Lingfield preview: Lots to like about Lady Lunchalot

David Metcalf | December 16, 2015

Lady Lunchalot has an excellent record at Lingfield, so can further enhance it with victory in the 1m 4f apprentice handicap there today (15.20).

The Laura Mongan trained mare is a five-time winner at the venue, with the last of those successes coming back in February off a mark of 67.

Lady Lunchalot has since run a number of solid races to make the frame, and signalled that her time was near when an excellent head second of 11 to Artistic Flight over course and distance on her penultimate outing.

The five-year-old backed that up with a fine 3/4 length second to the thriving Saint Honore, again over course and distance, and although now 1lb higher in the weights remains well-treated on the pick of her form.

Lady Lunchalot’s revised rating of 65 is still 2lb lower than when last successful and gives her major claims from a handicapping perspective.

The daughter of More Than Ready also goes well for Patrick Vaughan who is decent value for his 5lb claim, so this looks a nice opportunity for Lady Lunchalot to gain a deserved success.

Tate’s colt might just Fit The Bill for punters

In the 1m 2f handicap (14.15), Fit The Bill looks a worthy favourite to land the spoils now dropped back in trip.
