Lingfield Race 3 - Sri Lanka, The Jewel Of Asia Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
DRAYTON FLYER (5) holds a promising profile following an 8L second in a 3200m maiden hurdle three weeks ago at this track. Top selection. GOLAN LOOP (6) ran well three weeks back prior to weakening into third contesting a 4200m maiden hurdle at Plumpton. Open to further improvement. Likely player. CAUVICOURT (3) improved sharply last month producing a 1.5L runner-up effort in a 3800m novices hurdle at Fontwell. Can continue the progress. BLUE BELLAMY (1) has placed three times from four starts including a venue third behind the top pick. Not discounted.
