An excellent day's racing with Lingfield taking centre stage. Here are the thoughts of our Racing Factors tipster.
Lingfield
J: Billy Loughnane
T: C Johnston
Dear My Friend has come back a new model since being given a wind and gelding operation last Autumn and is a perfect 2 from 2 this season. He made short work of his rivals at Newcastle 2 runs back and then beat an in-form horse over this track and distance last time out at listed level. Back down into handicap company he has to shoulder top weight, but looks like a horse upto carrying the pounds. Dear My Friend is versatile regarding tactics and made most of the running last time out. From a good draw in 4 he could well dominate his rivals today. Dear My Friend rates a 4 star win Pick.
