Race Preview

BLACK FRIDAY is the first on the shortlist for this handicap at Ayr on Monday.

There is history there were three previous C&D wins for him.

This will be a reappearance run for him, but he kicked off last season with a fine run.

Black Friday looks to be on a handy mark and could make an impression.

CALL ME GINGER is another that warrants respect having had a reappearance run under his belt.

That was at Musselburgh 9 days ago, with a sixth-place finish. Last season he completed a hattrick with a C&D win by landing the Ayr Bronze Cup.

SOLDIER’S MINUTE won his penultimate fixture, and he is a decent performer but hasn’t won before despite some solid runs at Ayr.

He does need a bounce-back because he was poor at Newcastle on Friday.

A near-miss in last Autumn’s C&D Silver Cup suggests that Soldier’s Minute could be a threat.

Tip: CALL ME GINGER 3/1

Ones to watch: Soldier’s Minute 15/8, Black Friday 6/1

RUN THIS WAY opened the season with a victory, that coming in a big field over course and distance.

As the victory was landed just a couple of weeks ago, she warrants further respect here.

Run This Way won’t likely find the going as favourable, but could still produce a bold effort.

ASADJUMEIRAH last picked up a victory in February at Newcastle, but he hasn’t added to it in the last four.

Adajumeirah was well below par in a Lingfield handicap 10 days when finishing fourth. But the switch back to the turf is likely to see him show well.

OSO RAPIDO could be sharper for having had a recent run at Newcastle a month ago.

That was a reappearance run, so it could help him out on Monday. There were three wins from ten efforts by Oso Rapdio last term.

Tip: RUN THIS WAY 9/4

Ones to watch: Asadjumeirah 4/1, Oso Rapido 8/1

Race Type: Class 4
Age: 4-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 8
Distance: 1m 2f

Race Preview

TREGONY has to be respected for this contest if she picks straight up from where she left off in the previous campaign.

The course and distance winner scored half of her ten runs last season.

She returns only 4lb up from an impressive win at Newcastle on her final of the season.

Tregony has to get involved if she puts it all together with fresh on Monday. She looks the one to beat.

MERCIAN HYMN is not without a chance and is much in the same boat as Tregony.

Mercian Hymns finished last season on the up, winning his last two, the latter of those at Kempton delivered impressively.

Mercian Hymn returns 9lb higher after his break. He clearly warrants respect though still.

DARLECTABLE YOU is the final shortlisted selection in this contest in which will be her fourth run.

She’s still a maiden, but with superb breeding and coming back stronger as a 4-year-old from a top yard, there could be something from Darlectable You on her handicap debut.

Tip: TREGONY 11/4

Ones to watch: Mercian Hymn 7/2, Darlectable You 9/4

Race Type: Class 4

Distance: 1m 2f

Race Preview

BUSBY could have a strong say in proceeding in this competitive handicap at Ayr on Monday.

He picked up a win in March at Wolverhampton, on what was his penultimate run.

Busby followed that up 17 days ago with a credible place finish at Kempton after a slow start.

It’s not often that Busby gets a spin on the turf, but he warrants respect in this company.

LIFE ON THE ROCKS makes a reappearance run on Monday after his final run of last season failed to go his way.

Life On The Rocks did make a decent impression on his first couple of handicaps.

The conditions should suit and Life On The Rocks should be a big player.

BRIARDALE is a very interesting contender in this field and the opposition will probably be keen not to let him have his way from the front.

Briardale makes his reappearance run on Monday and looks to build on a good 2021 campaign in which he won three times.

He’s down in the weights and could feature.

Tip: BRIARDALE 9/2

Ones to watch: Busy 3/1, Life On The Rocks 3/1

SMART BOYO has produced a fine run of form, which started with a win on a 2m trip at Kempton in February.

His follow-ups on the flat have seen him take back to back runner-up spots. He was last seen 16 days ago over the hurdles.

There was nothing in that race for Smart Boyo, but he warrants a ton of respect for moving back to the level.

DESERT QUEST had a good time of things last season, taking a couple of victories in the summer.

His final start of the campaign wasn’t great in September.

But he’s back refreshed and with favourable conditions, he should be right in it.

AMOURIE was excellent landing an all-weather score at Wolverhampton just over a month ago.

She has proven to be effective on the turf before, so she warrants respect. Amrouie gets a 4lb rise for Monday.

Tip: DESERT QUEST 5/1

Ones to watch: Smart Boyo 5/2, Amourie 9/4

16:20 Lingfield Handicap Horse Racing Tip

Race Type: Class 5
Age: 4-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 8
Distance: 7f

Race Preview

BLUE FLAME will be under a 5lb penalty for Monday’s run, but he looks to be the one to beat.

There was a score at Wolverhampton by him a week ago, which is why the penalty is in place.

Blue Flame was well on top of his latest run and this trip could be manageable for him.

DOURADO was fourth at Windsor three weeks ago on his latest run. He’s on a long winless streak.

But he looks to be well handicapped at the moment, and we’ll have a chance because of that. Place claims may be there.

SIR SEDRIC is 1lb down below his last winning mark and left a good impression at course and distance on his latest.

That was his first run for the new year so there is a chance that he can give another good account of himself on Monday.

Tip: BLUE FLAME 11/10

Ones to watch: Sir Sedric 5/1, Dourado 6/1
