Lingfield Winter Million meeting could be next Bristol De Mai target

It's a rich man's world and Nigel Twiston-Davies could target the Lingfield Winter Million meeting in January, the new lucrative three day event at the Surrey track.

Team Twiston-Davies are ready to join the million club with chaser Bristol De Mai as Lingfield's new Winter Million meeting is on the cards.

The popular grey was pulled up when bidding for a third victory in last month's Betfair Chase at Haydock, with connections putting his disappointing effort down to the unseasonably dry ground.
Twiston-Davies reports his stable stalwart to be none the worse and plans to run him again after the turn of the year - either in Lingfield's £150,000 feature on January 23 or the Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham the following weekend.
"He's 100 per cent," said the Naunton handler.
"There's a new race at Lingfield - a valuable race over two-six (two miles and six furlongs). We could easily look at that and there's the Cotswold Chase, those sort of things.
"He's in good heart and the rain has come now, which was too late for Haydock obviously.
"I always say he doesn't actually love heavy ground, but he handles it better than anybody else."

The three-day meeting comes with a combined total purse of a million pounds and runs from 21-23 January 2022.
