Lingfield Tips: Beauty Pageant
Back in form and should cope with the strong pace having raced mainly at a higher grade.
The 4.10 Lingfield is a peculiar race in that there are plenty of front-runners but no hold-up horses good enough to capitalise on a potential pace collapse.
To win, a jockey will need to be brave and opt for patient tactics on a prominent runner. Drawn wide in stall 9, Sean Levey might be forced to ride Beauty Pageant conservatively but that could work in his favour.
Progressive as a 4-year-old, she seemed to hit the buffers this season but she’s had excuses. The yard were out of form in the first half of the summer and then the ground turned unsuitably soft in the second half. However, on her last start at Bath she showed ability remains as she chased home the useful Demora from a wide draw. At a best price of 10/3 (BetVictor) she’s well worth a look.
