Timeform UK SmartPlays: Monday December 31

Racing takes place at Lingfield on Monday.

Timeform suggest a trio of bets at Lingfield on Monday...

Despite the presence of several last time out winners, Lyric Ballad (12:30) looks set to pounce today and get off the mark in the nursery over seven furlongs. The daughter of Byron has caught the eye when finishing fourth at Kempton and Wolverhampton on her last two starts, not having the run of the race on both occasions and she can take advantage of a drop in the weights to take this event.

Commanche (13:30) landed a seven furlong maiden at Musselburgh for Bryan Smart in the summer of 2011 and returned to form for new connections on his all-weather debut when taking an 11-runner six furlong event on at Kempton earlier this month, forging clear and well on top at the line. A 5 lb higher mark will make life tougher here, but he appears revitalised by his new surroundings and remains unexposed on this surface, so looks one to be with.

Recent winning form is in short supply in the penultimate event on the card, but several runners are in decent nick including the prolific Chjimes (15:00), who is seeking his fourteenth success at this venue today. His last four runs here have all been creditable and have included a couple of placed efforts, so it's perhaps surprising that the handicapper has seen fit to drop him a further 2 lb in the weights. It's possible the eight-year-old will take advantage of this leniency and further add to his impressive course tally.
