Timeform Daily: Wednesday, Lingfield 16:30

Sir Michael Stoute: Trainer of Debating Society.
Timeform look ahead to an intriguing handicap at Lingfield on Wednesday...
Handsome Ransom got off mark at third time of asking in maidens when winning at Kempton in May (1m), but absent since flopping over that C&D the following month and tried in cheekpieces now.
Misdemeanour was unbeaten in couple of starts as a juvenile and hadn't done much wrong this term before disappointing at Ascot last time. Can be expected to bounce back and has dropped 2 lb as a result.
Estebsaal made a promising debut at Newmarket in June and improved on back of lesser effort to win 10-runner 1m maiden at Nottingham last time by 7 lengths. Will stay this far and initial handicap mark looks fair.
Al Baidaa has suspect attitude, but showing progressive form in handicaps, following up 10.3f Chester success with good second at Wolverhampton in blinkers/hood combination (only hood retained here).
Mawhub is a Singspiel half-brother to useful French 5.5f/6.5f winner Les Troyens from family of Oh So Sharp. Much improved from debut when winning 12-runner maiden at Newmarket and respected on handicap bow.
Popular showed a good attitude to get off the mark at fourth attempt in a 1m polytrack maiden here in June, but chance now depends on bouncing back from a lesser effort at Nottingham last time.
Debating Society was value for extra when winning 10-runner 1m event at Epsom last time by a length, winning cosily (idled) and looks to hold strong claims of following up under a penalty.
Venetian View is not the most straightforward and probably better on AW, all 3 successes in last 12 months coming at Kempton, though not discounted from handicapping point of view from this reduced turf mark.
Timeform 1-2-3:
1. Debating Society
2. Estebsaal
3. Misdemeanour
Timeform Verdict: Debating Society showed improved form to get off the mark at Epsom last week and is taken to double up here. Dangers are abound though, in particular fellow last-time-out victor Estebsaal, while Misdemeanour can be excused a rare below-par effort last time.
