FOXY SET FOR REPEAT WIN

⭕ 1.15 Lingfield This class 2 handicap stands out as the best race on Lingfield’s card. Fox Duty Free headed the BETDAQ BETTING EXCHANGE market early morning but he won’t be as short as he was last year (8/13) when winning this same race.

He’s back on the same mark of 92 today after his form had taken a dip but there was encouragement from his latest start – a close up third at Wolverhampton – to suggest he could be running himself back into form.

This seems to be his time of the year judged on his performances last year – when winning this he was completing a hat-trick.

The three-year-old Mobashr looks the obvious danger on just his fifth start. He was quite impressive when winning over course and distance last month and not disgraced when third on handicap debut at this level at Chelmsford. I think he’s handicapped up to his best form but there is every chance he could still be on the upgrade so his chance is respected.

Animal Instinct made all to win at Kempton last week but is up in grade and also up 5lb in the handicap which might prove a steadier.


NO MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB

⭕ 2.25 Lingfield Imperial Mountain is charged with ending Daqman’s year with a winning nap.

He showed considerable promise on debut at Newcastle when noted as being ‘tenderly handled’ inside the final furlong and clearly learned plenty from the experience as fairly scooted clear to win a Chelmsford maiden on his second start. Golden Whisper was third last day but it’s hard to see that form being turned around despite the 7lb swing in the weights with Imperial Mountain’s penalty.

The Mark Johnston trained Allarmista looks a bigger threat having run her best race yet when third at Newcastle last time out, the balance of her form though looks quite modest.


I FANCY HER CHANCES

⭕ 3.40 Uttoxeter Philip Hobbs is ending the year in good form with 5 winners from his last 21 runners and can boost that here with Fancy Your Chances.

The filly chased home the favourite Hidden Beauty on debut at Ffos Las when she had another of today’s rivals Time For Hollie back in third. That one had already had the benefit of a previous outing and I fully expect the form to be confirmed.

Magheroarty Star won an Irish point at Lingstown on debut on good ground but might things a bit different on the heavy ground forecast at Uttoxeter today plus the shorter trip.

What are points? Points facilitate a staking plan, which is the secret to creating profit. One point is whatever you choose: a pound, a euro, or whatever ….

Start with a bank and decide how much you can afford to lose over a period of time, and determine the size of your bets accordingly. Daqman makes this variation every day.
