NAP of the day - Tuesday 12th August 2014

NAP - 18.35 Lingfield: Arctic Lynx @ 11/2 VC - 3pts win

On his All-Weather form Arctic Lynx appears to be quite well handicapped today. He ran out a strong 2nd place on his last AW start back in May in better class off a 5lb higher mark, he's also two pounds below his last winning mark at the moment. He didn't quite fire on turf in his last four starts, but a return to Lingfield's polytrack should surely help to see him in better light. 

This is quite a competitive race toda but with Lingfield specialist Geore Baker in the saddle, he rates a big chance today. Baker poses an impressive 20% strike rate here (43.33% combined win/place!) in 2014, while trainer has been also extremely successful at this venue in the same time period. So all set for a big run, if Artic Lynx can bounce back from his poor turf showings, which I duly expected at a course and trip that suits him to bits. Two successes in addition to two runner-up efforts over CD - that makes him an outstanding bet at 11/2 in my book.
