2:30 Lingfield Tips

Just eight career runs from the 4yo filly and she’s 4 wins from 4 on the AW. She won a useful looking 14 runner £41K handicap when last seen, over this 8f trip on the polytrack, the next three home have all run big races since. She’ll be fresh after a ten week break. Going off the ratings she should be a big player in this Listed contest.

Sky Safari is the hot fav here but is stepping out of handicap company for the first time (was initially rated 73) and will find things much tougher here against a proven multiple Listed winner in Shuwari. Even on official figures Sky Safari has a pound to find on Shuwari and in some ways it's surprising that they aren't the other way around in the betting. The first time booking of Rossa Ryan is another positive for me, and it's all about value at the end of the day where it's clear which of the two I'd rather be with.

Niminy Piminy looks to have it to do at the weights in this Listed contest but this filly has improved a lot this autumn culminating in a career best effort on her latest outing in October. That she has won on the sharp Lingfield track is a bonus. She is from a good family and related to Group 1 Longchamp winner (at today's distance) Elusive Wave. With her stable in form, there may be more to come from Niminy Piminy.
