West Leake aiming to repeat last season’s Lingfield form - Lingfieldpark.co.uk Handicap
Although West Leake is unlikely to get decent odds following a few terrible outings at Kempton, he has a good chance of replicating what he did at Lingfield last season. The 6-year-old is due to run in the lingfieldpark.co.uk
Handicap, taking place on Tuesday, May 29th.
The class 6 meeting will be kicked off at 17:50 GMT. The 1-mile meeting has attracted 10 quality runners. Among West Leake’s opponents are: Footstepsofspring, Querido, Ymir, Karate, Fitz, Cottonfields, Rasteau and A B Celebration.
The contestants will pursue a cash prize worth £1,704.
The punters have plenty of reasons to support West Leake. The bay gelding was quite impressive at Lingfield last season. Heart's Feel Good Friday Handicap (Div II) saw him sealing the victory by a head’s distance.
Although he failed to produce similar stuff in the following race, one must not underestimate his class. West Leake is 6lb lower than when making two outings at this venue last season. So, it will also be a huge advantage for
him especially in similar conditions.
Footstepsofspring is another to consider. After a lot of struggle, the 5-year-old managed to taste success at Wolverhampton last month. In the Follow Us On Twitter @WolvesRaces Handicap, Willie Musson’s charge upset the 7-4
favourite, Goldstorm, to grab the first position by a length’s distance. He is likely to get the highest starting price, but cannot be trusted blindly.
Querido is also full of confidence following a recent strike at Salisbury. Under Miss M Bryant, the Paddy Butler-trained created a huge upset and bagged the winning prize in the Betfred Bonus King Bingo Lady Riders' Handicap
(For Lady Amateur Riders).
Ymir might just set it up for the closers. The 6-year-old knows this track better than anyone, but is out-of-form these days. In both of his appearances at Lingfield this season, Zaha’s son ended up third on the table.
According to our calculations, West Leake has a great chance of springing up a surprise. The conditions are going to suit him and he needs just an extra effort to make the best of it. We wish the best of luck to everyone.
