3.00 Lingfield Teen Ager EW @ 9/1 PaddyPower This horse has promised plenty in some of his recent runs and not gone through with his effort. A change of scenery may just perk him up. He is clearly a tricky ride but Jimmy Quinn knows how to win with him. He is a CD winner and the trainer is in good form at the moment so maybe Teen Ager can get things right tomorrow and get his head in front. He has won off higher marks in the past and I think he is in form despite a poor run last time out.

Re: BBOTD Wednesday 6th 16.30 Lingfield: Gaelic Silver @ 7/2 Betfred Already a seven year old, yet unexposed on the All-Weather. He came down a good deal in the weights since moving to the UK and is certainly down to a very lenient mark. He was a very eye-catching 2nd three weeks ago here at Lingfield when he had things not really in his favour. He travelled super well in rear, but the pace was slow and he had loads to do turning for home while the eventual winner had the run of the race from the front. Gaelic Silver really finished like a train in the closing stages suggesting he is in fine form and better than the current mark, but had to settle for second. The handicapper raised him by 1lb for that effort which won't make any difference I suppose and if you consider that he was back in 2011 still the winner of a class 1 Handicap chase over in France it looks obvious that he could be easily better than the rest of this modest looking field. Main danger is probably the Gosden horse with Buick up, but has only ordinary form to offer in maidens, even though the mark could be lenient on handicap debut. Will see but feel confident about Gaelic Silver.
