HEADLINE

PROMINNA IS WELL TICKED UP AT LINGFIELD

 

PROMINNA (nap) hinted at a return to winning ways when just denied by Hurricane Alert over this track and trip three weeks ago, a performance that also saw him register a list-topping speed rating of 80.

Lightly raced this term and with first-time cheekpieces fitted this afternoon, the gelding simply has too many ticks in the important boxes to be ignored this time around.

Pencilled in odds of 4-1 are another reason to look to get involved.

Dundalk 6-45 Stakes 8f

 Horse  Best  Lto  2nd  3rd  4th  5th  6th
 Sky Seven  79  79  44  51  --  --  --
 Jupiter Road  71  71  46  --  --  --  --
 Lafayette Hill  68  68  55  53  (58)  (59)  (66)
 Major Reward  49  49  --  --  --  --  --

LTO Speed: Sky Seven 79 Jupiter Road 71 Lafayette Hill 68

A competitive median auction stakes, with three of the seven runners having won last time out. SKY SEVEN (nb) wasn't one of them, but his second to Numerian over seven furlongs at this venue latest did translate into a list-topping speed rating of 79. More than that, the winner and third both posted significantly bigger figures next time out. A lightly raced 3yo son of Helmet, the selection is bred to stay every yard of tonight's longer trip of one mile, and has already proven that he is a consistent sort.

 

Lingfield 4-55 Handicap (Class 5) 10f

 Horse  Best  Lto  2nd  3rd  4th  5th  6th
 Lacan  88  81  64  69  88  86  81
 Presence Process  82  61  56  --  82  --  --
 Magic Mirror  82  79  46  59  57  65  81
 Shyron  79  33  15  67  79  63  62

LTO Speed: Lacan 81 Magic Mirror 79 Pendo 71

LACAN has done all of his winning over one mile to date, but as a son of Derby winner New Approach should be just as effective over this longer trip of ten furlongs. Failing to get competitive over a mile at this venue latest, today's greater test of stamina should see him get more competitive at the business end, while his pencilled in odds of 10-1 means we can spread the risk a little and back him each-way.

 

Newbury 1-45 Novices Hurdle (Class 3) 20f

 Horse  Best  Lto  2nd  3rd  4th  5th  6th
 Breaking Waves  89  89  59  46  (--)  --  --
 The Wolf  85  85  82  51  (--)  --  --
 Remastered  83  79  83  --  --  --  --
 Smith's Bay  80  80  --  --  --  --  --

LTO Speed: Breaking Waves 89 The Wolf 85 Smith's Bay 80

BREAKING WAVES posted a list-topping speed rating of 89 when scoring at Huntingdon last month, while at the same time proving himself to be fully effective over a galloping two and a half miles on rain softened ground. Lightly raced in this sphere, the gelding is fancied to go in again this afternoon, while his early bird odds of 3-1 with bet365 can be considered more than fair. That firm has Morning Vicar chalked up as the 7-4 favourite, but he didn't beat much at Ludlow latest, or post a speed rating of note.

 

Newbury 4-30 Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 16f

 Horse  Best  Lto  2nd  3rd  4th  5th  6th
 Maquisard  112  --  112  --  92  80  --
 Our Merlin  109  72  --  99  109  72  49
 Prince Charmin'  98  98  --  --  --  --  --
 William H Bonney  91  91  79  76  --  --  --

LTO Speed: Prince Charmin' 98 William H Bonney 91 Late Night Lily 79

MAQUISARD wasn't out of it when hampered and unseating rider three out at this track earlier in the month, while his second at Sandown on his previous outing translated into a list-topping speed rating of 112. Up another notch in class this afternoon, it might not be enough to stop the gelding from getting back to winning ways, not that his overall record is all that robust. A 6-1 shot with bet365 at the time of writing, those odds are big enough to keep me interested in him as a betting proposition.

 

Newcastle 7-00 Handicap (Class 4) 7f

 Horse  Best  Lto  2nd  3rd  4th  5th  6th
 Chosen World  91  91  57  62  75  84  82
 Alexandrakollontai  91  65  42  91  76  52  --
 Testa Rossa  88  39  63  50  43  87  54
 Mudawwan  85  60  64  61  85  (33)  --

LTO Speed: Chosen World 91 Firmdecisions 79 Logi 74

CHOSEN WORLD looked to be a step or two ahead of the handicapper when coming from the rear to score readily over this track and trip last month, a performance that also saw him register a career-best speed rating of 91. Winner of three of his last five starts, this 5yo son of Intikhab must have every chance of overcoming a one grade hike in class this evening and finishing with his head in front again, even more so as he has enough variable speed about him to handle any pace scenario.
