Benandonner to take charge of the Lingfield Park Marriott Hotel & Country Club Selling Stakes
The line-up of nine for the Class 6 Lingfield Park Marriott Hotel & Country Club Selling Stakes is fairly experienced at racing at Lingfield, however, not all of them have finished decently there. The race will be held over seven furlongs on Thursday, 7th June. The prize money set for the winner is £1,704.
Leading all the candidates with the most appropriate credentials is Benandonner, Giant’s Causeway’s nine-year-old chestnut gelding out of mare, Cape Verdi. He has been active five times during the new season and has improved remarkably towards the most recent outings of the campaign.
He penetrated into the season on 16th April in the Standing Sire Whatacaper.Com Handicap at Windsor over a mile and half a furlong. The race was won by Moone’s My Name while Benandonner ended ninth on the track of fourteen.
The nine-year-old bucked up in no time and was settled right next to the winner on 2nd May at Kempton over a mile. Follow Us on Twitter @ Bluesq Handicap was won by Great Shot who led the field by a length.
Reserving the third slot was Ree’s Rascal while the 5/2 favourite of the race, Reachforthebucks ended fourth on the track of twelve.
After being blown off in the third outing of the season, he did not let go off the following two races. He was the 1/5 favourite winner of the James Ward Selling Stakes on 21st May at Leicester over a mile and half a furlong.
Riding with Ryan Moore, the winner led the runner up, Mighty Clarets, by six lengths. Filling up the third slot behind the winner was Aussie Blue.
He then dictated the terms for the Allan Estate Agents A Smooth Move Claiming Stakes on 28th May at Carlisle over a mile. The 10/11 favourite yanked away the victory from River Ardeche who was closing in at a mere neck’s difference.
Making peace with the third position was Rasselas.
He will need to look out for Divine Rule who has an extensive racing experience at Lingfield but could not pull out anything truly impressive till yet. Another one to look out for is Ursula who has been notching up the profile with decent rankings lately.
