20th November

2.0 Lingfield-This is a pretty weak affair with nothing in it having a convincing profile.Litmus was given a 2 month break after a couple of poor efforts and it returned with a top rated performance at Wolverhampton.It does have some decent ratings here though and despite it being an in and out performer,the price is big enough to warrant an interest.

Squirrel Wood has run a couple of decent races recently but has no form here.Hamble could go well back up trip while Birdie Queen steps up 2 furlongs and is from a good yard,Its shown nothing so far however.

Back Litmus 7pts at 8.0 at Bet365-4th(-7pts)Had the run of the race but wasnt good enough

Accept 7.0

230 Lingfield-Very competitive race with several having chances.If So and Peace Seeker are in form and consistent and should both run well.

Blessington looks a bit short in the betting to me but it has only had 4 races from a good stable.

At a massive price though,I can see Alben Star going well.It returns after a long absence but is 3w-0p-3r when returning to the track after 80 days or more.

Its 4w-1p-6r in fields of 10 to 15 runners and 2w-1p-4r in this class of race.It finished 2nd here on its only start at the track.

Back Alben Star 5pts at 13.0 at Ladbrokes-UP(-5pts)I hoped to see some money for this but it never came.Probably either isnt the same horse it was or wasnt ready but it was never going to win witht he places the jockey took it(DT-12pts).

Accept 10.0
