1st Ballycrystal 8/11 - 75 2nd Thankyou Very Much 5/1 3rd Lough Kent 11/2- 30 Ballycrystal is by far the best horse in the race. Shouldnt mind the all weather surface and is the horse to beat. Thankyou Very much is, 2, 2, 2, over C&D but will need to find something to beat Ballycrystal. Lough Kent's sire has had 9 runners on Tapeta and 0 winners, not enough to go on, but a warning.  Ballycrystal is the one to beat, and might be a fc here with Thankyou Very Much £1 stake pays £4.61 My Selection: Ballycrystal 8/11

1st Sea Fox 5/1 - 95 2nd Humbert 10/3 - 80 2nd Poets Society 12/1 - 80 3rd Chevallier 8/1 - 70 Very competitve. Humbert is unbeaten on the AW, but this is much better than his last race wihich he won, and its harder and he carries 4lb more as well. He needs to improve, but there is nothing to suggest he wont. However i am happy to look elsewhere. Sea Fox is racing in a slightly easier race than last time. he wasn't beaten far though and his time was the best so far, and puts him in with a great chance here. Only concern is he is not the best starter and that could hamper him. Poets Society is weighted to turn the tables on Chevallier who beat him by 5L last time out, he could go well but is the outsider. I was surprised to see him as the outsider. Chevellier won very nicely before blowing the start last time out and not being able to get on terms. He could go well again and is the highest rated in the race My Selection: Sea Fox 5/1 

1st Attain 15/2 - 85 2nd Iballisticvin 3/1 - 70 3rd Jamhoori 66/1 - 65 The 3 named above are the only ones in the race to have won on the Polytrack surface, so it obviously has helped with their score. Attain is a 7 times winner on Polytrack, 6 of those has come here at Lingfield and his stats over C&D are 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 3, 1, 5. Trainer is in good form and 15/2 is a good ew price. Iballisticvin has some solid course form with stats of 12, 3, 3, 3, 1. He came 3rd over C&D when 5lb lower than today. His actual form on the AW is 12, 3. The 12 can be ignored as it was his debut. The 3rd is much better form. Ryan Moore rides for his dad which is a good sign, and the horse will probably go well. Just think he will need to imporve to beat Attain. Based on old form Jamhoori could well win this, but it is old form. He came back after a year and a half off and came in tailed off on heavy ground over hurdles. He came 4th in a race over C&D 2 years ago in a much better ra

1st Minella On Line 12/1 - 55 2nd Rockys Treasure 9/2 - 50 3rd Sam Red 9/1 - 40 4th Jeannot De Nonant 15/2 - 35 Competitve yet weak hurdles race is this. Minella On Line has placed in 5 of his 10 runs at 3 miles, and winning once. He has placed 6 times from 10 on soft, winning 2 of them.. All 3 of his wins have come on a left handed track as well. The ablity to win a race of this nature is there. Rockys Treasure would probably prefer better ground than today, but everything else looks to suit. it's just the ground. Sam Red will love the going and the track suits. Might be a bit high in thr handica though, as hasnt managed a win over hurdles since his maiden win, probably needs to drop a pound or 2. Still could be comptitive . Not very confident about the selection, but the race as whole is has several horses who have the ability to be compitive in this grade but havent managed it. My Selection: Minella On Line 12/1
