All-weather action today

a typically dreary Monday, with two low-level jumps meetings and all-weather racing from Lingfield, where 7 of the 8 races are class 5 or 6. The exception is the class 4 mile handicap at 16.05, which looks wide open. Top-weights Gallantry (Paul Howling/ Jimmy Quinn) and Alpes Maritimes (Gary Moore/ George Baker) have obvious chances, while two N.H. trainers Charlie Mann and Noel Chance saddle Shavansky (Steve Carson) and Mister New York (Jim Crowley) respectively, who both ran well here last week. Lighly-raced Robby Bobby (Mark Johnston/ Jamie Spencer) has a very low weight and could possibly be a blot on the handicap. However he fares, Johnston and Spencer should not go home empty-handed, as their Lord Chancellor has obvious prospects in the first division of the 2yo maiden at 13.30 after his good debut at Leicester and in the second division the well-bred Haashed is another possible, although on public form Featherweight (Barry and Michael Hills) could be hard to beat.
