Orange set to blossom at last in Lingfield heat

Orange Blossom has been chasing black type all summer but faces a more straightforward task in the Ladbrokes Bet £5 Get £20/EBF Novice Stakes at Lingfield.

Trained by James Given, the Showcasing filly has yet to win a race but she has not been beaten far in some quality contests, most notably the Lowther Stakes on just her second start.

She was asked a pretty tough question on her debut in Listed company at York, so she has always been highly thought of.

Her only appearance outside of Group or Listed company came last time out at Catterick when she was disappointing in first-time blinkers.

However, with those left off, she is worth one more chance to show the ability which saw her beaten just five lengths in the Lowther by Fairyland.

Simon Crisford’s Sun Hat can notch up the hat-trick in the Follow Sun Racing On Twitter Handicap.

Fifth on his debut in December, he had a wind operation before returning in October to win at Newcastle.

A few weeks later he triumphed at Wolverhampton, but given the limited winning margins, he gets in here off a mark of 78 and Crisford has fitted him with cheekpieces to eke a bit more out.
