Favourites include joint favourites. Dimmed rows have fewer than 30 runs. Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation at SP. Favourite-heavy samples naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%". £1 P/L is level stakes at SP.

Angles that have paid

at SP, two periods

Past results at starting price, not a forecast. Each angle made a £1 level-stakes profit in both periods (Jan 2005 – Sep 2021, and since Oct 2021), with at least 100 SP-priced runs and 10 winners in all, and is still in profit with its single biggest winner taken out. The same on every view of this page.

No angle at Lingfield clears those tests. Nothing here has paid consistently at SP — which is itself worth knowing.

About Lingfield

checked October 2026

Layout and key facts

  • Where: Lingfield, Surrey, a short walk from Lingfield station — Flat on turf and Polytrack, jumps on turf.
  • Turf Flat: Left-handed and undulating, about 1m4f round, with a straight 7f that runs downhill for much of its length.
  • All-weather: A left-handed Polytrack oval of about 1m2f, racing all year with many winter and evening fixtures.
  • Jumps: Left-handed and undulating, with fair fences.

Going and the seasons

  • All-weather: The surface is read as Standard or Standard to Slow, and changes with the weather far less than turf.
  • Turf: The summer Flat fixtures usually race on good or good to firm ground; the winter jumps fixtures on soft or heavy.

Signature races and fixtures

  • All-weather: The Winter Derby (1m2f) in February, with trials for the All-Weather Championships through February and March.
  • Turf: The Derby Trial and the Oaks Trial (both about 1m3f) in May.

Practical notes

  • Getting there: Lingfield station is a few minutes' walk away, on the line from London Victoria; parking on site.
  • Viewing: The grandstand faces the finish of all three courses.
