12:30 Lingfield Tips

Meet Me In Maraki was still in the race when just 2 furlongs out in a 1 mile 4 furlongs last time out. This 1 mile 2 furlongs should suit better.

Could be suited by the drop back to a mile and a quarter following six runs over a mile and a half. Won over course and distance off this mark of 72 in February this year and of interest back down to that winning mark.

Orbaan (GB) is a 10-year-old veteran from the David O’Meara yard, and he lines up here off a very tempting mark of 72 with Jason Watson taking the ride. He’s been running better than the form book suggests lately, often travelling well before not getting the gaps when he needed them. Hes 3lbs better off in the weights from his last win and it looks like hes still enjoying the running so he holds decent value at these odds

This trainer/jockey combo are no strangers to landing the odds with a big-priced winner on the AW, and this lightly raced one appears to have been completely overlooked in the market. He's well-bred and gets in here off bottom weight with a first-time tongue tie. If the tongue tie does the trick, then we know the horse has ability since he's already won a race in his short career when he showed a good attitude to get the better of a horse that's since won 3 times. That was even on the same surface, and that horse is rated 73 now, so this mark of 67 would strongly suggest he's way overpriced here, with the tongue tie potentially proving to be a crucial factor.
