Lingfield Tip: Yankee Storm
Needed his first start in nine months. Visor is back on and a bold bid expected.
With Ice Trooper the only confirmed front-runner in the 2.15 Lingfield, horses racing up or close to the pace should be favoured. Yankee Storm is a versatile performer, and if he adopts a stalking role he could spring a surprise at a good price.
The seven-year-old is having his second run for Michael Wigham, a trainer accustomed to landing big price winners and there are several reasons why Yankee Storm can improve on his last run.
Firstly, the visor is refitted; his last three wins have come when wearing some sort of headgear. Secondly, he was returning after nine months off the track and almost certainly needed the run.
A six-time winner on the all-weather, Yankee Storm knows how to get his head in front and looks the value at 12/1 with Paddy Power. The prices on Michael Wigham’s horses can quickly contract so place your bets sooner rather than later.
