5:40 Lingfield Tips

Senor Cortez secured third career win and second on all weather with a 5 and 1/2 lengths win at Southwell last time out. A good chance to follow up here today..

Mister Daydream arrives with a 15% strike rate from 20 career outings, three of which have resulted in victories. His most recent success came at Hamilton in May, where he prevailed by a head off a mark of 72. Trainer C. Johnston operates at a 17% strike rate over the past fortnight, reinforcing confidence in the yard's current form. Although his Lingfield spin in May yielded only eighth place, he was not beaten far, and the return to this venue could prompt a bold display. Furthermore, his turf record stands at three wins from 18 attempts, suggesting he is most effective on this surface. By contrast, several rivals arrive with inferior recent profiles, giving this gelding a clear statistical edge.

Crackergee is improving well. The 4-year-old scored a good win last start at Ffos Las, which was his maiden. Recent efforts do show improvement.

Educator is stepping up in trip after running on well last time out over twelve furlongs and teamed up with in form jockey Marco Ghianni can go one better here.

Due to it being an apprentices' handicap, Jim Boyle's Big Bear Hug gets in here without a penalty for her determined win over a three-furlong shorter trip at Kempton five days ago. The way she battled that day, I wouldn't think the extra couple of furlongs would bother her here. With Alfie Redman able to use his full seven-pound claim, she looks capable of following up.

Naasma last won in Sept off a 72 at 1m 3f. The latest run here last month showed signs of getting back in the game but she ran out of steam on her third attempt at 2 miles. I think that today's drop to 1m 5f off a 70 could see her involved again EW.

Percy Jones has is under rated here, the current price of 14/1 is very generous, he has an excellent chance of finishing in the frame, Master Daydream won his race easily last time, that was an extremely poor race though, he will need several more gears if he is to win this. I would also expect the price of Percy Jones to get better than the current price of 14/1.
