just been looking through the aw cards again at lingfield and there could be a decent laying opportunity in the 3.20. echo brava was installed as fav for this class 4 handicap over 1m4f and is currently around 3.3 on betfair. luke dace's runner has won his last two races including one over course and distance and runs today with a six pound penalty following a comfortable win at kempton last time. i am never one to go overboard about form in amateur riders races (no offence to them) and i think that run was actually below the level of form he showed when beating special mix at this track back in december. for me that was probably a career best effort, but in my opinion, even a reproduction of that would still leave him with a few pounds to find at these weights.

personally i think the one to beat here is slip of the tongue who back in august, also posted a career best performance over course and distance when making all the running to beat knights parade by a length. if slip of the tongue is fit after a lay off, then i think he will take a lot of beating here.

one who i would not completely rule out either is mica mika who is potentially well handicapped again following a few disappointing efforts, but im sure he is capable of much better than he has shown recently.

in laying echo brava i am splitting my lay into three parts and i will attempt to enter the market firstly at 3.25 then lay again should he hit 3 and finally go in again at around 2.74-2.76 should support continue for him.


best of luck to anyone having a go at this race.
