Lingfield Race 2 - Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap
DR STRANGELOVE (1) couldn't land a blow on soft ground at the end of last season however rates highly if returning in the same form as his win at Salisbury in October on turf. Market confidence will be crucial. DYRHOLAEY (2) rather lost his way after winning at Chelmsford City in February and the blinkers are retained for a second time. One to take very seriously. HOODIE HOO (5) was disappointing on turf. Missed an engagement at Wolverhampton last week. Not ruled out on the best of his form. RARE CHANGE (3) drops in grade and switches to the all-weather after several disappointing performances on turf. Revival needed.
