PENALTY KICK FOR GUMBALL
4.00 Lingfield A really interesting novice stakes event (well, for a Monday anyway) over the mile and a half course.
The BETDAQ market suggests a match between Gumball (Philip Hobbs) and Alleyf (William Haggas).
I have to be with the former who was a revelation on his all-weather flat debut at Kempton when recovering from a slow start to win going away unchallenged, he finished a length and three quarters ahead of the 1/3 fav Verdana Blue and the pair finished 10 lengths clear of the third.
The decent hurdler has to give 6lb away to Alleyf but this one has so far proved disappointing and has been beaten at evens and 4/5 in his last two starts, and it could be a case of the jumps boys beating the flat boys at their own game.
Momtalik has been gelded since his last run and representing John Gosden clearly merits respect but don’t be misled by his ‘third’ last time out. It was a last of three at Pontefract where he was beaten over 10 lengths.
4.15 Wincanton The Paul Nicholls trained Miranda is clearly going to be very hard to beat on her handicap debut as she looks unexposed and was very impressive when winning over course and distance last time out.
However, she hasn’t beaten much and faces a live rival here in Not So Sleepy who was even more impressive than Miranda when winning over course and distance last time out.
The Hughie Morrison trained runner has plenty of flat miles on the clock but looks an exciting prospect over jumps and at 4.6 versus 2.38 on BETDAQ at the time of writing has to be the bet for me.
5.00 Lingfield Serena Brotherton has a fine record in amateur rider events and she teams up here with Don’t Do It who looks worth a try having found a mile too short at Wolverhampton last time out.
He had previously won over this trip at Chelmsford and tries Lingfield for the first time today in what looks a modest contest.
