LINGFIELD PARK
Race 2 No2 URBAN OUTLOOK
Trainer: Andrew Balding – Jockey: David Probert
URBAN OUTLOOK can upstage Chronograph on his debut in this mile and a quarter maiden. Interestingly he is out of the stable’s useful winner Casual Glance, and having shown promise in his preparation could be too classy for these foes.
Race 4 No1 UNFORGOTTEN (Nap)
Trainer: John Gosden – Jockey: Rab Havlin
UNFORGOTTEN looked like a horse with a bright future when romping home in first time blinkers at Newcastle, only to be forced onto the sidelines through injury. The grey has been ready to reappear for a while, and though it’s fully 22 months since that novice success he can make this first handicap assignment a winning one.
Race 5 No10 SISTERANDBROTHER
Trainer: Milton Harris – Jockey: David Probert
The consistent SISTERANDBROTHER may have needed the run when just out of the money here last month. It was his first outing since mid-July, and only a second on an all-weather surface. While yet to show he’s as good on sand as on turf, he looks well weighted with a top pilot in the irons, and I shall pay to find out.
NEWCASTLE
Race 1 No7 GOLDEN VINTAGE (Nap)
Trainer: Jedd O’Keeffe – Jockey: PJ McDonald
GOLDEN VINTAGE made a big leap forward to open her account here a couple of weeks ago and needs taking seriously reappearing under a 5lb penalty. The Golden Horn filly scored by a wide margin and seems to have turned a corner.
Race 3 No1 MINT EDITION
Trainer: Ed Bethell – Jockey: PJ McDonald
MINT EDITION has improved for a switch to sand and appears to be right at home on this track. A pleasing placed effort last autumn was followed by a resounding success a fortnight ago, and from his revised mark the Showcasing gelding is strongly fancied to follow-up.
Race 4 No3 FLASH BARDOT
Trainer: Jack Channon – Jockey: Charles Bishop
FLASH BARDOT stayed on for minor honours on debut at Wolverhampton. The daughter of Sixties Icon is no star, but has learned from that first foray onto the track, and can give her trainer his first winner since taking over the licence at West Ilsley.
