Chico Dulce and Charencey to land Billy Loughnane double on Gambling.com sponsored cards
Gambling.com sponsors two races on this afternoon's card, including the opener at 2:30pm with the Smarter Gambling Starts At gambling.com Handicap. LADY AIYANA carries the highest RPR in the field on 69, with an in-form yard behind her in Ilka Gansera-Leveque and Benoit de la Sayette on board to try to unlock it. Check the latest prices across the top betting sites before racing gets underway. The form book, though, favours CHICO DULCE. The 6-y-o races off just a 53 rating, is already a course and distance winner around this track and trip, and his figures of 15- 473 include a third last time out that puts him firmly in the shake-up again. Billy Loughnane, who currently leads the Jockey’s Championship, with 94 wins this season, takes over and gets a workable stall three for Michael Madgwick's yard. Recommendation: Chico Dulce 9/2 Paddy Power 4.00 Lingfield.
In the Compare Licenced Betting Sites gambling.com Classified Stakes, DOTTIES STAR is another course and distance winner and shares the highest official rating in the race on 50, but his last two efforts (form figures 7-1705) have tailed off and he needs to rediscover that form back over this longer 1m4f trip. The vote goes to CHARENCEY, who has been second in each of his last two starts from that same senior mark of 50 and is fitted with a tongue strap and cheekpieces. Ian Williams, winning at better than a 50% strike rate with his string, sends the 6-y-o out from the innermost stall carrying the top weight of 9st 9lb, and Billy Loughnane, on board again, looks nicely poised to go one better. Recommendation: Charencey 9/4 Sky Bet 18+ GambleAware and please bet responsibly.
