Jake Chapman

Sierra Leone, US Horse of the Year in 2024, winning the Breeders Cup in the process. Needed the run on comeback run at Fair Grounds, running on well. Chad Brown sends this one over from the East Coast, which looks a tip in itself.

Aviano was given a peach of a ride by this jockey to win at Windsor 33 days ago. Up just 2 lbs for that victory, he may well have more improvement to come.

Claim That Smile won nicely stepped up to 7f the last day. It was a shockingly bad contest. However, the selection is effectively down 1lb for that win with the jockey's claim. Penelope Valentine is down in class and feared most.

Hot Dancer won nicely 8 days ago, showing a determined attitude. Conditions look ideal for the hat-trick bid. Decent jockey booking.

Group 1 penalty winner Kind of Blue blew all chance in France on his seasonal return, completely missing the start over 5f. He can get his career back on track over his favored 6f in this Group 3 event for his powerful connections. 1 from 1 on an artificial surface.

Mr. Ubiquitous barely broke a sweat on Tuesday. The gelding has won under hands and heels riding the last two times. He didn't get the clearest of runs the last run but still won easily. The young claimer is 2-2 on the selection and can land the hat-trick now.

Shielas Well showed a good attitude when winning a Class 5 event 8 days ago. Down to a Class 6 tonight, she should really be winning this on form. Trainer Grant Tuer would not send many to Leicester. In fact, his only other runner here was over 22 years ago.

Miss Honey made an eye-catching winning debut over this distance at Kempton 13 days ago. Sluggishly away, green, it wasn't until near the line she was hitting top gear. Under a hands and heels ride from W. Buick, she won going away. That is the stand-out form on offer. She will come on a bundle for that initial experience. Her pedigree suggests the switch to turf shouldn't be a problem. If anything, it should suit the selection. The Godolphin filly is turned out quickly under a penalty by J. Gosden, who wouldn't really be one to rush one. He must feel she is ready to push on. The trainer won this in 2022. Godolphin also won this in 2019 and 2021. Favourites have a strong record in this particular contest, winning 4 of the last 5 runnings. There are a few fairly interesting debutants in here who will need a market check, but it will take an above-average one, however, to beat this filly.

Rusheen Boy smashed the rivals to bits in a similar contest 9 days ago, despite a 12lb hammering from the accesor, the gelding can back that victory up here with the jockey taking off a handy 7lb. The selection effectively runs off a mark of 53 tonight taking into account the jockeys claim. He looks one to keep on the right side off currently. Having previously won off a mark of 65, he can continue to take advantage the reduced turf rating. The only slight negative is the inexperienced jockeys record (just 1 career win, for this yard) but she is the yards apprentice so probably knows the horse having ridden out. Hopefully this spinter shouldn't take much steering for the young jockey over the straight 6f at Lingfield.

Zarigana looks the value bet after her win in the French 1000 guineas, despite interference and the jockey dropping the whip she was declared the winner by the french stewards. Trainer F Grafford has primed her for the race.

Jonquil proven Group 1 perfomer, was just touched off in a French group 1 last time out. Top class jockey over to ride. Value each way bet.

Art of Fox travels 440 miles for the Hannon team who send two runners to this venue tonight, having won comfortably under this rider last Thursday at Chelmsford over the 5f trip he looked to be more suited to the prominent tactics deployed that day. The gelding can quickly follow up that success here tonight. R Hannon who wouldn't send many to Ripon, has a 22% strike rate here.
