Steve Ryder is back with three tips from today's action, including a 40/1 shot at Chelmsford.
14:25 Lingfield
The George Boughey trained VISION OF HOPE (best priced at 4/1) has been well backed overnight for her handicap debut and it is clear to see why she has proved so popular. The daughter of Mastercraftsman has been outpaced over a mile and 7f on her first three starts in maiden/novice company but interestingly now steps up in trip to 1m4f for her handicap debut.
The handicapper has given Vision Of Hope a lowly rating of 57 to start off and that could seriously underestimate her now upped to the correct distance on breeding. She has a similar profile to her stablemate Queen Of Ipanema later on the card and hopefully she can make a winning handicap debut.
14:40 Chelmsford
The unexposed Lord Paramount looks to hold strong claims on his handicap debut but I am going to take a flyer at OSTILIO (best priced at 40/1) at a huge price. It is a long time since the Phil McEntee trained seven-year-old was a Royal Ascot winner but you only have to go back to June to find his latest victory which came at 25/1 off a mark of 76 at Yarmouth.
Since that win Ostilio has disappointed on his four starts but he now drops into a 0-70 handicap for the first time. This represents a big drop in class and I think he is worth taking a chance on with Grace McEntee taking off a handy 3lbs.
15:00 Lingfield
Sea Tsarina is less exposed than QUEEN OF IPANEMA (best priced at 5/2) but the selection is in unbelievable form currently and bids to win a sixth race in a row. The George Boughey trained three-year-old showed very little in her first three starts over 7f and a mile before winning on handicap debut off a mark of 52. She is undefeated in her runs in handicaps and despite improving 31lbs since her first victory, she still appears to have a progressive profile.
Queen Of Ipanema steps up in class today but she looks worth keeping onside until she is beaten and hopefully she can win again under William Buick.
