Ladbrokes Football Acca Boosty Selling Stakes

Off time: 18:32 | Winning time: 1m 50.29s

(1)

Lets Go Lucky^v¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 69| C

9/2

Landed the odds in a 7f claimer at Lingfield a fortnight ago (Get The Look back in third); her pedigree suggests that she'll stay this extra yardage (first attempt at the trip); can she improve her strike-rate to 40% (4-10)?

Form: 1190-51

(2)

Compensate^p²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 60

3/1

Finished a one-paced sixth of eight on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m) four weeks ago; it can hardly be viewed as a positive move that he's swiftly dispatched into a seller; cheekpieces retained.

Form: 045-6

(7)

Leo's Luckyman^b,t⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: L P Keniry| T: D Flood| OR: 26

80/1

£800 yearling with very poor form - beat only a single rival in his first four starts (6f-1m2f); saddle slipped when pulled-up here five days ago; simply can't be fancied.

Form: 700-0P

(4)

Never Said Nothing^p²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: J G Portman| OR: 61

2/1

Maiden (0-10); reasonably consistent overall; was promoted to second place by the stewards (winner weighed-in light) over 1m in a Class 6 handicap at Southwell in late November; place claims.

Form: 28220-5

(6)

White Lion

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: T Eaves| T: R Brisland

20/1

Unraced Haafhd gelding; second foal from a 5f winner (Shirley's Pride); should only be considered if proving particularly strong in the market exchanges.

Form:

(9)

Birkie Queen^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J S Moore| OR: 48

14/1

Maiden (0-12); hung left inside the final furlong when finishing well (33-1) behind Pink Jazz over C&D (Class 6 handicap) on her penultimate start; poor next time at Lingfield; stablemate of Get The Look.

Form: 786-327

(8)

Get The Look^b⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: David Probert| T: J S Moore| OR: 62

6/1

Out of her depth (wasn't entirely disgraced) in a Class 4 handicap at Kempton (1m) last week; renews rivalry with her earlier Lingfield conqueror Lets Go Lucky on much improved terms; stablemate of Birkie Queen.

Form: 0606-34

(5)

High Maintenance¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Nicola Currie| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 49

8/1

Due Diligence filly; didn't sparkle on handicap debut here (7f) last month - fifth of 11 to the evens-favourite Eglish; drops in grade over a new trip; has fewer miles on the clock than some.

Form: 675-5

Non-Runners

(3)

Ride And Prejudice²²⁰

Weight: 8-7| Age: 3

T: Miss J Feilden J: Charlie Bennett

Forecasts

Never Said Nothing (2/1), Compensate (3/1), Lets Go Lucky (9/2), Get The Look (6/1), High Maintenance (8/1), Ride And Prejudice (12/1), Birkie Queen (14/1), White Lion (20/1), Leo's Luckyman (80/1)

This selling stakes race will make precious little appeal to the vast majority of punters or racegoers. Get The Look ran respectably in a Class 4 handicap at Kempton last week, and is weighted to get much closer to his earlier Lingfield conqueror LETS GO LUCKY. However, winning counts for everything at this lowly level and with confidence drawn from her pedigree that she'll find this extra yardage within range, the Dave Evans-trained runner is taken to improve her career strike-rate to 40% (4-10).
