Lingfield Tip: Diamond Charlie

Lingfield Tip: Diamond Charlie

Needed his comeback run for the past two all-weather seasons and trainer and jockey are flying at the moment.

It’s been 25 races since Diamond Charlie last tasted success and although his running style makes him a hostage to fortune, he is down to a mark where he should be competitive.

Diamond Charlie can run some rapid closing sectionals on his day. Last February he covered the final 2f in 21.79s and has fallen 8lbs in the handicap since then.

His comeback run 12 days ago didn’t scream ‘winner in waiting’ but he raced wide throughout and should come on for the run. For the past two all-weather seasons, he first two runs have yielded the following results:

2014: 01
2015: 02
2016: 8?

Diamond Charlie has massively improved on his second start and the same could happen this afternoon.

Simon Dow is in cracking form with 5 winners from 10 runners in December, whilst John Egan is running at a 24% strike rate (9-37) this month.
