Neil Morrice shares all of his best bets and tips for Sunday’s racing coming your way from Lingfield and Kelso on 14 January 2024.
LINGFIELD PARK
Race 2 No7 ALEXANDRETTA
Trainer: Sir Mark Prescott – Jockey: Jack Gilligan
This should be a straightforward task for ALEXANDRETTA, who after troubling the judge in each of her five career starts and with blinkers replacing cheek pieces will have no excuses.
Race 4 No10 UPEPO
Trainer: Tony Carroll – Jockey: Rossa Ryan
A 6lb rise for his recent course triumph should not prevent UPEPO from making if a third success in four starts for his trainer. With go to jockey Ryan in the plate the grey can maintain his fine earning spree.
Race 6 No8 ISLAND NATIVE
Trainer: Mike Appleby – Jockey: Alastair Rawlinson
ISLAND NATIVE regularly troubles the judge and is a winner waiting to happen. Although drawn wider than ideal, if obtaining a stalking position he can swoop in the straight to score on only a third outing since joining his trainer.
KELSO
Race 3 No11 ARTIC ROW
Trainer: Nick Alexander – Jockey: Sean Quinlan
ARTIC ROW came out of the wilderness to score at Ayr before Christmas on his second run after a wind operation. Well-backed on that occasion, it would be no surprise to see him follow up for local connections.
