16:25 – Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Novice Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)

Race Details: 1m 4f | Class 3 | Going: Standard (Polytrack) | | flat

This is only a four-runner novice, but it revolves around an interesting clash between the 3yo allowance and older exposed form. Prizeland sets the standard on figures after winning on his second start and is very obviously the one they all have to beat from stall 1 for Andrew Balding and David Probert. Keep It Cool has shown enough in two runs to suggest there is a race in him, though he now meets a potentially useful youngster while giving weight away. La Tosca shaped with some promise on debut and could step forward, while Star Artist looks the easiest to oppose on what he has shown so far despite the experience edge. It is not a deep race, but the favourite does look a fair bit more solid than the rest.

Top Selections

1. Prizeland – 8/11 with Bet365

Jockey: David Probert | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: 41- | Rating: 77 | Topspeed: 41

Prizeland is hard to oppose in a race lacking depth. He improved from his debut fourth to win next time and comes here with the best rating in the field, while the weight-for-age terms also swing things firmly in his favour against the older pair. Balding’s 3yos in these novice events are usually worth respecting and David Probert is an excellent booking around Lingfield. The draw in 1 should allow him to get a smooth position in a tactical little contest, and that may prove decisive if this turns into a sprint. At 8/11 he is no giveaway, but he is still the percentage call and the one with the most obvious upside. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

Betting Strategy

Keep it simple in a four-runner race: Prizeland is the win bet and there is no each-way angle worth forcing with only one place on offer. He has the strongest form, the best mark and the right weight concession. Keep It Cool looks the main danger if improving again, while La Tosca is the one who could outrun her price.

17:00 – Free Bets On attheraces.com Handicap

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

This looks a fairly typical three-year-old Lingfield handicap: competitive enough, but not a race packed with bombproof profiles. Mighty Vega heads the market after getting off the mark two starts back, while Okiru brings the most solid recent handicap form and has the plum inside draw for a 7f contest around here. Roccobear also arrives on the back of a good effort and is one of the few who still looks open to a bit of progress. There are several with questions to answer, including Victory Ace on his return and Starlight Sami from a wide stall, so track position and how the race unfolds early could be crucial. In truth, it’s a slightly tricky puzzle rather than a strong heat, and that should make value important.

Top Selections

1. Okiru – 5/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Luke Morris | Trainer: Archie Watson | Form: 32-525 | Rating: 78 | Topspeed: 51

Okiru appeals most because he has been keeping better company than some of these and his recent form is more convincing than the bare finishing positions might suggest. He was runner-up twice before a perfectly respectable fifth last time, and a mark of 78 still gives him strong claims in a race where not many arrive with much momentum. The inside draw is a big plus at Lingfield over this trip, and Luke Morris is the sort you want on one from stall 1 if the plan is to hold a handy position. Available at 5/1, he looks the percentage call in a field full of ifs and buts. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Roccobear – 7/1 with Paddy Power

Jockey: Jonny Peate | Trainer: J R Jenkins | Form: 48-82 | Rating: 75 | Topspeed: 48

Roccobear makes plenty of each-way appeal after shaping nicely when second on his latest start. That effort suggested he is learning his job and beginning to find his level in handicaps, and an opening mark in the mid-70s does not look punitive on what he has shown. Stall 4 is another positive in a race where the low numbers could have a tactical edge, and he doesn’t need a dramatic step forward to get involved again. At 7/1 with Paddy Power, he looks the value alternative to the principals, especially with three places on offer in an 11-runner race. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Okiru is the win play from a handy draw and with the most trustworthy recent profile in the race. Roccobear is the each-way punt at 7/1 after a promising runner-up effort and looks the one most likely to hit the frame if not winning. Mighty Vega is the obvious danger, while Victory Ace is interesting if ready after the break.

17:30 – Download The At The Races App Restricted Maiden Fillies’ Stakes (Bands B, C And D) (GBB Race)

Race Details: 6f | Class 5 | Going: Standard (Polytrack) | | flat

This looks a fairly tight little maiden on paper, but it’s not especially deep and the market has good reason to focus on the two fillies with the clearest form. Lara Antipova sets the standard on figures after finishing second on both starts, and an official mark of 84 gives her a noticeable edge in a race like this. Lahan Kingman has also shown ability, improving from third to second, while Leonie is less exposed than some and could step forward again for a powerful yard. Cosmic is the interesting newcomer from Richard Hannon in stall 1, though debutantes over 6f here often need to know the job. Stolen has a fair bit to find on what she’s shown. In truth, this looks more solid favourite than tricky puzzle.

Top Selections

1. Lara Antipova – 1/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Jack Mitchell | Trainer: Tom Clover | Form: 2-2 | Rating: 84 | Topspeed: 46

Lara Antipova is the obvious one and, in a five-runner race, there’s no need to get too clever. She has already posted the best form in the field with a pair of runner-up efforts, and that mark of 84 leaves her clear of these on the bare numbers. The Topspeed figure of 46 also puts her in front, which matters in a race where there isn’t much hidden substance elsewhere. Jack Mitchell is a positive booking around Lingfield and Tom Clover’s filly looks the one most likely to travel strongly and settle this with a straightforward bit of improvement. Even at even-money, she’s hard to oppose.

Bet: WIN

Betting Strategy

Keep it simple: Lara Antipova is the win bet and the one with the strongest claims by a fair margin. In a race this small, each-way betting makes little appeal. If there is a danger, it’s Lahan Kingman, who has a bit of consistency behind her, while Leonie is the one who could nick a place if improving again.

18:00 – Sky Sports Racing Virgin 512 Handicap

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

This is not a deep Class 6 by any means, but it is one of those low-grade 3yo handicaps where a bit of improvement can make all the difference. Raspoutine heads the market for the Prescott team and is entitled to do better now switched into handicap company, while Sail On Sailor arrives on the back of a solid runner-up effort and sets a fair recent standard. Lordsbridge Bay is another with obvious claims after shaping with promise in three qualifying runs, and the inside draw is a definite plus around here. Behind those, several need to leave modest juvenile efforts well behind. It looks a tricky enough puzzle on paper, but not an impossible one, and I’d rather side with the unexposed types than the fully exposed basement handicappers.

Top Selections

1. Lordsbridge Bay – 13/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Kieran O’Neill | Trainer: S Woods | Form: 553 | Rating: 66 | Topspeed: 49

Lordsbridge Bay makes plenty of appeal now going handicapping after three runs that suggested there is a race in him from this sort of mark. He has been edging forward with experience, the latest third his best piece of form, and stall 1 is a handy place to be over this mile at Lingfield if Kieran O’Neill can hold a position early. An opening mark of 66 looks workable rather than lenient, but in a race where not many arrive with untapped potential, he stands out as the one most likely to take a step forward. At 13/2, he looks the right win play. Bet type: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Dora Vita – 11/1 with Betfair

Jockey: Robert Havlin | Trainer: Richard Phillips | Form: 8-044 | Rating: 64 | Topspeed: 44

Dora Vita is hardly bombproof, but she has at least been showing signs that her turn is coming. Her last two fourth-place finishes were steps in the right direction, and this doesn’t look any tougher than the races she has been contesting. The wide draw in 11 is no gift, yet she is lightly raced enough to think there could still be a bit more to come now settling into handicaps. Robert Havlin is a positive booking in this grade and, with several of these looking short enough on what they have actually achieved, the 11/1 on offer makes her a perfectly sensible each-way punt for four places. Bet type: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Lordsbridge Bay is the win angle for me, with his opening handicap mark and inside draw giving him strong claims in an ordinary race. Dora Vita is the each-way option at a double-figure price, especially with four places on offer. The obvious dangers are Sail On Sailor, who brings the best recent finishing effort, and Raspoutine, who is open to more for the Prescott yard.

18:30 – Follow @attheraces On Instagram Handicap

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

This is a proper Lingfield mile handicap rather than a race full of lurkers, with plenty bringing solid all-weather credentials and not much between the principals on official figures. Helm Rock arrives off a win and remains a standing dish in this sort of contest, while Mr Baloo comes from a good draw and shaped well when second last time. Arctician is another who knows his way around here and should be competitive again, and Big Sip has a younger profile than most if ready after a break. It looks the sort of race where track position and timing matter as much as raw ability, especially with several habitual hold-up types in the line-up. Tricky enough, but not impossible to solve.

Top Selections

1. Mr Baloo – 5/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Joe Leavy | Trainer: Richard Hannon | Form: 6-6482 | Rating: 94 | Topspeed: 77

Mr Baloo makes plenty of appeal from stall 1 in a race where saving ground around Lingfield can be a major asset. He ran well in defeat when second on his latest start, and that effort suggested he is ready to strike off this mark if things fall right. A rating of 94 puts him right at the top of this field on the numbers, and he does not look overburdened given the competitive nature of the race. Richard Hannon’s runner has the profile of one who can travel strongly and get first run on some of these more exposed rivals. At 5/1, he looks the percentage call.

Bet: WIN

2. Arctician – 7/1 with Betfair

Jockey: Paddy Bradley | Trainer: Simon Dow | Form: 2914-3 | Rating: 89 | Topspeed: 77

Arctician is very easy to see running his usual honest race, and in a 12-runner handicap that makes him an appealing each-way play. His return third was a sound effort after a break, and it fits with the general view that he remains highly effective on this surface and around these turning miles. He is not the flashiest horse in the field, but he keeps finding and his topspeed figure is right up there with the best of these. Simon Dow’s veteran tends to hold his form well once rolling, and Paddy Bradley knows exactly how to ride him. Available at 7/1, he looks a solid each-way punt.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Mr Baloo is the win play, with the inside draw and latest second making him the one I want on side most. Arctician is the each-way option in a race paying four places, as he looks reliable to hit the frame again. Helm Rock is the obvious danger after last-time-out success, while Big Sip is interesting if fully tuned up after the break.

19:00 – Free Tips Daily On attheraces.com Handicap

Race Details: 1m 2f | Class 6 | Going: Standard (Polytrack) | | flat

This looks a fairly ordinary Class 6 for three-year-olds, but it is not lacking in solid recent form. Grey Sands sets the standard after getting off the mark and brings the best Topspeed figure in the field, so it is easy enough to see why the market has latched on. Bergamo Gold and Lady Milton are the other obvious ones, both having already shown they know how to win, while Pangbourne arrives in decent heart and could get involved again from stall 1. Gifts Differing is less exposed than some and may yet have a bit more to offer now handicapping settles down. It is not a deep race, but with a short-priced favourite and a couple of unexposed rivals, it is just tricky enough to make price matter.

Top Selections

1. Grey Sands – 11/8 with Bet365

Jockey: David Probert | Trainer: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls | Form: 007-21 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 64

Grey Sands is the percentage call. He had looked a work in progress in three runs before winter, but this spring campaign has been much more convincing, finishing second and then going one better last time. That latest effort gives him the strongest recent form on offer in a race where a few still have something to prove at this trip. A mark of 73 is hardly lenient, but it is workable in this grade, and that Topspeed figure of 64 stands out sharply against these. David Probert is a positive booking around Lingfield and, at 11/8, he is short enough but still hard to oppose. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Gifts Differing – 13/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Daniel Muscutt | Trainer: James Ferguson | Form: 6-55 | Rating: 68 | Topspeed: 49

Gifts Differing makes a fair bit of each-way appeal at the prices. He has not yet matched Grey Sands on bare figures, but there was enough encouragement in those two runs this year to think he is finding his level, and a mark of 68 gives him room to be competitive in a race of this nature. James Ferguson’s runners in these lower-grade all-weather handicaps are always worth a second look, and Daniel Muscutt is the type of rider you want on a lightly raced three-year-old still learning the job. Available at 13/2, he looks the value against rivals who may already be a bit more exposed. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Grey Sands is the straightforward win play and the one with the most solid profile in the race. For a bit more value, Gifts Differing is the each-way punt in a seven-runner field with three places on offer. The main dangers are Lady Milton, who ended last year with back-to-back wins, and Bergamo Gold, whose recent form gives him obvious claims if bouncing back from his latest defeat.

19:30 – attheraces.com/marketmovers Handicap

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

This is a proper end-of-card handicap rather than a gimme, with a few solid recent form lines but also enough exposed older sprinters and milers to muddy the waters. Profit Street is the obvious starting point after a very consistent spell, and he looks the one bringing the strongest current profile into the race. Bella Bisbee has been knocking on the door and is another who should give a good account, while Zubaru and Daisy Roots are not short of ability if ready to roll after breaks. Edergole’s Gift is interesting at the weights and posted the best Topspeed figure in the field, so he is not one to dismiss lightly. All told, it looks competitive rather than deep, and tactical positioning over Lingfield’s 7f could be the deciding factor.

Top Selections

1. Profit Street – 2/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Luke Morris | Trainer: James Owen | Form: 121123 | Rating: 81 | Topspeed: 74

He is hardly hiding from the assessor, but Profit Street is the one arriving here with his game in excellent order and that counts for plenty in these all-weather handicaps. The recent form string of 121123 tells its own story: he keeps turning up, keeps running his race, and there is no sign that this mark has him in a stranglehold just yet. Luke Morris is the right man for a race like this around Lingfield, where getting handy and keeping things straightforward can be half the battle. At 2/1 he is no giveaway, but he is the most solid option in a race containing several question marks. Bet: WIN

2. Edergole’s Gift

Jockey: Connor Planas | Trainer: Conrad Allen | Form: 8-2063 | Rating: 81 | Topspeed: 79

For an each-way angle, Edergole’s Gift makes plenty of appeal. He shaped well enough when third last time and that Topspeed figure of 79 is the standout number in this line-up, suggesting he has the raw ability to be very competitive off this sort of mark. He also gets in with just 121, which is a handy pull in a race where several of the market principals have to shoulder more. Conrad Allen’s runner does not have the fashionable profile of the favourite, but in a 13-runner handicap with four places on offer he looks exactly the type to outrun any dismissive market view. Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Keep it simple: Profit Street is the percentage call and the one to side with for the win after a string of reliable efforts. Edergole’s Gift is the each-way play in a race paying four places, especially with that standout Topspeed figure and low weight. The main dangers look to be Bella Bisbee, who has been threatening to win one, and Zubaru if returning in the right mood.
