Lingfield Race 2 - Always Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
FELIX GEM (6) looks progressive. Managed to get off the mark at the third attempt winning by 1.25L a 1600m novice race at Chelmsford City AW three weeks ago. Leading player. ALBA GU BRATH (4) finished runner-up on his first two AW outings over 1600m last year before a 2.75L victory attempting a 1600m novice event at Newcastle AW two months ago. Rates the main danger stepping up in trip. AL AZD (3) represents notable connections. Showed plenty of promise last month when 1L second contesting a course and distance maiden. Big claims. A TASTE OF GLORY (2) won a 1600m Brighton maiden two starts back during October. Warrants a market check. Something for the Multiples: EXOTIC BABY (1)
