LAURENTIA IN BIG STEP UP IN DISTANCE

Sophie Ralston - rides Laurentia at Lingfield

Sophie Ralston – rides Laurentia at Lingfield

LAURENTIA is the stable’s only runner today, one of ten horses who go to post for the 1m2f novice at Lingfield Park (2.10pm), a big step up in distance from her debut.

The 3yo daughter of Iffraaj was a well beaten last of nine on her debut over 6f at Kempton a fortnight ago, so she will need to find massive improvement  for the step up in trip to trouble the judge.  Sophie Ralston rides the 80/1 shot who will find it easier when handicapping.

This contest looks to be between the market leaders, Dubious Affair, Merry Vale and Opportunist.
