Alfred Hutchinson: Goes well at Lingfield, but struggled in
two starts this winter to go really close. First time visor needs to rejuvenate
him.
Big Baz: Won really well at Lingfield recently and followed up with narrow
defeat at Kempton. Clearly in outstanding form and loves the All-Weather.
Bravo Echo: Won a couple of races last year, back after break. Should find this
opposition too tough.
Captain Joy: Won two on the bounce over in Ireland at Dundalk, competitive
performer over the years in higher grades and good Handicaps. Second highest
rated and should go close.
Dastarhon: Once French 2.000 Guineas runner-up, creditable efforts over shorter
last twice and back up in trip a positive. Performs on AW and interesting to be
brought over for this with first time Cheek-pieces.
Linton: Not been able to find back to his brilliant best since being back in
the UK. Formerly Group winner in Australia, on old form huge chance but may be
flattered by current rating these days.
Pool House: Progressive last winter, not seen since June. Has stamina questions
to answer.
The Irish raider Captain Joy has fantastic form to offer and it is telling that
connections brought him over for this. He should go definitely close. He is a
very short price though and may prefer 7f over the mile trip. So on that basis
he might be opposable in this competitive race. Form choice could be Big Baz.
He really excels on the All-Weather and his latest two performances are strong.
He may have still a bit more to offer. Alfred Hutchinson finds it tough these
days and the headgear has to bring back the spark. He was well beaten by Big
Baz when the two met here at Lingfield recently.
The French horse Dastarhon is
a very interesting contender. He was once good enough to finish second in the
2013 French 2.000 Guineas. And while he didn’t quite fulfilled the promise
subsequently, he has still some fine form to his names. He acts on the surface
and his last two performances over shorter when he wasn’t too far away are
noteworthy, particularly in the contest that he is back to his preferred mile.
First time headgear may help him to squeeze out a bit more today. At 7/1 he
looks a compelling alternative in the betting to the market leaders.
2.35 Lingfield: Dastarhon @ 7/1 Ladbrokes – 5pts win
