Race Details: 1m | Class 6 | Going: Standard; turf (Polytrack) | | flat

This looks exactly the sort of Lingfield mile handicap that can make fools of short-priced backers. There are plenty with bits of form that give them a squeak, but not many arriving with rock-solid profiles. Pitney has been knocking on the door and is an obvious player from a handy draw, while Virtue Patience has been running well enough to win one of these before long. Buy The Dip is respected despite a poor latest effort, and Play Me is another who has shaped as though his turn is near. At bigger prices, Searchingtheblues has the topspeed figure to get involved if things drop right. It is not a deep Class 6 by any means, but it is a tricky little puzzle where draw, pace and track position could easily prove decisive.

Top Selections

1. Pitney – 7/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Kieren Fox | Trainer: Michael Attwater | Form: 454352 | Rating: 76 | Topspeed: 58

Pitney is hardly hiding from the handicapper, but he is the one bringing the most solid recent profile into this. That second last time reads well enough in the context of a race where several of these are coming here with questions to answer, and stall 4 should allow Kieren Fox to get him into a good rhythm early. He does not look dramatically ahead of his mark, but in a race lacking depth I would rather side with the reliable option than a frustrating one. At 7/2 he is not a gift, yet he still makes plenty of appeal as the runner most likely to run his race. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Searchingtheblues – 12/1 with Sky Bet

Jockey: Rose Dawes | Trainer: Mark Usher | Form: 5-5037 | Rating: 76 | Topspeed: 69

Searchingtheblues is not the easiest horse to catch right, but there is enough in his profile to make 12/1 look a bit too big. He owns the best topspeed figure in the field, and in a race full of exposed handicappers that kind of number can be worth plenty if he gets a smooth trip around here. His recent form is mixed, granted, but he has shown enough this year to suggest he can still be competitive from this mark. Rose Dawes knows him well enough, and if he can sit just off the speed rather than get shuffled back, he has the look of a lively each-way punt in a race that should pay four places. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Pitney is the percentage play and makes most appeal as the win bet given his consistency and useful draw. For an each-way angle, Searchingtheblues looks the value at double-figure odds with four places on offer. Virtue Patience is the obvious danger, while Buy The Dip is capable of bouncing back if forgiven a below-par latest run.

14:42 – Download The At The Races App Handicap

Race Details: 6f | Class 6 | Going: Standard; turf (Polytrack) | | flat

This is a fairly ordinary Class 6 sprint, but that does not make it straightforward. Plenty arrive with patchy profiles and it would not take much improvement from one of the less exposed 4yo runners to win it. Southbank has been knocking on the door and looks sure to be popular from a handy draw, while Tomarlo has the highest mark in the field and hinted at a revival last time. Chasing Gold is another with a workable berth and bits of recent form, though the latest run leaves a slight question. At bigger prices, Walking On Clouds is not out of it in a weak race if building on his latest third. It is a trappy little sprint rather than a race full of solid certainties.

Top Selections

1. Southbank – 9/2 with Sky Bet

Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: Chris Gordon | Form: 423426 | Rating: 64 | Topspeed: 61

Southbank is hardly hiding from the assessor, but he is running well often enough to make him the percentage call in a race where several rivals come with caveats. His recent string of placed efforts reads well at this level, and that Topspeed figure of 61 is the best on offer here. Stall 3 should suit a horse who can travel into the race without wasting energy, and having Rossa Ryan booked is an obvious plus around Lingfield. He does not look wildly ahead of his mark, but in this company consistency counts for plenty. Available at 9/2, he makes most appeal as the likeliest winner.

Bet: WIN

2. Walking On Clouds – 5/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Callum Hutchinson | Trainer: Chelsea Banham | Form: -77953 | Rating: 63 | Topspeed: 58

Walking On Clouds is a 7yo, so there are no grand improvement angles, but he shaped with a bit more purpose when third last time and that gives him each-way interest in a race of this depth. He is 1lb lower than Southbank, gets in here off a feasible mark and does not need to find loads to make the frame again. The draw in 8 is not ideal, though over 6f at Lingfield that is not a death sentence if he can slot in early. At 5/1 he is not a giveaway, but he does look one of the more solid place bets among the double-figure runners and inconsistent types.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Southbank is the win play on the strength of his reliable recent profile, good draw and the best Topspeed figure in the field. For an each-way punt, Walking On Clouds makes more appeal than most after a better latest effort and should be competitive off this mark. Tomarlo is the obvious danger if building on his recent fourth, while Chasing Gold is another to keep onside from stall 2.

15:17 – Follow @AtTheRaces On X Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Race Details: 1m 4f | Class 4 | Going: Standard; turf (Polytrack) | | flat

This is a compact five-runner handicap but it is not lacking in intrigue, with three unexposed 3yos taking on a couple who already have a fair bit of substance to their form. Charles Darnay arrives on the back of a breakthrough win and is the obvious one to beat, while Astrological has done little wrong in two starts and could easily have more to come now sent into handicap company. Parisian Scholar is interesting on old form off a mark of 88, though his latest run was poor enough to leave a question. Starship Trooper has ability but still has to prove he really wants this sort of test. Small field, tactical race, and that often makes it trickier than it first appears.

Top Selections

1. Charles Darnay – 15/8 with Bet365

Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: James Owen | Form: 531 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 68

Charles Darnay looks the percentage call. He has progressed with racing, his figures are heading the right way, and that last-time-out win suggested this step up to 1m4f could draw out more improvement rather than expose him. An opening mark of 82 does not look harsh in a race where a few of these still have something to prove at the trip, and having Rossa Ryan booked around Lingfield is hardly a negative in a tactical little contest like this. At 15/8 he is not a giveaway, but he is the one with the clearest recent upward curve and the strongest claims if this becomes a proper test. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

Betting Strategy

With only five runners, this is a win-only race from a betting point of view and Charles Darnay is the solid option. He brings the best recent momentum and still looks capable of better over this trip. Astrological is the obvious danger if improving again, while Parisian Scholar is the awkward one to assess if bouncing back to earlier form.

15:52 – British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Race Details: 6f | Class 2 | Going: Standard; turf (Polytrack) | | flat

This looks a novice that may not take much solving at the top of the market, with Mrair bringing by far the clearest piece of form after a smart debut second and an opening mark of 88. In a race where several are interesting on paper rather than substance, that experience edge could be decisive, especially over a sharp 6f round Lingfield. Rogue Imperial and Blue Skies Above have both run already, but neither achieved anything close to the favourite’s level, while the main opposition among the newcomers may come from yards that know how to ready one first time, notably Ralph Beckett with Rapid Deployment and Andrew Balding with Storm Blade. It’s not a deep novice on exposed evidence, but it is a dangerous enough race for finding the forecast.

Top Selections

1. Mrair – 1/4 with Bet365

Jockey: Ryan Moore | Trainer: George Scott | Form: 2 | Rating: 88 | Topspeed: 81

You do not need to get too clever here. Mrair sets the standard comfortably on what we know, and juvenile novices in early June are often won by the one who has already shown he can do it on the track. That debut second reads very well in the context of this field, and an 88 rating leaves the others with plenty to find unless one of the debutants is well above average. Ryan Moore is an eyecatching booking and the draw in stall 2 looks perfectly workable. At 1/4 he is no betting revelation, but he is hard to oppose and should simply prove too professional and too good. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Storm Blade – 20/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Callum Hutchinson | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:

If you want to play around the favourite, Storm Blade makes most appeal as the each-way alternative. The market has been a bit more respectful elsewhere than the standout 20/1 on offer with Bet365, and that discrepancy catches the eye in a race where most of the opposition are either ordinary on paper or unproven. Andrew Balding’s youngsters are always worth a second look in these better novice events, and this colt does not need to be exceptional to nick second behind the obvious one. With only nine runners and limited solid form among the rest, he looks the type to outrun a big price and make the frame. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Mrair is the straightforward win bet and the one to keep multiples simple with; he brings the standout form and should take plenty of beating. For an each-way punt, Storm Blade appeals at a much bigger price than some firms are offering and looks the value against the other lightly raced or unraced rivals. Rapid Deployment is the obvious danger among the newcomers.

16:27 – Follow @AtTheRaces On Instagram Restricted Novice Stakes (Bands C/D) (GBB Race)

Race Details: 7f | Class 5 | Going: Standard; turf (Polytrack) | | flat

This looks a fairly ordinary restricted novice rather than a deep one, and the market has latched on to the right trio. Star Banner sets the standard on his debut third and has the strongest Topspeed figure in the field, while Perola brings the most solid body of form after finishing placed on her last two starts. Chasse Patate is another with obvious scope after making the frame first time, and Kennington should know a lot more after shaping with promise on debut. The older horse Ocean Force gets weight away but hasn’t shown enough in three runs to make much appeal. In a race where improvement will decide plenty, I’d rather side with the runners who have already hinted at a proper level, and Star Banner looks the one they all have to beat.

Top Selections

1. Star Banner – 15/8 with William Hill

Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: Charlie Johnston | Form: 3 | Rating: 74 | Topspeed: 44

There was plenty to like about Star Banner’s debut third and, in a race where not many have achieved much at all, that piece of form stands out. A mark of 74 and a Topspeed of 44 already put him right at the head of this field, and Charlie Johnston’s youngsters often come on sharply for the experience. Rossa Ryan is a notable booking around here and should be able to get him into a good rhythm despite the wide draw. At 15/8 he isn’t exactly hiding from the market, but he still looks the most likely improver and the one with the cleanest profile. Bet: WIN

2. Kennington – 9/2 with Bet365

Jockey: David Probert | Trainer: Hughie Morrison | Form: 3 | Rating: 71 | Topspeed:

Kennington could be the each-way play if you want to take on the obvious pair at a slightly bigger price. He shaped well enough when third on debut and, for a Hughie Morrison runner, that first outing may well have been more about education than emptying the locker. A rating of 71 leaves him with a bit to find on bare numbers against the principals, but he’s drawn well in stall 3 and has David Probert up, which never hurts at Lingfield. Available at 9/2, he appeals as the type to step forward for that initial experience and get involved late if the race develops into a proper test. Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Star Banner is the win angle and looks the one with the strongest form ceiling in what is only a modest novice. For an each-way punt, Kennington makes more appeal than the similarly priced rivals because he should improve plenty from debut. Perola is the obvious danger on consistency, while Chasse Patate is another unexposed one to respect.

17:00 – Sky Sports Racing Virgin 512 Handicap

Race Details: 7f | Class 5 | Going: Standard; turf (Polytrack) | | flat

This looks a competitive little 7f handicap rather than a deep one, with several arriving in fair nick but not many screaming certainty. Rogue Dynasty and Tattie Bogle head the market for obvious reasons, both bringing solid recent form and handy low draws, while H Key Lails keeps knocking on the door and is unlikely to be far away again. Dandy G Boy is interesting on his return after shaping well at a similar level last year, and Ironist has enough consistency to make the principals work. It may come down to track position and who gets the smoothest passage around here, because there isn’t much between the leading quartet on the figures. Tricky enough for punters, but not impossible.

Top Selections

1. Rogue Dynasty – 3/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Luke Morris | Trainer: James Owen | Form: 2292-4 | Rating: 81 | Topspeed: 73

Rogue Dynasty makes plenty of appeal from stall 1 and looks the one most likely to get this run to suit. He was a consistent sort last year, finishing runner-up twice before signing off with another solid effort, and his recent fourth suggested he has come back in good enough order. An opening from the inside draw at Lingfield over 7f can be a real asset if Luke Morris gets him into a rhythm early, and his Topspeed figure of 73 is one of the better efforts on offer in this field. At 3/1 he is hardly hidden, but he still looks the percentage call in a race where a few have questions to answer. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. H Key Lails – 11/2 with Bet365

Jockey: James Glennon | Trainer: Michael Attwater | Form: 45-233 | Rating: 81 | Topspeed: 69

H Key Lails is not the easiest horse to catch right, but he has been running well enough to think an each-way play makes sense. Those last three efforts, all in the frame, tell the story of a reliable handicapper holding his form, and he is operating off a mark of 81 that does not look beyond him. The slight concern is stall 8, because you do not want to be trapped deep around here, but if James Glennon can get him settled and delivered late, he has the profile of one who should be finishing off. At 11/2 he looks the value alternative to the obvious pair at the head of the market. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Rogue Dynasty is the win bet, with the inside draw and solid recent form making him hard to oppose in a race lacking a standout. H Key Lails is the each-way punt at 11/2, as he keeps running his race and should be thereabouts again if getting the breaks. Tattie Bogle and Dandy G Boy are the obvious dangers if fully tuned up.
