13:00 (Lingfield) Dashing Darcey
Dashing Darcey is the pick in the second division of the Boost Your Acca At BetMGM/EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes.
Sent off favourite on his Wolverhampton debut, the Muhaarar colt was pulled up not long after the start as his rider felt something was amiss.
He enjoyed a better run at the second attempt though, being beaten just a neck at Newcastle after a slightly slow start, and he should be up to winning a race of this nature.
14:05 (Lingfield ) Light Speed
Light Speed can chalk up his hat-trick in the BetUK. Home Of The Acca-Fenwa Handicap.
Trained by Andrew Balding, the Mehmas gelding has now won two of his three career starts, having put an initial sixth at Southwell in October well behind him.
Seven furlongs looked a bit on the short side first time up, but he clearly learnt plenty for the run, as he kept on well over that trip to score at the second time of asking before moving up to an extended mile.
Light Speed seemed to appreciate the extra distance as he won with a degree of authority that is perhaps not quite accounted for in his opening mark of 80.
The dam’s side of his family is all stamina so another leap to 10 furlongs here should not be an issue.
15:05 (Lingifield) Sea Me Dance
Sea Me Dance found a new level upped to 14 furlongs and now she tackles two miles in the Boost Your Acca-Fenwa With BetUK Handicap.
She ran into some decent types on her two juvenile starts and has raced consistently over a mile and a half, but took another step forward at Wolverhampton last time when a convincing length winner.
Her breeding suggests two miles should be within her compass
15:35 (Lingfield) Mumayaz
Mumayaz is consistent and will be a leading contender in the last race of the day.
Placed second twice here including over course and distance prior to a runner-up effort at Wolverhampton tackling a higher graded 6f handicap.
Sixties Chic brings strong form with a Wolverhampton success preceding a close second over seven furlongs and will be the main danger.
A Pint Of Bear did well at Wolverhampton when 1.5L third attempting this journey and should be respected.
