Lingfield headlines the Friday all-weather action as the track plays host to a seven-race card. Our all-weather expert has identified some returning track specialists who know the course like the back of their hands. Check these out below, alongside an exclusive William Hill Bet £10 – Get £30 sign-up offer.
SMITH – (12:35pm Lingfield) 6/4
The Lydia Richards trained SMITH arrives here on a hat-trick, having scored over course and distance the last twice.
Those victories brought his strike rate here to a more than respectable 33%, with his remaining course runs including a 33/1 third when beaten just a length.
In fact, his form figures over this very course and distance now read 3511, with his latest victory coming by an 8l margin. He is now up to a career-high mark but can supplement his Lingfield tally back over his optimum distance.

AGENT OF FORTUNE – (1:05pm Lingfield) 14/1
7yo mare AGENT OF FORTUNE bombed out on stable debut at Wolverhampton last week but she looks a big player back at her favourite venue today.
Three of Agent Of Fortune’s top five RPR’s have now been recorded here at Lingfield, and she has gained three course and distance wins.
She was a beaten favourite over track and trip on penultimate run yet was only beaten a length that day and now drops into 0-55 company.
Agent Of Fortune’s last five wins have all come off higher marks than the one that she currently finds herself on, and the booking of Marco Ghiani, who is +25.78 when riding older horses here at Lingfield in recent seasons, suggests the double-figure price could look a gift post-race.

CAFE SYDNEY – (3:20pm Lingfield) 10/1
Tony Carroll’s CAFE SYDNEY has an impressive 3-4 record here at Lingfield, her most recent success at the track coming off 7lb higher than her current rating.
She was admittedly a tad disappointing here in November when sent off the 4/1 joint-favourite but having endured notable trouble in running that day it is probably wise to put a line through the run.
Luke Morris is now back aboard this 6yo for the first time since the pair teamed up to score over course and distance last January, and she has a handy draw to her advantage in stall 5.

DEVIZES – (3:50pm Lingfield) 2/1
Track specialist DEVIZES brought his form figures here at Lingfield to 502111854 when beaten less than a length here last month.
He surely would have got up there if getting going a little sooner, and it seems notable that he is back over course and distance off the same mark, with Rhys Clutterbuck now claiming an invaluable 3lb.
That weight advantage aside, Devizes has gained three of his four career wins over this course and distance, the most recent coming from 3lb above the mark off of which he currently races.
