CONFIGURATION: Lingfield’s left-handed all-weather track is laid out inside the turf track and, measuring just less than a mile and a quarter round, is essentially sharp in nature. This, along with how the races often pan out ensures that stamina is rarely at a premium and strong-travelling types with a turn of foot are often favoured. Predominantly flat, there is a slight downhill turn in to the straight. At shorter trips, prominent racers tend to outperform those ridden more patiently, though there seems little advantage over further. Lingfield's surface is Polytrack.
JASON WEAVER: Lingfield’s 1m 2f all-weather start is a tough one, very draw-dependent. The same is true of the 5f and 6f starts. I always think it’s a track that lends itself to riding in the ‘third wave’. In races over 1m, for example, the first wave will go with maybe 5f left, round the initial turn, while the second wave will kick into the home straight. The third wave - the George Baker wave - usually attacks at the 1f pole and often comes out best. You don’t want to be way out of your ground, but patience can pay.
WINNING FAVOURITES: Show 634-1788 for close to 36%, so 3% above national average, though a level stake loss of -£213.96 to a £1 stake
Winning favourites in non-handicaps score at 50%
Winning favourites in handicaps score at 30%
Best category are 3yo winning favourites in non-handicaps 113-214 for 53% (+9.46)
Worst category are 4yo+ winning favourites in handicaps 253-850 for 30% (-144.10)
Differential between best and worst category is a huge 23%
Top trainer at the course is Andrew Balding (15%) who scores at +7% above his national average and shows a level stake profit of +£39.30 to a £1 level stake
Top jockey at the course is David Probert (13%) who scores +2% above his national average and shows a level stakes profit of +£113.51 to a £1 level stake
Godolphin (26%) are the leading owners at the course scoring at 33% so +7% above their national average and a level stake profit of +£10.78 to a £1 level stake
TRAINERS: Tony Carroll (10%) has 4 runners tomorrow including CHARLIE MASON 2.02, THREE ON THURSDAY 2.32, UPEPO 3.38 & RECON MISSION 5.20
Richard Hughes (14%) has 1 runner for the meeting in CRACKAMOUR 4.13 and the 7/1 has attracted our interest from a placing perspective at least. Luke Morris rides for the trainer at 2-7 for 29% (+4.30) all time figures, an interesting jockey booking if the market agrees!
