The main handicap at Lingfield on Thursday is the 0-75 contest for 3yos over 6.40, in which it may be worth taking a chance with BOOZIEBRUNCH. Sean Woods’ gelding remains 7lb higher than when bolting up from three rivals at Chelmsford in August last year, but he has since shown that he is capable of scoring off this sort of mark, being 1lb lower than when twice runner-up on the AW in the meantime.

YEHUDI can take the opening 0-65 handicap over 7f at 5.10. It took Mark Loughnane’s gelding 18 attempts to get off the mark, but he did do in good style over this trip at Kempton last month. You often find that when a horse like him does finally get his head in front the confidence he will have gained from that will enable them to win again. Certainly a 3lb rise still leaves him feasibly treated on his AW form from the start of the year.

Although up against several unexposed 3yos, BELLA BISBEE can take the 0-70 fillies’ handicap over the same trip at 7.10. Scott Dixon’s mare defied the widest stall when scoring over course and distance in April (form worked out well) and although unable to add to that in three outings since, one of those was in a 0-85 contest and the latest was on turf.

SAIL ON SAILOR can take the closing 0-60 handicap for 3yos over 1m at 8.40. Simon Dow’s gelding has done well since returning from five months off in March, culminating in a last-gasp success at Bath last month for which he has been put up 3lb. He had previously finished third of 12 over this course and distance and would have finished even closer had he not given away ground on the turn for home. David Bellingham
