listed races at Lingfield

the all-weather action today is at Lingfield in the afternoon and Wolverhampton in the evening. Easily the best racing comes from Lingfield, where the last 4 races (including two listed events) are part of today´s Scoop 6 bet. The most popular winner of the day would undoubtedly be Grand Passion (Steve Drowne) in the 10 furlongs listed race at 16.20 CET, expected to be the last runner of trainer Geoff Wragg´s long career. He is not without a chance, as he is a real CD specialist and has won this race twice before. However Richard Hannon´s pair Mr. Aviator Richard Hughes) and Orchard Supreme (Ryan Moore), both last-time-out winners, as well as Yahrab (Clive rttain/ Jamie Spencer), going for a hat-trick, and especially John Gosden´s Bronze Cannon (Jimmy Fortune) wil make it difficult for him to end his trainer´s career on a winning note. The 6 furlongs listed race at 16.50 has numerous CD and in-form spec ialists in the field, but Ceremonial Jade (Marco Botti/ Jimmy Quinn), Chi ef Editor (Michael Jarvis/ Neil Callan) - unbeaten on the all-weather- and Prohibit (Gosden/ Fortune) seem to be the three likeliest winners. Course specialist Atlantic Story (Mick Easterby/ Ryan Moore) can possibly get coop 6 punters off to a good start in the 7 furlongs handicap at 15.10, while the fillies´ handicap at 15.40 looks the hardest race of all. Jennie Jerome (Luca Cumani/ Dane O´Neill), Secret Night (Clive Cox/ Ian Mongan), Miss Brown to You (Michael Bell/ Neil Callan) and Izzibizzi (Ed Dunlop/ Chris Catlin) are just 4 possibilities. The evening racing from Wolverhampton looks vey modest, but Miss Beat (Brian Meehan/ Jamie Spencer) and Doncosaque (JR Gask/ Tom Queally) can land a short-priced double at 19.20 and 20.50 respectively.
