Race Preview
FOX DUTY FREE claimed a third-place finish a month ago at Wolverhampton. That was a close third as well.
Fox Duty Free has not been the most reliable of runners since taking a win in this very fixture 12 months ago. But a return could revive him.
IMPERIAL SANDS was a good second at the course and distance in a handicap effort 48 days ago.
Any kind of repeat in form should put him right back in the frame. Imperial Sands has been in the frame (including a win) in three of his four previous Polytrack attempts.
MOBASHR is unexposed but warrants a look in this one.
It has been two wins from four runs by him so far and one of those was at course and distance.
He was third at Chelmsford three weeks ago and he does look as if he could have more to offer as well.
Ones to watch: Imperial Sands 5/2, Fox Duty Free 2/1

LUCKY AVA is of interest in this handicap action as she has stayed in some good form for a while now.
Lucky Ava is a former course and distance winner and 2021 has seen her win three times.
The most recent of those was at Chelmsford City in August.
She looked sharp as she was only just touched off by a short head in a course and distance handicap 41 days ago. Lucky Ava is expected to be bang there.
SIR RODNEYREDBLOOD does need a little bit of a bounceback after a struggle at Chelmsford City last time out.
But that can be shrugged off for the former course and distance winner.
Sir Rodneyredblood has won three of his last six efforts and is good enough with the frame of mind to bounce back.
ROSE HIP is another of the course and distance winners in this one.
The latest win that she had was on her penultimate run which was here at Lingfield.
So she should be firmly involved as well and she looked to be in good form with a fourth at Southwell three weeks ago. Rose Hip can mount a challenge.
Ones to watch: Lihou 3/1, Sir Rodneyredblood 15/2

Distance: 3m

LIGHT FLICKER claimed a win on his latest outing which was at Market Rasen a month ago.
He has won before at course and distance and even though he is up 5lb now for this one, he has to rate as a big danger.
ON THE PLATFORM made a winning start on his reappearance run over the hurdles. He has been in chase action since then.
There was a fourth-place finish for him in a handicap at Ludlow 25 days ago, suggesting that he has stayed in competitive form over the fences.
On The Platform merits consideration.
ONE FER MAMMA made his chase debut a couple of weeks ago and there were encouraging signs there.
He took a third-place finish at Ffos Las and he may have enough to progress with the cheekpieces going on for the first time too.
Ones to watch: On The Platform 11/2, One Fer Mamma 11/2

Race Type: CLass 3 handicap hurdle
Age: 3-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 7
Distance: 2m 3f

TAP TAP BOOM gets on the shortlist as he looks as if he could possibly take a good step forward.
After a break of more than a year, Tap Tap Boom returned with a third-place finish at Hereford three weeks ago.
Tap Tap Boom pairs up with the same jockey again and should make his presence felt.
DORKING BOY also is a solid one to consider for the shortlist in horse racing betting. He picked up a win on his seasonable reappearance at Ayr in October.
Dorking Boy has been a little below par over the hurdles since, and connections have turned to the hood to focus him.
NO WORD OF A LIE took a win over the hurdles last time out. That was his third attempt in this sphere.
He keeps the partnership with the same jockey and stepping into his handicap debut on Friday, No Word Of A Lie poses a threat.
Ones to watch: No Word Of A Lie 2/1, Dorking Boy 4/1

Declared Runners: 10
Distance: 2m 4f

GRACES ODER steps into chasing for the first time on Friday. She has produced some decent hurdles form.
Grace’s Order was last seen 254 days ago but has had a wind op and makes for an interesting player on her reappearance.
CHAMBARD saw his form fade away over the hurdles at the end of last season. But this isn’t a deep field so he could find a revival.
It’s been a break of eight months for Chambard who has had a wind op.
The return to chasing could be the thing he needs and his yard has won this before.
DOCPICKEDME has produced some reasonable form this season over the hurdles and could make an impact.
He went into handicapping for the first time at Southwell three weeks ago and took a credible fifth of seven.
Docpckedme could kick on from there and the cheekpieces stay on to help.
Ones to watch: Chambard 5/2, Graces Order 7/1

Race Type: Class 4 handicap chase

Declared Runners: 9

SOMEKINDOFSTAR will probably be well backed for this one as he gets the visor on for the first time on Friday.
Back in March, he doubled his tally over the fences with a score at Leicester.
On his latest run which was three weeks ago, he looked very sharp in taking a runner up spot.
NEIL THE LEGEND has gone back to Nicky Henderson as he looks for a big revival.
He won for Henderson over the fences last December to get off the mark in this sphere.
But he was nowhere near as good as that third year for a different yard. Can Neil The Legend find a big enough revival?
MOLLY CAREW is a decent one on her day and she finished last season bang in form taking back to back wins.
The latest of those was at Haydock in April.
On her appearances she put in a decent effort at Cheltenham even though the result wasn’t there, Molly Carew shaped well enough to suggest that she has more to come.
Ones to watch: Molly Carew 12/1, Neil The Legend 4/1
