Saturday Double...

Lingfield 14:40 - Look Here
1m 3f, Class 1 Listed Oaks Trial Stakes - Good to Firm

Trials day at Lingfield on the turf and first we start with the girls and the Ralph Beckett trained Look Here. Related to last years winner out of the same yard, Ralph knows the time of day when it comes to high class fillies. Taking on the previously tipped up Jazz Jam (part of the 33/1 double) and the Aiden O'Brien trained Ice Queen, Look Here is potentially high class and looks the one to beat. With just one run last year, she was mightily impressive when landing a maiden at Salisbury by 2/12 lengths from Doctor Fremantle... Hmmm where have I heard that name before?

2ND 2/1

Allowed a soft lead and to set a pedestrian pace Miracle Seeker, quickened from the front and won by 3/4l to our selection, a staying on Look Here. There was never enough pace in the race for Seb Saunders mount to quicken from and this was a trappy affair where very few got in to the contest.

Lingfield 15:10 - Alessandro Volta
1m 3f, Class 1 Group 3, Derby Trial Stakes - Good to Firm

The turn of the colts and a small but talanted field have been assembled for this interesting trial. Even before Luca Cumani's colt was withdrawn due to the ground, The Analyst was drawn to the Aiden O'Brien trained Alessandro Volta. An impressive winner on firm ground at the end of last season, there were excuses at Leopardstown last time when the saddle slipped at Jockey Johnny Murtagh was just a passenger for the majority of the trip. Happy to take on the improving Campanologist until Saeed sin Suroor's charges start winning, we side with Alessandro Volta even at the shortened overnight price. (Early Price 13/8)
WON 6/4F

Wandering around like a punch drunk boxer, Alessandro Volta seemed to get at least the 1m 4f, on offer today and may even prove to be another strong stayer for the O'Brien yard. Another messy affair, where they crawled early on and sprinted up the home straight, this looked a fairly weak Derby trial and and I'm not sure it will shake up the Ante Post market too much.
