All-weather action today

All-weather racing this afternoon at Lingfield and this evening at Great Leighs, but only modest sport at both tracks. Mark Johnston is always to be feared when he sends runners from North Yorkshire down to Lingfield, and Saint Arch (Joe Fanning) should beat his 4 opponents in the 2yo novice event at 15.20 after making a very positive impression when winning on his debut at Folkestone a month ago. Big betting race at Lingfield is the 7 furlongs handicap at 15.50, which looks wide open with all 14 runners in with a chance. Certinly last week´s CD winner Gallantry (Paul Howling/ Tom McLaughlin) and the consistent Dingaan (Andrew Balding/ David Probert), mist be consiederd, but The Kiddykid (David Evans/ Jamie Spencer), coming back to form, and Hinton Admiral (Richard Fahey/ Paul Hahagan), unbeaten in 2 starts here, make most appeal.

Betting forecast:
1.Race: Rebecca De Winter - Smokey Ryder - Woolston Ferry
2.Race: Maid Of Ailsa - Madame Hoi - North South Divide
3.Race: Saint Arch - Ajjaadd - Watergate
4.Race: Gallantry - Victoria Reel - The Kiddykid
5.Race: Rutba - Forget It - L`Homme De Nuit
6.Race: Majehar - Harting Hill - Felicia



At Great Leighs, only 5 are entered in the 10 furlongs conditions race at 20.50, including Igor Protti (Spencer), who ran badly yesterday at Nottingham and is not certain to run. In any case his Godolphin stablemate Eddie Jock (Ted Durcan) appears to have stronger claims, but Clive Brittain´s Yahrab (Ryan Moore) looks the one to beat after his easy win in a decent handicap over this CD last time. The two divisions of the mile maiden for 2yo´s can go to Kansai Spirit (John Gosden/ Jimmy Fortune) at 18.50 and Godolphin´s well-bred debutant Emirates Champin (Ted Durcan) at 21.20. Just as yesterday, both top apprentices William Buick and David Probert are riding at both meetings; with 3 days left before the season officially ends, they are level at 50-50 in the race for the title of champion apprentice.

Betting forecast:
1.Race: Kansai Spirit - Manahej - Love Pegasus
2.Race: Chasing Amy - Spinight - Romantic Queen
3.Race: Yungaburra - Doubtful Sound - Bazguy
4.Race: Fen Spirit - Kind Heart - My Sweet Georgia
5.Race: Eddie Jock - Igor Protti - Yahrab
6.Race: Invisible Man - Emirates Champion - Kimberley Downs
7.Race: Debonnaire - Izzibizzi - Spring Goddess
