The Verdict
FormCast selectionYazooConfidence 4/5Didn't win
Yazoo carries top weight for good reason - his OR of 54 is earned through recent improving form (8U241), including a recent win last time out. Ran just 5 days ago suggesting the yard has him fit and ready to go again quickly, often a sign of a trainer with a fancied runner. The blinkers appear to have sharpened him up - the '1' in his recent form line shows he's found the winning post. Draw of 3 is workable at Lingfield over a mile. Key rivals like Melodical and Irish Fusilier both have a '0' in recent form suggesting one below-par run, and Irish Fusilier's 954-70 line is patchy. Creciente (046123) is interesting with a recent win but stepped up in class/company here and unproven claims beyond. Henfield's -98214 shows recent improvement too but is more unexposed and drawn wide (10) which could be tricky. On profile, Yazoo's rapid recent placing to winning trajectory combined with a quick turnaround suggests she's playing to a leading role, and with George Wood taking the ride it suggests match fitness and confidence. I favour Yazoo on solid recent form trajectory and the confidence a quick reappearance implies.
