Lingfield Tips: Great Expectations

Lingfield Tips: Great Expectations

Rated 9lbs lower on the all-weather and shaped as if ready to take advantage of his lenient mark.

Great Expectations is one of those increasingly rare horses that has a lower all-weather handicap mark compared to his turf rating.

He on at Bath off 69 and ended the summer rated 72 but is allowed to compete in the 1.40 Lingfield off a mark of 63.


This strong-travelling horse might be better suited by a synthetic surface and he shaped with huge promise on his last start. The 7-year-old weaved his way through a bunched pack to clock the fastest closing sectional, despite making his run up the unfavoured far rail.

He faces most of the same rivals this afternoon and can turnaround the form if getting a slightly stronger pace to aim at.

Expect Ali Rawlinson to be flying down the outside this time and he can take the win at 7/1 (Boylesports).
