Lingfield Race 5 - Highbet Weekly Racing Rewards Club Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
First-season sire Starman is making a strong impression. His debutant son ARMSTRONG (3) is a half-brother to a G3 winner and was a noted purchase as a yearling. Pressing claims on paper. COMMAND THE STARS (1) built on an encouraging Haydock debut winning by 4L at Beverley (1496m) last month. Likely to be thereabouts. ARJACK (2) finished fifth in novices at Ascot and Goodwood. This looks slightly easier and must be taken seriously. Well-related Kameko colt LEGACY ROCK (6) is another newcomer to note.

Third race start today. At debut, eased back early on 5th of 8 at Haydock Park on May 30 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Morris Dancer carrying 60.5kg at $11. Second-up came from midfield and scored a big 4 len win at Beverley June 17 over 1500m defeating Ibn Altheeb carrying 60.5kg at $3.50. Sure to measure up.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when 11th of 13 at Ascot on April 30 over 1000m, 11 len behind Wise Approach carrying 59kg at $26. No surprise if he came back in a lot better shape this prep.

Two-year-old colt (Kameko - Rich Legacy) making his debut. Should kick off on the right note.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, ran last in a small field at Wolverhampton on June 10 over 1200m, 10 len behind Ninth Crusade with 57kg at $67. Don't think he will trouble this field.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, eased back early on 8th of 13 at Windsor on June 2 over 1200m, 9 len behind American Gulf with 60.5kg at $51. Likely improver.
