LINGFIELD PARK
Race 2 No2 POCKET THE PACKET (Nap)
Trainer: George Boughey – Jockey: Ryan Moore
Moore is an eye-catching booking for POCKET THE PACKET who is well drawn and absolutely hacked up here last week. The chestnut is the winner of five of his last eight outings, and even though this race is tougher, he is strongly advised as the horse to beat.
Race 3 No2 BEAU GESTE (Each Way)
Trainer: Tony Carroll – Jockey: Molly Gunn
The admirably consistent BEAU GESTE put in another earning run when returning to sand here earlier in the week when unconsidered in the betting market. It raises hoped that he can break a long losing run going back to the summer of 2021, and one thing for certain for that run is he will have benefitted from it.
Race 5 No11 MISS BELLA BRAND (Each Way)
Trainer: Ilka Gansera-leveque – Jockey: George Wood
Respect is afforded to recent scorer Poetic Force, but narrowly preferred is MISS BELLA BRAND, whose incredible earning run stretched itself to a sequence eleven from her last 12 starts in which she has stayed away from Lingfield. The Poet’s Voice mare won here last Match, and following a narrow defeat at Kempton last week can bring her A-game to the table.
Race 6 No3 AL AGAILA
Trainer: Simon Crisford – Jockey: James Doyle
This is a fascinating distaffers’ race in which memories of AL AGAILA hardly coming off the bridle to score on her handicap debut over course and distance last month resonate. The daughter of Lope De Vega surely has more to offer, and although this race has strength in depth she looks the answer.
Race 8 No3 MILLTOWN STAR (Each Way)
Trainer: Jamie Osborne – Jockey: Shane Kelly
MILLTOWN STAR did is a good turn when delivering as a 16-1 roughie at Southwell earlier in the month. That followed a more than three-month break, and the six-year-old is rekindling the ability shown in his early career for a stable that’s amongst the winners.
