8/1

Lexington Place⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-6| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 75| CD

12/1

Ten times a winner from 49 starts in total but well held in recent starts. Handicap mark is sliding and worth a check in the market for a yard who have had a couple of winners in recent days.

Forecasts

Stake Acclaim (11/4), Tumblewind (5/1), Escalating (6/1), Elysian Flyer (8/1), Foolaad (8/1), Confessional (11/1), Lexington Place (12/1), Huntsmans Close (25/1), Oh So Sassy (25/1), Treaty Of Rome (25/1)

TUMBLEWIND can complete here hat-trick by taking this Class 3 5f handicap. The selection was successful on soft ground at Doncaster last time out and has the same jockey in the saddle here. Of her rivals today Oh So Sassy can put a poor run last time out behind her by finishing third while Stake Acclaim, a winner at Windsor last time and Confessional are others to note in this.
