Lingfield 28/1/09

2.40 Lingfield Eleven runners line up for the William Hill Telebetting On 0800 44 40 40 handicap tomorrow. Dinner Date has been in good form at Kempton but may be a tag high in the weights now, and those with course and distance form - Dudley Docker, Hucking Hero, Paradise Dancer and Pegasus Again - all have something to prove on the evidence of last time out form. Of that quartet, Hucking Hero and Pegasus Again make the most appeal at the weights as Hucking Hero is running off a mark 1 lb lower that his last win and Pegasus Again is back down to a winning mark. However, all could up upstaged by L’Hirondelle and Ocean Legend who filled the minor placings behind Harald Bluetooth over this trip at Kempton in a higher grade handicap last time out. The former is lightly raced for his age and looks the least exposed of the pair after only four career starts. After refusing to race on his debut he gained compensation at Kempton in November when a wide-margin winner over 9 furlongs in a maiden contest. He hung right around the bend when stepped up in trip on his next start here when 5th of 12, but appreciated a drop back in trip last time out when keeping on only to be headed inside the final furlong. However, the well-backed winner was an above average sort for the grade and is prominent in the betting for this years Lincoln and looks quite useful, considering he actually pulled up lame after that race so won despite not being at his best. Ocean Legend split the pair last time and was a length infront of the third, but he always seems to find one or two too good and has won only once from 18 starts. The yard’s runners have been running consistently, and running off idential weights again tomorrow they could both be closely matched again. However, Michael Attwater too is enjoying a good time of it of late with a 40 % strike rate from ten runners in the past fornight, and there is every reason to believe that after such a small number of starts further improvement is possible for his gelding, who can feasbily reverse the form and scoop the £4,857 prize.
