Lingfield Race 7 - Smith & Western Showdown Hcp
DIOMED DUKE (4) recorded a seasonal best when 2L second at Newmarket last week. Much better weighted now taking into account a jockey claim. Course and distance winner last year and plenty to like. THE THAMES BOATMAN (1) is highly reliable. Runner-up last time at Salisbury (1000m) while enjoys the all-weather track at this venue. Record on this surface less impressive but still needs considering. MIRACLEOFTHEANDES (7) registered a 1.5L second among novice company last time (1000m). Entitled to improve with that outing behind him. SANDSCREENDELIVERD (6) goes well at this circuit. Consistent and makes the shortlist.

First-up. Finished off last preparation when last of 10 at Great Yarmouth October 21 over 1000m, 14 len behind Sturlasson carrying 59.5kg at $23. Previously first up; second of 7 at Wolverhampton March 24 2025 over 1000m, a neck behind Queen All Star with 59.5kg at $3.10. Doubt he will have much to offer first up.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd in a small field at this track on June 27 over 1000m, 1.0 len behind Ancient State with 59.5kg at $13. The run before that 4th of 10 at Salisbury on June 9 over 1200m, slow going 3.5 len behind Supreme King carrying 60.5kg at $29. Close to a win. One of the leading chances.

At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Newmarket (July) on July 17 over 1000m, 2 len behind Rocking Ends with 57.5kg at $4.30. Before that led to the turn then faded 5th of 7 at Newmarket (July) on June 20 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Quantum Power carrying 63.5kg at $5.50. Making headway. Will prove hard to beat again.

Second run back. First-up after two months ran last of 9 at Lingfield All Weather on July 6 over 1000m, 12 len behind Tan Rapido with 60kg at $11. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at Salisbury on May 3 over 1000m, 14 len behind Dapper Valley carrying 60.5kg at $7. Can't see him turning things around.

At the latest run held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at Lingfield All Weather on July 6 over 1000m, 4 len behind Law Of Average with 58kg at $7. The start before that struggled in the run home; ran last of 9 at Sandown Park on June 12 over 1000m, 13 len behind Twilight Calls with 58kg at $8.50. Has ability but looks tested in this line-up.

Second run back. First-up after a year 2nd of 9 at Nottingham on July 4 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Courageous Sioux with 56kg at $8.50. Previously second-up 4th of 9 at Newbury on July 10 2025 over 1200m, 6 len behind Brisk Symphony carrying 58kg at $6.50. Solid top-three chance with a repeat of that latest performance.
