3:55 Lingfield Tips

Won a Class 3 over course and distance last time out, raised 2 pounds as a consequence but drops in grade to Class 4 with further improvement possible on second race following wind surgery.

Justified market support to win over C&D with Luke Morris in the saddle, who's riding well and retains the ride. Has won here on his last two visits, beating The Thamesboatman in the process, who he reopposes.

Atomic Force has won 4 and placed in 2 of 21 runs at this trip and has won 1 of 2 runs in this class. Below form in defeat last time out and in patchy form but a former group winner on a reduced mark.

C&D winner off 71 and 75 this time last year. Handicapper may have been strong on this gelding, but with competent claimer Paetel taking 5 lbs off, a revised rating of 76 looks more favourable. Went close LTO, going down a head to Star Chorus.
