All-weather action at Lingfield and Wolverhampton

Two more all-weather meetings this afternoon, but as usual the cards are not exciting and the better races have only small fields. The two class 4 handicaps at Lingfield have only 5 runners each, and they can go to the last-time-out winnersTartan Gunna (Mark Johnston/ Joe Fanning), a 6 lengths maiden winner last time, in the mile race at 16.55, and Distinctly Game (Kevin Ryan/ Neil Callan) over 6 furlongs at 17.30. Johnston can also take the 10 furlongs maiden for 3yo´s at 15.15 with Badge of Honour (Greg Fairley), narrowly beaten last time. At Wolverhampton in-form trainer Alan McCabe and jockey Robert Winston can land a double with Capricorn Run in the 7 furlomgs handicap at 17.05 - although this is a very open race- and Incomparable, who looks weighted to reverse earlier form with Whiskey Creek (Chris Dwyer/ Barry McHugh) in the 5 furlongs handicap at 17.40. Those looking for a topical tip for Friday the 13th can go for Triskaidephobia (Jennie Tooth/ Tom Queally) in the 5 furlongs handicap at 15.25.
