14.40 Lingfield: Derwentwater @ 3/1 Paddy Power - 5pts win
Looks a poor race and I think Derwentwater is a better horse than what he has shown in six starts and what his mark is suggesting at the moment. His most recent performance was a big improvement and I felt he had loads against him in the race so the way he actually finished was definitely eye-catching. He was bumped at the start, he pulled very hard after that and was unsettled in the early parts of the race, he was then surly in the worst position of all in this small field when the pace kicked on from 3f out while the field was crawling before. He needed a bit of time to get on terms and was then brought on the inside rail where his jockey switched him a bit to the right again after failing to find a gap right on the inside there. That cost a bit of momentum but Derwentwater found the balance soon enough to start a big challenge and looked to make a winning move until the tank was probably empty and he got beaten by half a lengths eventually deep inside the final furlong. As it looks on the cards that we get a better pace in this race tomorrow I think Derwentwater could be very hard to beat with further improvement expected of the same handicap mark.
15.45 Lingfield: Charming @ 10/3 Bet365 - 4pts win
Charming had a wide draw to overcome last time out here at Lingfield. As a result he was racing very wide indeed, 4-5 wide on the outside until turning form home very wide as well obviously which made life not easier. He really finished super strongly then but had no chance with the eventual winner who had rather the run of the race. Charming is 6lb with the winner of that race, Novabridge, tomorrow and has every chance to turn the table I feel as he has a much better draw and could now be very hard to beat in a race like this of a career lowest mark.
