Hi all,
We have Listed action at Lingfield today with Ladbrokes EBF River Eden Fillies’ Stakes (2.13) and the Fleur De Lys Fillies’ Stakes (3.23) on a seven-race card. There’s also evening all-weather action at Chelmsford with afternoon jumps cards at Ffos Las, Stratford, and Stratford.
I have selections in both Lingfield races.
However, firstly, I have one for Saturday’s Bateaux London Gold Cup Handicap Chase (3:20) at Ascot.
Ante Post Advice:
Ascot
3:20 – Gary Moore saddled the winner in 2016 & 2018 of this handicap chase and he could run Full Back who ran better than his 21-length 7th of 13 at Chepstow on his seasonal return suggests. He’ll strip fitter for that run and the 16/1 available with Bet365, just 10/1 with Ladbrokes & Paddy Power, makes plenty of each way appeal.
The 16/1 on Full Back has gone but 14/1 is still available with Bet365 (paying 4 places) and that remains value to me. More on that race in Saturday’s preview.
1pt each way – Full Back – 14/1 @ Bet365
Back to today’s action.
Lingfield
2:13 – Sayyida finished 2 ½ lengths in front of Sea La Rosa when the pair finished second and third in a Group 3 at Newmarket last month. Today’s extra furlong will suit both but I fancy that the latter can reverse placings here. Her trainer William Haggas saddled the winner of this Listed contest 2017 & 2018 so knows the type of filly required to win it.
1pt win – Sea La Rosa – 9/2 – Gen
3:23 – Mrs Fitzherbert has left her previous form well behind on her last two starts since going handicapping, winning over C&D and then at Wolverhampton 35-days ago. The daughter of Kingman has a bit to find on Official Ratings with likely favourite Maamorabut she’s going the right way and looks capable of better for a yard among the winners.
1pt win – Mrs Fitzherbert – 11/2 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power
Cheers’
John
