2.00 Lingfield Holiday Magic is quite a short price favourite, and he may well bolt in having previously completed a hatrick and looked to be progressing well. However poor run last time out off revised mark is a worry. Evening Attire wasn’t beaten far last time out 1 behind Holiday Magic, needs to step up again but this is 3^rd run back from a break so could improve further. Corporal Maddox has dropped to a tempting mark and return to 7f will help however not showing enough at present. Smart Salute was behind Holiday Magic last time out 30 days ago when he won, up 2lb for that effort and more needed. Dr Red Eye is the only front runner in this field and as long as he doesn’t go off too hard like hehas done the last couple of times he could prove hard to peg back. 1lb below last winning mark and only beaten 1/2length last time out. Yard are also going very well at present. 2pt win Dr Red Eye 11/4 coral 3.00 Lingfield Big field with several in poor form that said several of these are very well handicapped on their best however most have shown very little recently. Apache Glory has a reasonable strike rate for a class 6 animal however has just been running to a mediocre level at present and needs to step on last couple of runs. She is now 3lb below her last winning mark. Day Of The Eagle was not beaten far in a much better race last time out at Newcastle at beginning of October. Runs off the same mark today making AW debut and also stepping up dramatically in trip. Not tried this trip since he was a 3yr old and that has to be a worry despite being on a very lenient mark. Santadelacruze suddenly bounced back to form at 50/1 last time out when getting caught close home over CD, that form has taken a nice little boost with the 9^th and 10^th since running well. Up 1lb for that effort and should remain competitive although only placed off similar marks. Matraash was 4^th behind Santadelacruze last time out but he really caught the eye travelling very strongly throughout but had a nightmare of a run through and in the end when the gaps appears was just pushed gently. If the gaps appears and he travels aswell as he did last time out he could prove hard to beat, he is clearly well handicapped on that evidence and is down to his last handicap winning mark. 2pt win Matraash 9/2 pp
