13:15 (Lingfield) Destinado
James Owen has Destinado in great heart at present, winning three of his last four.
He faces some decent rivals in the BetUK. Home Of The Acca-Fenwa Handicap, but even a 9lb rise for his latest triumph here might not be enough to stop him.
14:45 (Lingfield) Caustic
The Owen Burrows-trained Caustic was second in two bumpers before he had his attentions turned to the Flat.
He was beaten less than three lengths into third at Wolverhampton but blew all chance coming out of the stalls.
It was to his credit he was only beaten around three lengths, so if Burrows has sorted that problem out, he could be a different proposition in the BetUK. It’s Where The UK Bets Novice Stakes.
15:45 (Lingfield) Berrygate
Berrygate placed in all four career starts including when beaten a neck on handicap debut in latest and will be a strong contender.
Amancio has been off the track since finishing fifth as favourite during October. Unexposed on this surface.
Silver Trumpet provided limited form in three attempts however might be one to note in the betting delivering initial handicap outing.
Irrelevant is yet to have many opportunities for this yard and could get involved.
16:20 (Lingfield) Musical Diva
Musical Diva won her past two starts both over five furlongs. Up in journey and may prove hard to beat if stamina holds out.
She Is A Keeper was a winner on debut for this yard before finishing fourth next time and shouldn't be discounted.
Hot Front finished fourth both attempts and is worth a chance tackling the longer trip.
Wren Officer brings proven form with this distance and could be thereabouts.
Lingfield selections in full:
LINGFIELD: 1.15 Destinado, 1.45 A Pint Of Bear, 2.15 Neptune Legend, 2.45 Caustic, 3.15 Shalfa, 3.45 Berrygate, 4.20 Musical Diva.
