Lingfield Race 5 - Follow Attheraces On X Hcp
CLASSIC ENCOUNTER (1) went agonisingly close to breaking through when beaten only a nose over 1600m at Redcar last time. Set to be right in the finish again if replicating. DESERT SHADOW (3) returned to form with a solid runner-up effort at Redcar after a disappointing run two starts earlier. Holds ability to remain competitive in this deeper race. GREAT CHIEFTAIN (2) resumes after a three-month break following a below-par effort at Newmarket. Ran well previously when fresh. HUSCAL (4) continued his consistent form with a solid third at Newbury. Fitter again and well positioned so should be thereabouts once more.

Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 14 at Newbury on July 2 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Annastarzy carrying 65.5kg at $10. The run before that 4th of 10 at Windsor on May 25 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Antipodes with 58.5kg at $15. Will need further improvement to trouble these.
