Lingfield 2.00 Demoiselle Bond win. ( Currently 14/1 BOG) In running trade out @ 3.6/1.71/1.21)
I'm watching the market on this one, as it would be no surprise if it drifted more than the current 17.5 on the ex's, with the unfasionable trainer and jockey. Also with the strong wind, there may be plenty of layers wanting to take on front runners.
The fact remains her recent 6f a/w form reads 2,1,1. She appears to be improving and although she may be best on a slower surface, I don't think there will be any fast times today.
She has the perfect draw for a front runner and it's possible a few will try and tuck in early doors to get cover. Although it will be tough front running today, there is every chance the market will over play the issue. The fav Amoiste looks to have a strong chance, with the form of her last run over 7f already boosted, but I'm not certain how she will respond if she fails to get the lead. Although this looks an easier task than last run, the 2 lb increase, doubt about lead and the fact they chop and change with head gear, makes me want to look elsewhere.
Demoiselle Bond does have to overcome a poor run last time but that was over 7f and was eased once headed. At the likely price, looks worth forgiving.
I really can't comment on the jockey, but there'e an obvious risk of him going too hard early, so I'm going win only with the trades as insurance.
Hopes boosted.
