More sub standard stuff today but we there is one race of interest.

Wings Of Faith was early favourite for Lingfield's 4.20 and I thought he was a poor one. He finished all too late at Kempton last time out and has proved frustrating all year. He is not a horse to back at a short price on what he has shown so far and it is no surprise he drifted. Hugh Taylor's selection has crashed in the markets, it looks to have a chance, but is a completely false price now. The rest at shorter prices look fairly exposed.

Two horses interest me at huge prices. Dave Evans runs Arkellion, whom he picked up from the Haynes yard after his first start and gelded. Since then he has shown a glimmer of hope in two decent maidens, but he enters nursery company of a very fair mark of 55 and may just be a bit better than that. The booking of a top jockey who boasts a 21% strike rate for the yard, who will have to do his lowest weight of 8-8 on order not to put up overweight, takes the eye very much. Callan hangs around 30 mins for his third ride of they day and that might be significant.

Dragonella represents Bryn Palling who has a winner from just three runners at this track in the past five years. The selection improved for her first two runs when showing very good early speed at Kempton in a maiden which has worked out quite well. The winner has since won a group 3, and the rest of the field have acquited themselves well at a lower level. She shaped as if 6f was her trip that day and the step back will suit. She is well drawn in stall ten for one who likes to race prominently and 25/1 is too big.

Best Recommendation:

4.20 Lingfield 2pts win Arkellion @ 20/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)

4.20 Lingfield 2pts win Dragonessa @ 25/1 (Generally, get guaranteed) Won
