Lingfield Race 4 - Sporting Times/Sri Lanka Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
BEHIKE (1) was dominant when shedding the maiden tag last time. Powered away impressively to score by 7L over 1200m at Lingfield. Lightly raced with plenty of upside and course form is a plus. Could take beating. RAILWAYMAN (2) comes off a strong triumph at Ayr tackling 1200m two weeks ago by 1.75L. Credentials are solid. Hard to dismiss. RAY MON DOUGH (3) resumed with a sixth at Kempton Park. Might be fitter for that outing making him capable of landing a significant blow here. JEANS BOY (5) is a debutant by Starman from the Archie Watson stable. Profiles as a genuine top-three chance on paper.

Second-up. Promising on debut held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at Ascot on September 5 over 1400m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Raaheeb carrying 60.5kg at $3. Went for a break before returning won by 7 len at Lingfield All Weather April 20 over 1200m defeating Golden Brown carrying 59.5kg at $2.50. Can go on with it. Still has scope for improvement and a bold showing is expected.

Three-year-old gelding (Starman - Paddy Again) making his debut. Profiles nicely and is worth keeping safe.

Was at very long odds at debut, 8th of 13 at Southwell All Weather on April 25 over 1200m, 9 len behind Zarinca carrying 54kg at $67. Don't think she will trouble this field.
