My picks for Lingfield on Friday

·

13:20 Lingfield Fri 31 Mar 1m Hcap

  1. Eight Mile (IRE) – He’s been an expensive horse to follow but has shown potential and had an excused run last time. His strong finish at his last race suggests he could perform well at this distance.
  2. Empire Of The Sun – Although his previous form has been poor, there could be a bigger run in him as he steps up in trip and enters low-grade handicaps. He might be an interesting contender in this race.
  3. Doves Of Peace (IRE) – Although he hasn’t performed well in his sprint runs, he is bred to stay this far and could potentially do much better at this level. Keep an eye on market confidence for this horse.

13:50 Lingfield Fri 31 Mar 6f Hcap

  1. Kitbag – With a C&D win and a strong second-place finish at Wolverhampton, Kitbag seems to be in good form and remains well treated. If he can maintain the same level of performance, he could be a serious contender in this race.
  2. Mucky Mulconry – After an encouraging start with new connections at Wolverhampton, Mucky Mulconry showed potential for improvement. The drop in weight and the extra furlong could help him take a significant step forward in this race.
  3. Ghost Lights – Despite being a thrice-raced maiden, Ghost Lights has shown some positives in his recent runs. Now handicapping at a realistic level and returning to 6f, he could be a notable contender if he performs well.

14:25 Lingfield Fri 31 Mar 6f Hcap

  1. Champagne Supanova: With a drop in grade, previous C&D win, and a recent good performance over 7f at this course, Champagne Supanova is a strong contender for the win.
  2. My Boy Jack: Coming off a recent win and a strong second-place finish at Southwell, My Boy Jack seems to be in good form and is a leading contender in this race.
  3. Real Estate: A 3-time C&D winner with a solid recent performance at Chelmsford City, Real Estate is well suited to these conditions and merits consideration for a top 3 finish.

15:00 Lingfield Fri 31 Mar 7f Mdn Stks

  1. Sharp Power (IRE) – Has shown consistency in his previous runs and has form claims. The extra furlong should suit him, and he sets the standard for this race. Likely to be a strong contender.
  2. Sceptic (IRE) – Travelled well in his debut race at Newmarket and has scope for improvement. Gelded over the winter and should be considered, especially if well-supported in the betting.
  3. Musical Tribute – Showed improved form in her second run as a 2-year-old at Yarmouth. Despite the eight-month absence, she comes from a fast family and should not be discounted, given her potential to handle the 7f distance.

While these are the top 3 selections, keep an eye on Heart Of Summer and Sugar Hill, as market support for either of them could indicate an improved performance.

15:35 Lingfield Fri 31 Mar 1m2f Hcap

  1. Cantora – This horse appears to have a lot of potential and has shown good form in previous races, especially on heavy ground. With a dam that was a 1m4f winner, Cantora seems well-suited to the extra distance and has room for improvement. If the surface is suitable, Cantora has a strong chance of winning this race.
  2. Rubina Rose – After a clearcut win at Wolverhampton with a hood and an increase in distance, Rubina Rose seems to have more to offer. With stamina in her pedigree and only 5lb higher today, she has solid claims and could be a strong contender in this race.
  3. Star From Afarhh – The addition of first-time cheekpieces could have been a game-changer for this horse, as she achieved a win at Chelmsford not too long ago. She remains well-treated based on her old form and it’s possible that she has turned a corner with the new headgear. Star From Afarhh could be a serious threat in this race if she continues to perform well with the cheekpieces.

16:05 Lingfield Fri 31 Mar 1m4f Hcap

  1. Sausalito – With an impressive 5-win streak since the visor was fitted, including the last two wins over C&D, Sausalito appears to be in top form. Despite carrying a 5lb penalty, he has shown he can dominate the race and should be a serious contender.
  2. Imperial Cult – Displayed significant improvement in his last C&D handicap run, finishing as a strong third. With potential for further progress, he is a horse to watch and is likely to be in the mix again.
  3. Hooves Like Jagger – Consistent and knocking at the door over the winter, he has been placed in four of his last five starts. There’s no obvious reason why he wouldn’t give it another good go and should be in contention down in trip.

16:35 Lingfield Fri 31 Mar 5f Hcap

  1. Pablo Del Pueblo: With a career-best performance recently, winning a 7-runner handicap at this C&D 24 days ago, and a useful Topspeed figure, he should be competitive in this race. The 4lb rise in weight should not be a major concern, given his current form.
  2. Man On A Mission: A consistent contender with three C&D wins, his recent third-place finish in a handicap at Southwell, and multiple victories over the winter season make him a strong candidate. He has the potential to get much closer to the competition today, and his chances should be taken seriously.
  3. Lynns Boy: After a game win at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and with only a 1lb rise in weight, Lynns Boy should not be discounted. He has landed the inside stall, and although he is up in class, his performance suggests he could be a serious threat to the other contenders.
