PADDOCKS PATENT (WEDNESDAY)

14:10 Lingfield We are rather forced to go the all weather route with our selections today but this is a warm race and a few have strong looking claims. Lujeanie knows his way around here and also knows how to win, his second half of the year has been rather disappointing but he showed plenty enough last time in a better grade and the handicapper has given him a chance. Usually seen in cheekpieces, connections have switched to the visor and as he’s run well in them before, he is taken to score off a 6lbs lower mark than when last winning over course and distance. Random is relatively unexposed and has plenty going for him in this, his yard know how to land a gamble and a reproduction of his winning effort two starts back would see him bang their. Compton Prince is well handicapped in terms of winning but rarely does, he ought to be in the firing line and is respected, his price however tampers enthusiasm. Lujeanie ( EW if 5/1+ )

15:10 Lingfield Malaysian Boleh has yet to win over further than seven furlongs so this mile has to be a worry, he does have a habit of causing a surprise though and should he get the trip today, he would be a very big player. Franco’s Secret has only had the five runs and four have come at Kempton including a win, he should have plenty of improvement to come and is feared against a modest looking bunch but is likely to be short enough. The interesting challenger is Nimble Kimble, she came from an impossible looking position after a long lay off last time to finish a never nearer sixth. With that run expected to be improved upon she is given a speculative vote trading at double figure odds. Bosstime is on a hat-trick and has to be respected whilst Stormbound also looks a likely player in this grade. Nimble Kimble ( EW if 5/1 + )

15:40 Lingfield The unexposed handicap debutant Bush Warrior has shown signs of ability and has done around here, he probably doesn’t need to improve much to take this but his odds are likely to be short enough and he has been gelded during that absence. Give Us A Belle is in the correct grade and ought to have a say at the business end, the downside to him is the fact he has run below par on all four previous visits here. Qatar Princess is an eight race maiden whom showed a decent attitude when attempting to make all the last day, she finished third in the event but she ought to improve and should play a part. The headgear worn the last day is retained and with questions over a few, she is taken to make all. Qatar Princess (WIN)
