Lingfield (AW) 2.00 Betway AW Marathon Championships Conditions Stakes 2m

We kick off AW Championships day with the Marathon over 2 miles and two of these stand out to me on both ratings and form. RAINBOW DREAMER is top-rated and looks to have a cracking chance of landing the opener. His form is the best on offer and is ultra-consistent at a very good level. His form of his latest races have seen his opponents fly out to Saudi to compete for massive prize money and the form with Mildenberger looks especially strong. If he replicates that running he will be hard to beat.

Ranch Hand is the other I like, he has been plying his trade over both codes, on the Flat and over hurdles with a solid level of form throughout. He won a Listed event at Newmarket at the end of last year and that would be good enough to be right in the mix with the selection. They do look a little bit clear of the rest. Rock Eagle was just behind Ranch Hand last time and will likely see the battle go the same way but could make up the top 3.

Newcastle (AW) 2.15 Bombardier Handicap 7f

This is competitive so I’ve gone for one with a bit of juice in his price in the shape of KAPONO for Roger Fell. This horse has won over C&D and while he hadn’t been pulling any trees down he did shape much better last time when second at Wolverhampton. He is 2lb above his last winning mark and if he builds on that he has a big chance here under 3lb claimer Ben Sanderson.

Broctune Red has been in terrific form but the handicapper might just be catching up now and he is short enough in a race like this. He would probably be the one I fear most but I couldn’t back him at that price. Gobi Sunset has been backed in at big prices and could run well after finishing second last time.

Lingfield (AW) 2.35 Ladbrokes AW Fillies’ And Mares’ Championships Conditions Stakes 7f

Not the strongest renewal of this race with just the 6 declared and you can see why INDIE ANGEL is fancied to take this. She landed a fillies event over a mile at Listed level at the track in October and has been put away for this ever since. That performance looks the best form on offer by a long way and the fact she did it so easily suggests there is more to come form John Gosden’s 4 year old and she will be hard to beat.

Fizzy Feet has been running well over 6 furlongs and if she can get the trip she has the class to be thereabouts but it is a big question to answer against such a good rival. Shimmering Dawn may be the one to follow the selection home if Fizzy Feet doesn’t get the trip as she has good form over 7 furlongs but it just may not be to the level of Indie Angel.

Newcastle (AW) 2.50 Betway Handicap 6f

Lingfield (AW) 3.10 Betway AW Sprint Championships Conditions Stakes 6f

This sprint looks one of the most competitive races on the card and the one I did like a lot in the lead up to the race is Harry’s Bar. He performs at a high level over this trip on the AW and even with Hollie Doyle booked to ride the draw of 12 has put me right off. So I have sided with another high class performer in SUMMERGHAND who was running a big race at Doncaster and had no luck in running and still finished 4th last weekend. He is clearly in good form and a run to that level or the level of either of his handicap runs before that he should take a lot of beating at a decent price.

Harry’s Bar is still the danger but he has a lot to do from the draw and I think Highland Dress may be the one to give the selection the most to do as he will be right up with the pace throughout.

Newcastle (AW) 3.25 Ladbrokes Burradon Stakes (Listed Race) 1m

Megallan is odds-on here for John and Thady Gosden and while this Kingman colt is very much respected I think he might be worth opposing with LEGION OF HONOUR for Roger Varian. The latter impressed visually last time and that was backed up by the clock. He is open to improvement and I think he could make a real race of it here – more than the odds are suggesting.

Megallan has more experience than the selection and should appreciate stepping back up to a mile so is the obvious threat. Final Voyage has won his last four and is doing nothing wrong but does look to be bumping into a couple who could improve more.

Lingfield (AW) 3.45 Ladbrokes 3YO AW Championships Conditions Stakes 6f

This is quite an interesting race with the proven MIGHTY GURKHA against the improving Diligent Harry. Mighty Gurkha is a Group 3 winner on the AW and was even sent over to the Breeders’ Cup so you can see that he is the quality in the field. Victory Heights did beat him but the selection was giving him 7lb that day and off level weights he should have the beating of most these on all known form and I would rather take the bigger price over the shorter price of Diligent Harry.

Diligent Harry is the danger after two very good wins and a close second last time. He lacks the experience of the selection but he is very talented. He will need to take another decent step forward to take this.

Newcastle (AW) 4.00 Ladbrokes “Play 1-2-Free” On Football Handicap 1m41/2f

Gleneagles colt GLEN AGAIN can win again. He bolted up over 1m2f here in January with Defined held in second. The latter has since opened his account and looks the danger again but I think the selection will confirm that form on handicap debut over this further trip. They are all positives and I thought he’d be shorter than the 9/4 on offer at the time of writing (actually a bit of a negative in the betting).

Defined is by Golden Horn and can continue to progress but does just look to be bumping into one again. Brown Delivers certainly shouldn’t be ruled out either. He has some very solid form in defeat and can improve too so I can see him finishing close up without being good enough. Napper Tandy looks a bit out his depth but should do better in time so it will be interesting to see how he fares against these.

Lingfield (AW) 4.15 Betway Easter Classic AW Middle Distance Championships Conditions Stakes 1m2f

This race doesn’t have much depth to it considering the prize money on offer with just 6 set to go to post. BANGKOK looks the one to be on here as he is 6lb clear on ratings of everything other than Forest Of Dean who he has finished in-front of twice this season already. He was sent to Saudi Arabia for the lucrative Saudi Cup but was clearly a bit out of his depth there but on his form over the last 12 months he could just be a bit too good for these.

Forest Of Dean is the danger but will have to find something to beat the favourite but they are most likely the 1-2. Palavecino is one at a bigger price who will be battling on for a place.
