Lingfield Race 1 - Alan Rae Smith Errant Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
AFFETTUOSO (3) sets a clear standard. Freshened since 5L fifth at Carlisle behind some smart types. Now in much easier company and represents yard in flying form. Hard to oppose confidently. ASTRID (4) stayed on well for 4L third at Wolverhampton. That was an improvement on debut and there should be more to come at this longer trip. Keep safe. ONEINTHEWELL (1) has been in great form over hurdles of late. Held off rivals for nose success at Market Rasen two starts ago and is very interesting switched to the flat. Winning hope. LOST IN WONDER (2) best effort came when placing at this track. Below that level when last seen but is certainly not ruled out entirely.

Recent form sound. Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Worcester on August 19 over 4000m, 5 len behind Road To Wembley with 73kg at $10. The race before that won by a nose at Market Rasen on July 18 over 4100m defeating Nottodaybobo with 72.5kg at $5. Can play a major role the small field.

Third race start. First start 7th of 12 at Newcastle All Weather on April 20 over 1600m, 14 len behind Bintaziza carrying 58kg at $8. Went for a spell before returning 3rd in a small field at Wolverhampton on August 18 over 1900m, 4 len behind Franschhoek carrying 57kg at $34. Fitter and worth following up.
