Midnite Aint Your Grandads Bookie Handicap - Lingfield

Krissy

J: Cam Hardie T: J S Goldie

Race Winner

34/25

Reason for Tip

Krissy has been a horse in great form this season on the all weather with two wins and two seconds in last four starts. Went close lto at Southwell and looks to to still be ahead of the handicapper and capable of winning. Gets her normal trip again today at a course that she tends to enjoy. Is absolutely the form pick of the race and has a plum draw from stall 2 to get the early position she often takes. Cam Hardie aboard and he is no stranger to Lingfield success and generally has a very good strikerate for the Goldie yard here. Plenty of question marks over most of this field and Krissy has shown ability and consistency of late and looks set for another win today. Should win.

34/25

11/10

⭐ NAP of the Day

Luminare – 3.45 Newcastle – 5/2

Trainer: W J Haggas
Jockey: Cieren Fallon

We’re taking on the favourite Jackabi here, who has finished runner-up on his last two outings and looks to be treading water off this mark.

Luminare, however, is still unexposed and showed clear promise earlier in the year when winning at Bath. Returned from a break last time with a solid third at Chelmsford and is expected to come on sharply for that run.

The statistics are extremely strong:

Haggas has a 25% strike rate at Newcastle.
Fallon wins 20% of his rides here.
Together at this track, they share a huge 44% strike rate.

Given the likely improvement, favourable mark, and elite trainer/jockey combination, Luminare looks exceptionally well placed.

NAP — very likely winner.

Grand Citadel

J: George Wood T: M Fenton

Race Winner

19/2

Reason for Tip

This race looks pretty open and ripe for the picking and one who looks a little bit of a dark horse is five year old Grand Citadel. Pretty low mileage and proved ability when landing 7f success at Leicester back in May. Hasn’t been since September so does have a break to contend with and whilst there is question marks over affinity for the straight mile trip, has ran this distance before and was a creditable performance. Remains open to improvement, capable of bouncing back after a poor couple of runs when last seen. Looks quite a weak affair this and Grand Citadel has a great jockey booking in George Wood who is no stranger to success at this track. Will need to be on song after the break to get the job done, but isn’t without chance.

19/2

8/1

🎯 Dark Horse

Our Absent Friends – 7.15 Newcastle – 9/1

Trainer: T Davidson
Jockey: Jason Hart

A wide-open Class 6, ideal for a big-priced runner.
Our Absent Friends is now on a dangerously low mark, has won at Newcastle before, and returns to a track he enjoys. Recent form is better than it looks, with several midfield finishes suggesting he’s close to striking.

Key positives today:

Good draw in stall 4
Drop in grade
Jason Hart — very much in form and a strong jockey at this course
Bookies paying 4 places, making him a superb each-way option

He should be finishing strongly and can easily outrun his price.
Live outsider with winning potential.

Colors Of Freedom

J: K T O'Neill T: Joe Ponting

Race Winner

11/4

Reason for Tip

In form six year old Colors Of Freedom looks set to take this in what is a very weak race. Form of 34422 since October and wasn’t far away the last twice at Wolverhampton and has a very good draw in stall 3 today. Has good form at this course and has amassed numerous AW wins in career so far. Remains well treated and a decent jockey aboard in K T O Neill. Really isn’t much to write home about for the other contenders and so Colors of Freedom is taken to get the job done today after knocking on the door recently.

Muskoka

J: H Cobden T: Miss E C Lavelle

Race Winner

8/1

Reason for Tip

Pretty open race here in the 2.05 and it looks to be a good looking race for eight year Muskoka from the Lavelle’s. Pretty straightforward horse who nearly always puts in a strong performance and form recently has been strong including a second at Wincanton lto in a Class 3. Drops back to Class 4 company today and we know he will stay the trip and be fine on the forecast good ground. Principal at the head of the market is a hattrick seeker and not sure will cope with the latest rise of 7lb. From the rest Muskoka looks to have a fantastic chance in this and has a world class jockey in Harry Cobden. Nice odds at 13/2 and is capable of winning this.

Homme De Fer

J: William Carson T: A W Carroll

Race Winner

9/4

Reason for Tip

Five year old Homme De Fer has been running very well recently with form of 23141 since October. Remains very unexposed on this surface with only two AW starts under his belt including a fourth here at Kempton two starts ago and a win lto at Lingfield. Open to further AW progress today in this Class 6 and whilst does go up in trip slightly, he has form over the straight mile and looks in red hot form. Only raised 3lb from the win lto and that is potentially not enough to curtail another win today. Solid booking in William Carson and looks a likely winner.

Top Guy

J: Harry Skelton T: D Skelton

Race Winner

24/5

Reason for Tip

Has shown a little inconsistency at times but looked much sharper lto at Aintree when winning a novice on first time sent over a longer trip. Seemed to suit and so yard have opted for more of the same and this six year remains unexposed at these 3mile+ distances and so capable of continuing progress. Yard have a fantastic record here and stable jockey Harry Skelton is always a positive booking. Jumped very well last time and if there is more of the same today, Top Guy could take some stopping. Currently one ahead of him in the market who is chasing a four timer but Top Guy looks to be on a much more workable mark and a little more unexposed at this trip. Good chance in this.
