3:20 Lingfield Tips

I'm not normally one to back Hollie Doyle, and there's a few in this with big chances. I believe Educator is right up there with them. Raised just 1 lb for a ¾l 2nd behind Knight Templar (2 lb better off today), Educator could go one better and win this race. Vice President looks a big danger, now 4 lb better off with the favourite.

Barenboim is a gelding whose better recent form has come over this sort of trip on the all-weather, including a Lingfield effort where he moved smoothly through the race and stayed on well without everything going his way. He has shown he can run to a competitive level under similar conditions and tends to do his best work late when allowed to build into the contest. With conditions again in his favour, there are sound reasons to expect him to be in the mix late on.

Getting on now for a flat horse and met a lot of today's rivals Lto, when keeping on well to come 4/8 beaten 3.25 lengths in a class 5 handicap over 2 miles @ Kempton. Is a C/D winner, has good form @ this class 4 level, good apprentice up claiming 5lb and in hands of a very good dual trainer, making current 9/1 solid Ew value here.

Gelded son of Galileo & Words ( Dam's sire Dansili ) who was last seen at Chelmsford 16 days ago where finishing 6th/9 however now stepping back up trip having found a suitable class 4 handicap to engage in here with his ideal gallop very well likely to be at his disposal given the horses enrolled to run here which will play extremely well into his strengths here at the Lingfield polytrack currently operating on a mark of 78 R Hughes's inmate looks poised for a big run here and can play a huge role in this Midnite Ain't Your Grandad's Bookie Class 4 handicap over on the business end worth noting he ran his best race for this yard on a 2lb higher mark over a similar trip on Kempton's polytrack on the 7th of January 2026 and is of serious interest stepping back up to a similar trip here jockey Finley Marsh takes the ride and can give Vice President a promising ride here at Lingfield . Respected .
