6:35 Lingfield
This Class 4 restricted maiden for three-year-olds over 1m2f at Lingfield on soft ground brings together a field of nine with limited public form but several well-bred newcomers from major yards. The KTB Fit scores are tightly bunched at the top, with Cherringham just heading the numbers on 52, followed closely by Relentless Hero, Parc Dosne and Celestial Cen all in the low fifties. With no previous course winners and limited soft-ground data the race lacks a standout profile, placing extra emphasis on trainer form at the track and how the newcomers handle the surface.
How the race shapes up
The pace shape is on the steady side with no confirmed front-runners declared. Cherringham from stall one and Liberate from stall two are both noted as prominent types and could dispute the early lead, while most of the field are expected to race in mid-division or further back. The key question is whether the race will develop into a true test on the soft ground or whether a crawl allows the more experienced runners such as Relentless Hero and Probation to close with interest from off the pace.

The contenders
Cherringham KTB Fit 52/100
Cherringham tops the KTB Fit ratings on 52 and is the selection. With no RPR available a neutral score has been applied on ability yet the yard's 25% strike rate at Lingfield and A/E of 0.91 from 97 runs command respect. Robbie Downey takes the ride though the trainer and jockey combination has yet to strike from six attempts. There is no course win or going data on record so the colt must prove himself on soft ground from the inside draw. The market read of 7/2 in a field of nine suggests plenty of respect for this Roger Varian newcomer.
Relentless Hero KTB Fit 51/100
Relentless Hero has the best public form in the line-up with an RPR of 78 and TS of 54 from his three starts, figures that compare favourably with the field. Andrew Balding's 16% strike rate at Lingfield comes with an A/E of 0.91 from 200 runs and the yard and jockey combination shows 55 wins from 392 rides at 14%. The colt has recorded recent form figures of 4-54 and should be suited by the step up to 1m2f. No course win is on record and there is no going data available so the soft ground remains an unknown though the form gives him every chance if he handles conditions.
Parc Dosne KTB Fit 51/100
Parc Dosne is rated just behind the top two on KTB Fit with a score of 51. No RPR is available so a neutral score has been applied yet the Andrew Balding yard's 16% strike rate at Lingfield and A/E of 0.91 from 200 runs again demand attention. William Carver is in the saddle for a trainer and jockey partnership that has struck at 13% from 243 rides. There is no course win or going data on record and the colt must step forward on debut for this trip and surface from draw six.
Celestial Cen KTB Fit 50/100
Celestial Cen is given a KTB Fit score of 50 and represents Archie Watson who has a 17% strike rate at Lingfield with an A/E of 0.94 from 93 runs. No RPR or TS figures are available so a neutral ability score has been applied. William Cox rides for a trainer and jockey combination that has hit 5% from 108 rides. With no course win or going data the three-year-old has plenty to prove on soft ground from stall five though the yard's local record offers some encouragement.
The rest of the field
LiberateKTB Fit 47/100
Liberate is rated 47 on KTB Fit. No RPR is available so a neutral score has been applied. Harry Eustace has a 12% strike rate at Lingfield with an A/E of 0.68 from 17 runs and there is no course win or going data on record.
Fabled SpiritKTB Fit 46/100
Fabled Spirit has an RPR of 63 and TS of 39 which look modest in this field. Archie Watson's 17% strike rate at Lingfield comes with an A/E of 0.94 from 93 runs yet the trainer and jockey combination shows only 7% success from 101 rides. No course win or going data is available.
AtaturkKTB Fit 0/100
Ataturk has recorded recent form figures of 8-0 and holds an RPR of 63 and TS of 60. Hughie Morrison sends him out from draw three though he sits on a KTB Fit of 0.
Cold FishKTB Fit 0/100
Cold Fish has the highest RPR in the field on 84 along with a TS of 32 and recent form figures of 3-3. Trained by Hilal Kobeissi he is rated 0 on KTB Fit and has no course win or going data.
ProbationKTB Fit 0/100
Probation brings recent form figures of 34 along with an RPR of 79 and TS of 58. Kevin Philippart De Foy trains the colt from the widest draw and he is rated 0 on KTB Fit.
KTB verdict
Cherringham is the KTB Selection. The Roger Varian newcomer tops the Fit ratings, benefits from the inside draw and is backed by a yard that operates at a 25% strike rate at Lingfield. While he lacks public ratings he is preferred to the more exposed runners on balance. Relentless Hero is the most obvious danger with the best RPR in the line-up and proven placed form while Parc Dosne and Celestial Cen are the other principals who could improve past some of the lesser fancied runners. Probation and Cold Fish cannot be entirely dismissed on their official figures if the race is run to suit.
