4:50 Lingfield Tips

Tricky Classified Stakes race with a good chance given to American Rose, who has been runner-up in her last two starts. She has won over this course and distance and returns here in good form.

This mare won on her only previous race here, and while that was on turf, she is just as effective on the AW. I like the rebooking of Joe Leavy, who hasn't ridden the horse for a few runs now, and he's the jockey with the best record on the horse. The horse looks set to strike, too, since she was beaten just half a length last time out by a jockey who is from 124 on the AW in the last year. Clearly the jockey upgrade should see her go even closer here in this poor Classified race. The winner of that race has won their next race easily, too.

Just nine career runs for the 4yo filly. Below par in her last four races for whatever reason, but a six-week break, a strong jockey booking, and running in much calmer waters could see her in a better light. A return to her best form would make her a standout in this company.

not getting any younger but has been consistent in this grade did not get the best of runs last time and is still well in on old form and stepping back up to seven furlongs and stable flying gives this one a good shout
