Value in Part Exchange

● Palmer’s filly can add to winning debut at Lingfield

Part Exchange made quite an impact on her racecourse bow and she can improve on that winning debut with victory in the 32Red. com/ British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies’ Handicap at Lingfield.

C l e a r l y H u g o P a l m e r ’s charge is at something of a disadvantage in terms of experience against some well- travelled rivals in this ten- furlong h e a t , b u t t h e r e wa s p l e n t y of promise in her initial sixlength triumph.

George Scott had high hopes for this Foxwedge gelding after he racked up a hat- trick in the e a r l y p a r t o f t h e ye a r, k i c k - ing off over seven furlongs at Wolverhampton in February. He went on to add another triumph at that track in March before switching to turf at Redcar in May, making it four wins on the bounce if you factor in his victor y at Nottingham on his final start of 2016 too.

S cott had hoped to test his powers at a higher level in the Britannia at Royal Ascot, but a late setback ruled him out of that run and has kept him off the track since.
