Timeform Radio Tips: Monday December 31

Today's bets are at Lingfield.

David Cleary supplies a number of bets on today's card at Lingfield...

The rain it raineth every day, or so it seems, and even though Uttoxeter has somehow survived the deluge, conditions are sure to be atrocious. It may be better concentrating on Lingfield, which provides eight races on polytrack to end the year. The feature handicap is the seven-furlong affair at 14.30, and this looks quite competitive, with a case to be made for at least half the eight-runner field. Cut Across comes here in top form but is creeping up the weights without winning and is now tried in blinkers. Decent Fella is definitely interesting, dropped to a more realistic grade. He's been given a chance by the handicapper and his stable, that of Violet Jordan, is in its best form for a long time. Market support for Decent Fella is certainly worth noting. The solid option, though, is Kung Hei Fat Choy. He was a ready winner of a competitive event over course and distance last time out, form that's proved solid, suggesting he ought to have gone up more than 3 lb. Kung Hei Fat Choy is the one to beat.

The five-furlong handicap at 15.00 is another open-looking contest. Molly Jones wasn't seen to best advantage last time and her form the time before gives her every chance. She's one to consider but Atlantic Beach makes appeal too. He was off eight months before shaping well on his penultimate start and may have found his last run coming too soon on the back of that. Atlantic Beach should be spot on now.
