HE’S SUMMIT SPECIAL
ACONCAGUA MOUNTAIN (5.30) can stand tall for thriving Iain Jardine on the Wolverhampton all-weather.
The speedster handled this track well when slamming Fair And Square in a similar event last month.
The gelding scored with plenty in hand so ought to shrug off a well-earned 7lb hike under Andrew Mullen.
COMPLIANT (7.30) rates a typical James Fanshawe improver in the talkSPORT
Handicap. The filly stands to defy a lenient 4lb penalty for decisively defeating Broctune Red at Newcastle a month ago.
Philip Kirby’s CARACRISTI (8.0) can cost the bookies dear in the BetUK Handicap.
The three-year-old was an excellent second to Guitar over a mile here a week ago.
The filly was staying on strongly so should triumph over this extra furlong for her in-form handler. VITESSE DU SON (8.30) stands to show his rivals a clean pair of heels for skilled Alice Haynes.
The five-year-old was better than ever when chasing home Measured Moments over track and trip three days ago.
The gelding still lurks on an attractive mark so gets the nod in a slightly weaker event.
POP DANCER (1.12) should put his best foot forward again for Tony Carroll at Lingfield.
The five-year-old completed a hat-trick by outpointing La Roca Del Fuego over course and distance last month.
The sprinter is in the form of his life so should make light of a 2lb rise in an easier race.
The shrewd handler ought to double up in the lucky last with COME TO PASS (3.20).
The three-year-old relished 1m 2f when dismissing George Ridsdale here last month.
The gelding was value for more than the half-length verdict so can follow up from a kind draw. Ivan Furtado is hitting form so GIORGIO VASARI (1.42) is worth backing in the Spreadex Handicap.
The four-year-old defeated Fly The Nest three days ago at Wolverhampton and is fairly treated versus struggling foes.
RIVER CHORUS (2.20) can stay on song for Phil McEntee in the Spreadex Bonuses Handicap. The filly won’t mind returning to a mile after routing Huntsman’s Moon at Wolverhampton last Friday.
THE cold snap has wiped out today’s NH meetings at Market Rasen and Plumpton – while putting all-weather Flat cards at Lingfield and Wolverhampton in jeopardy.
Officials at Lingfield will check the racing surface – the forecast is for snow and temperatures of -3C – at 7.30am. Wolverhampton counterparts will inspect at 10am for their fixture.
