all-weather action at Lingfield and Wolverhampton

Easily the best race on the all-weather today is the listed event over 10 furlongs at 15.05 CET at Lingfield. Several familiar faces here, including Grand Passion, who ran so many good races over this CD for the now-retired Geoff Wragg and is now trained by Chris Wall; his recent form is not encouraging, but perhaps a change of scenery has revitalised him. On current form Dansant (Ger Butler/ Eddie Ahern) and Re Barolo (Marcoi Botti/ John Egan) can be preferred, while front-runner Suits Me (Tom Tate / Micky Fenton) is moving up in grade but still not out of it after winning his last 4 races. Best bet at Lingfield should be the Queen´s Banknote (Andrew Balding/ Frannie Norton), winner of the Badener Meile in 2007, who should be able to get the better of Orchard Supreme (Richard Hannon/ Richard Hughes) at these weights in the mile race at 14.35. At Wolverhampton the trickiest race is the class 4 handicap over 1 3/4 miles at 20.50. 4 of ghe 8 runnes are last-time-out winners an d the others all plkaced, while 5 of them are trained in Ireland.Possibly top-weight Lochiel (Alan Swinbank/ Paul Mulrennan) could be the answer and the final 8 1/2 furlongs handicap at 22.20 can also go to the top-weight, in this case Spinning (David Barron/ George Baker).
