Winter Derby Trial at Lingfield

Lingfield stages its best meeting of 2013 so far, with the listed Winter Derby Trial at 16.05 CET. In theory Planteur (Marco Botti/ Adam Kirby) is a certainty here, as the Group One performer has about 20 lbs in hand according to official ratings. He has not run since running unplaced behind Frankel at York in August and is being aimed at Dubai´s big meeting at the end of March. He can be followed home by stable companion Marcret (Jamie Spencer) and Arsaadi (William Haggas/ Adam Beschizza).
The listed race over 6 furlongs at 15.30 looks more open. Piscean, York Glory and Capone finished 1-2-3 at Wolverhampton last time over 5 furlongs, but we prefer irish raider Farmleigh House (Willie Martin/ Niall McCullough), who made a successful raid over this CD a month ago after winning twice at Dundalk.

1. Race: Aryal - Brigh - Tebee`s Oasis
2. Race: Black Cadillac - Temple Road - Jack My Boy
