Analysis for Lingfield and 1 of interest at Kempton.

Lingfield

1.12 versatile 25, boom or bust, he has a visor on first time has dropped 10lb since his last winning mark admittedly it was in a 4 runner race. His last run was not completely devoid of promise considering he fell asleep in the stalls giving away 3 or 4 lengths at the start. He travelled quite well to be fair after a 103 day break and just shaped like he would improve a bit for the run. His only other try over the cd was in September 2024 in which watching the race back was a good run in the context of this race beaten just 2 lengths in a class 5 off a mark of 67 and was hampered quite significantly in the closing stages, he then went to Kempton and ran a belter in 3rd in another class 5. Last year after a 161 days off he finished 2nd to last at Kempton over 12f and the nhis 2nd start he won at Bath leading all the way off a mark of 63. I'm hoping lightning strikes twice as he was held up after a slow start last time out but travelled well after 103 days off, this time I'm hoping one of the top amateur jockeys eiraenn cagney whos stats over the last year read 42 rides 9 winners 14 places 21.43 % strike rate will have versatile reasonably prominent with visor fitted first time and not a lot of pace forecast. It's boom or bust and obviously a small outside chance but at forecast price of 25s I'd play small.

2.42 Coolagh magic 14, as I said 15 days ago and a month ago he's a horse I'm keeping an eye on, this is his track and he's 4lb lower than his last winning mark although Jack doughty did claim 3lb that day. His run over 5f over cd on the 29th January wasn't devoid of promise after wind surgery finishing 4th but staying on to some effect, he then ran over 6f here and was hung out the back and never really getting into the race and he's been dropped 3lb for that. He now runs without the tongue tie and his last 3 wins have all come with tongue tie and visor on. It might just be another run out again tomorrow but Im pretty sure the day he's ready he'll be well backed so I'll be waiting to see the vibes in the parade and the market close to the off would need to be strong for me to get involved.

Whether it's tomorrow or in a month's time I'll be waiting for him.

3.12 global warning 5/2, ran well last time out in 2nd when tam lin was in 3rd a length behind, enjoys this cd and is hitting form off a reasonable mark. He is fc to be 9/4 though so not exactly rushing to get my runners out. Likely a no play for me.

4.12 nicely curved 7/2 ,ran well first time in the uk over this cd in 2nd finishing nicely having been racing over in America! There could be a bit more in the tank considering he'd had a 179 days off prior to his British debut.

4.42 watermelon sugar 3, good chance on recent form, has a record of 5 runs 3 wins and 2 places over cd. Is still a pound lower than his win this time last year and he bumped into one last time out in Betties bay who has won again for us since. Twirler was 2.5 lengths back in 3rd and has won since aswel. This is a slight dip in grade a 0-60 rather than a 0-65. 3s would be a fair price.
