Lingfield — 4 August 2026

Class 5 · 7f1y · 11 ran

Our bet: Mister Mojito (13/8)

Won by: Mister Mojito (IRE) at 9/4F · then Rogue Dynasty (GB), Dandy Khan (IRE)

What we said: Second in his last two starts and clearly finding this new mark, this in-form yard is firing on all cylinders with a 100% strike rate in the last fortnight, and the tongue strap goes on for the first time as a positive booster. His damsire line performs well on quick ground exactly like today's firm surface at Lingfield, and he's already a proven course performer at a strong 22% strike rate here.

Class 4 · 7f1y · 10 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Langdale Lass (4/6)

Won by: Fortunate (GB) at 16/1 · then Dun Eideann (GB), Steamy Wonder (GB)

What we said: Langdale Lass sits well clear at odds-on off a solid debut second, but she's already priced like the best horse in the race and I can't find daylight between what she's worth and what she's asked to be backed at; behind her it's a muddle of one-run maidens and unraced types (Wild Orchid, West To Rest, Fortunate) where nothing stacks up strongly enough to take on the favourite. Ten runners, thin form lines, and a jockey-context 12/6 stat that doesn't move the needle enough to build a case on.

Class 4 · 7f1y · 9 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Jazzy Blue (9/4)

Won by: Potters Margot (GB) at 25/1 · then Minnal (GB), Lushill (IRE)

What we said: Jazzy Blue and Minnal effectively share market leadership on fair prices, with Lushill's improving placed form (532) also in the mix, and nothing in the form book or today's conditions cleanly separates the top two; Jazzy Blue's串 6252 profile shows a filly who keeps knocking on the door without winning, while Minnal's 64 is thin claims-wise for a market leader, leaving too many plausible outcomes to back one with conviction at these prices.

Class 6 · 6f1y · 10 ran

Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Style King (3/1)

Won by: Elvetham (IRE) at 13/2 · then Style King (IRE), Just Jump (IRE)

What we said: Won last time out and the form line reads as a horse still improving (268531), while today's small home-turf sprint field lets that racing tempo carry over at an suitable trip. The stable's cheekpieces are already fitted rather than fresh, so this is straightforward form-in-hand rather than a gear gamble.

Class 4 · 1m6f · 4 ran

Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Tabasko (evn)

Won by: Tabasko (GB) at 4/5F

What we said: A filly on a clear upward curve, form reading 44-522 with the last two runs both seconds, drops into weaker company here off just 73 and gets a 3lb claim to boot. Her sire and damsire lines both point to thriving on quick ground, and with the going firm and set to stay that way she's precisely bred for this test at 1m6f.

Class 6 · 1m3f133y · 7 ran

Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Koko Blue (2/1)

Won by: Hope Rising (IRE) at 2/1 · then Douglas Dc (IRE)

What we said: Consistently placing at this level with a string of thirds and a second in her last four starts, and dropping back in with a light 9-7 looks the sort of opportunity that keeps producing frames. The yard is firing at 17% over the last fortnight and the trainer/jockey combination has a strong strike rate together, giving this the freshest form of anyone in a moderate Class 6 field.

Class 6 · 1m1f · 6 ran

We passed. Likely winner: D Day Major Winter (13/8)

Won by: Offiah's Boy (GB) at 5/6F · then Gert Lush (IRE)

What we said: Six runners in a shabby class six with the market split three ways: D Day Major Winter looks the one they fancy on quick ground pedigree and a strong record for James Owen's yard at this track, but his fair price already reflects that, Offiah's Boy is fresh off a quick turnaround and a clear second last time out yet trained by a yard firing blanks, and Gert Lush drifted a full point overnight despite decent recent form figures. None of the three separate cleanly enough on the numbers to risk backing at the price on offer, and a fourth runner in Monks Mead can't be dismissed either given the yard's recent handicap hit rate.
