Stay Classy^p1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁷⁾| T: R Spencer| OR: 82

14/1

Disappointing this season though has been highly tried and will appreciate this easier grade. Cheekpieces now replace visor on for this AW debut and wouldn't be a big shock if she was to bounce back to form.

Daddy's Daughter^h²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: M Dwyer| T: D K Ivory| OR: 80| D

11/2

Made all to win at Salisbury in the summer but has been struggling since, though return to AW could be a plus as she was impressive when winning on debut at Kempton a year ago.

Zafaranah²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: A Kirby| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 80| BF| D

6/1

Consistent filly on this surface and having gained deserved win at Chelmsford in September, has run well when runner-up both tries since. 6lb above that latest win but should make her presence felt.

Saikung³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 81| D

6/1

First run away from turf this year but arrives on the back of career best when second to useful type at Windsor on soft ground last month and a repeat of that would put her in the mix.

Secret Return¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: Karen George| OR: 78| CD

25/1

Bath win at this trip in August but not in the same form since and needs to bounce back. Did win here in March 2018 but this a much better contest.

Delicate Kiss^b¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Aled Beech⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 76| CD

9/2

Dual C&D winner last winter and put in a career best when gamely winning at Kempton earlier in the month. 4lb rise is fair and consistent mare who should get involved in this similar contest.

Itizzit³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: H Morrison| OR: 77| D

4/1

After a couple of tame efforts on turf got back on track when close fourth in a blanket finish at Kempton over 7f last time. Return to this longer trip no problem and may have more to come on AW.

Song of The Isles⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jane Elliott| T: H Main| OR: 74| D

16/1

8lb rise for Salisbury 7f win in August looks a touch steep and she never figured in better race at Newbury only run since. Now tries AW for the first time. Does stay this trip though bit to prove after latest.

I'lletyougonow^p²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: M R Channon| OR: 72| D

8/1

Sole career win was when making all at this distance at Windsor in the summer and although more is needed, she is well drawn for one who likes to go forward so could get the run of the race.

First Link³²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: Jean-Rene Auvray| OR: 65| CD

8/1

All three career wins have been gained on the AW here at Lingfield and although last two runs have been below par, she is well treated if able to bounce back despite the wide draw.

Forecasts

Itizzit (4/1), Delicate Kiss (9/2), Daddy's Daughter (11/2), Zafaranah (6/1), Saikung (6/1), I'lletyougonow (8/1), First Link (8/1), Stay Classy (14/1), Song of The Isles (16/1), Secret Return (25/1)

ZAFARANAH is a tough and consistent sort who goes well for Adam Kirby and from a decent draw can get back on the winning trail. Delicate Kiss has a similar profile to the selection and may give her most to do while Stay Classy could be worth noting in this drop in class and switch to the AW.
