebells Boy has never won a handicap but he holds solid place claims on 2024 AW form. PURPLE POPPY (tentatively preferred) has a poor strike-rate but she's suited by this course and ran encouragingly the last twice.[Steve Boow]
Race 5: 16:00 Lingfield National Racehorse Week 7th-15th September Handicap (0-55) (6) 3yo+ GB 5f 6y
5th (4) Restricted | | | | | | 3 | Joey Haynes | Chelsea Banham | Runner-up in three 5f handicaps on the AW between April and last month; may have had excuses for modest efforts in 0-50 classified events the last twice, but is now 0-16 and others make more appeal. |
1st (5) Lion Ring | | | | | | 6 | Paddy Bradley | Andrew J Martin | Record of 1-47 sounds alarm bells but he's 6lb lower than when runner-up over C&D in May; latest third of 11 in a 0-50 classified event at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) was also a fair effort (first and fourth have won since). |
3rd (2) Havechatma | | | | | | 4 | Liam Keniry | Dean Ivory | Both wins over 6f on the AW late last year including one here; off six months before third of nine at Bath (5f, good) in June, but pulled his chance away over 6f back here last time; has a bit to prove over a sharp 5f like this. |
4th (3) Havana Sky | | | | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Ed Dunlop | Appreciated the drop in trip when off the mark at the seventh attempt in a 0-50 classified event at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; a further drop in trip poses a question back in a handicap, but he does come into this in form. |
2nd (1) Nordic Glory | | | | | | 5 | William Carson | Michael Attwater | In good form on turf lately including a success at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last month; his five wins prior to that had all come here, three of them over this trip; strong chance. |
Despite a record of 1-47 Lion Ring isn't without a chance in such a modest contest with the form of his latest Chelmsford third having been boosted, while the unexposed 3yo Havana Sky at least comes into this in winning form. The vote goes to five-time course winner NORDIC GLORY (nap) who has been running well on turf lately and should prove at least as potent back here.[David Bellingham]
Race 6: 16:30 Lingfield Steve Watts 20yrs At Lingfield Park Handicap (0-70) (5) 3yo GB 1m 4f
4th (4) Versatile | | | | | | 3 | William Carson | Michael Attwater | Unplaced in all six outings and has beaten a total of one rival in two starts for this yard; down another 3lb, but needs the step up in trip and new surface to make a big difference. |
1st (2) Sugarloaf Lenny | | | | | | 3 | Brandon Wilkie | William Knight | Returned to winning form in a Yarmouth handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last time; has finished first and second in two visits here and although up another 2f, his dam won over a similar trip in France; respected. |
2nd (5) Caballo De Mar | | | | | | 3 | Callum Shepherd | George Scott | Improved for the step up in trip and application of cheekpieces when third of 11 on handicap debut at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in July, but he hasn't built on that in two subsequent starts; dam won on the AW which is a cause for some optimism. |
5th (3) Francesco Baracca | | | | | | 3 | Georgia Dobie | Eve Johnson Houghton | Doubled his winning tally at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) 13 days ago and the form was boosted when the runner-up went one better at Wolverhampton last Thursday; high on the list from 4lb higher. |
3rd (1) Open Secret | | | | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Charlie Johnston | Front-runner who comes into this 0-10, but has made the frame on eight occasions and his fourth of ten in a 0-105 handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f, good to firm; first-time visor) reads well in the context of this race; ran well on the AW in his first two starts, but he isn't really progressing. |
Francesco Baracca won well at Kempton last time and should again make his presence felt from 4lb higher, but preference is for SUGARLOAF LENNY who has winning course form while his second over 1m2f here in July has worked out well in the meantime.[David Bellingham]
Race 7: 17:05 Lingfield Download The At The Races App Handicap (0-52) (6) 4yo+ GB 1m 2f
(14) No Such Luck | | | | | | 7 | Darragh Keenan | Roger Ingram | 2-33 with both wins coming over C&D, but unplaced in his last 12 starts and often compromises his chances by doing too much early. |
(12) Laurentia | | | | | | 8 | William Carson | John E Long | Below form in her last three starts, but is back off the same mark as when gaining her second C&D success in May; not favoured by the draw, though. |
(7) Rainbow Sign | | | | | | 6 | Trevor Whelan | Mark Pattinson | Dual 7f course winner who didn't seem to fail for stamina when beaten a head in a 0-50 classified event over C&D in July; the return to a handicap less of a concern than a record of 2-43. |
(3) Basilette | | | | | | 5 | George Downing | Seamus Mullins | Won a Stratford bumper in July last year, but 0-13 on the Flat since; twice went close off this mark on turf in May, but unplaced in five starts on the AW; needs the switch to blinkers (from cheekpieces) to make a difference. |
(11) Sea The Buckthorn | | | | | | 4 | Tyler Heard | Mark Usher | 1-22, his win coming at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in January; tongue-tie given a go and has something to prove on this first start beyond an extended 1m. |
(10) Miss Sligo | | | | | | 7 | William Carver | Jamie Osborne | Dual C&D winner who is almost exclusively seen in 0-50 classified events these days; losing run up to 14 and this trip (especially on a sharp track like this) is probably an inadequate test for her now. |
(8) Magical Dragon | | | | | | 7 | David Probert | Patrick Chamings | 2-33 with his latest win coming in a similar contest over C&D last October; around a length behind Sir Laurence Graff in a 0-50 classified event at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) 12 days ago and meets him on the same terms; others make more appeal. |
1st (9) Sir Laurence Graff | | | | | | 4 | Joey Haynes | Chelsea Banham | Won a Chelmsford novice (1m2f, Polytrack) for the Gosdens in November 2022, but was placing for the first time since when third of ten in a 0-50 classified event back there 12 days ago; each-way shout if building on that. |
(1) Star Of Epsom | | | | | | 6 | Paddy Bradley | Pat Phelan | Record over C&D reads 4-9, her latest win coming from just 1lb lower last December (has never won anywhere else); her liking for these conditions is a positive, but stall 13 is a problem. |
(2) Semser | | | | | | 7 | Rhys Clutterbuck | Gary & Josh Moore | Course winner (1m4f) who has dropped 15lb below his last winning mark, but his losing run is up to 14 and he will do well to win this from the outside stall. |
(5) Miss Harmony | | | | | | 5 | Joe Bradnam | Michael Bell | 10lb lower than when successful over C&D in March last year, but that her only win in her last 26 starts; others make more appeal. |
4th (13) Iftikhaar | | | | | | 5 | Oisin Murphy | J R Jenkins | In the frame in four of his five starts over C&D, but now 0-21 and stall 12 is of little help. |
2nd (4) Lost In Time | | | | | | 7 | Jimmy Quinn | Dean Ivory | Now 6lb lower then when successful here (1m4f) last December and suggested he might be on the way back when beaten less than a length into second of 12 at Bath (11.6f, good) six days ago; respected off the same mark. |
3rd (6) Forever Proud | | | | | | 4 | Sean D Bowen | James Owen | Has won a 0-50 classified event and a handicap over C&D this year; solid efforts back here the last twice and worth a second look on stable debut having changed hands for 8,000gns last month. |
Had she been drawn lower course-specialist Star Of Epsom would have been much higher up the list, but as it is preference is for LOST IN TIME who is much better berthed in stall four and who is 6lb lower than when winning here late last year. His latest effort suggested he may be on the way back. Forever Proud has won twice over C&D this year and is worth a second look on stable debut.[David Bellingham]
Race 8: 17:35 Lingfield Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap (0-70) (5) 3yo+ GB 1m 1y
(6) Betties Bay | | | | | | 3 | William Cox | Georgina Nicholls | Newbury maiden winner (6f, good) in July last year and ran well when third of ten on her Kempton return (6f, Polytrack) in February, but out of the frame in six starts since; needs the first-time tongue-tie to make a difference. |
(10) Celtic John | | | | | | 3 | Paddy Bradley | Pat Phelan | Out of the frame in a Windsor maiden and two Kempton novices this summer, though he showed a bit more when fifth of nine at the latter track (7f) 13 days ago; open to improvement on handicap debut. |
3rd (3) Francesi | | | | | | 5 | Sam Garcia | S Woods | Landed a C&D novice in April 2022, but that his only success in 28 starts; drops into a 0-70 for the first time, but still has something to prove given his strike-rate. |
4th (4) Darvel | | | | | | 6 | David Probert | Patrick Chamings | Hasn't shone in two starts over C&D and hasn't built on his successful return from six months off at Bath (1m, good) in April; off three months and although proven fresh, others make greater appeal. |
(8) Ocean Odyssey | | | | | | 3 | Kyle Strydom | Gary & Josh Moore | Made a promising debut at Leopardstown just over a year ago, but has gone backwards since and both starts for this yard since being gelded have been dire; half-brother to dirt/AW winners, but he needs a transformation. |
(2) Tadreeb | | | | | | 6 | William Carson | Michael Attwater | 0-14 since winning twice over 7f here at the start of 2022, the latest from 19lb higher; ran well when third of ten over the same trip here a fortnight ago (winner has gone in again since); this trip may just stretch him, but still respected down 2lb with cheekpieces given a go. |
(11) Never Mind Me | | | | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Andrew Balding | Twice beaten half a length this summer, at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) in June and at Sandown (1m, good to firm) in July; a player on those efforts, but he reportedly bled at Kempton last month which would be a concern. |
(5) Jazzy Angel | | | | | | 3 | Hayley Turner | Harry Eustace | Record in Tapeta handicaps last winter read 121 and she probably needed her return from 188 days off at Newmarket last month; needs to have come on from that. |
(9) Ring Of Light | | | | | | 6 | Trevor Whelan | Henry Candy | Completed an AW hat-trick in the autumn of 2022, but despite having dropped below the marks he defied for his last two wins he has fallen just short of late; down another 1lb but others look more compelling. |
2nd (7) Cavalry Call | | | | | | 3 | Harry Davies | Simon & Ed Crisford | Out of the frame in six starts including one on Polytrack at Kempton; another 3lb drop not enough to tempt. |
1st (1) Kalamunda | | | | | | 4 | James Doyle | Joseph Parr | 0-8 on turf, but made it 3-3 on the AW with a convincing success at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) a week ago; has winning form on Polytrack (at Kempton) and his 5lb penalty may not be enough to stop him from going in again. |
There may be more to come from Celtic John now switched to a handicap, while Tadreeb makes the shortlist having dropped a long way in the weights and performed better when third over 7f here last time. However, KALAMUNDA did it nicely at Southwell seven days ago and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to stop him from making it 4-4 on the AW.[David Bellingham]
