Lingfield and Wolverhampton host live all-weather racing today
Monday features all-weather horse racing at Lingfield and Wolverhampton, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. At Lingfield, the 4.17 novice stakes include Diablo Rojo. He won his first race at Redcar and placed sixth in the Acomb Stakes at York. After some recent wind surgery, he returns with a tongue strap. Don Pacifico, trained by Simon and Ed Crisford, also competes after a strong win at Southwell in December. Gallant, who recently beat a Group Two winner, is another strong contender in this race. Wolverhampton's 6.30 race features the in-form Tuscan Star, who is aiming for a four-race winning streak. Since moving to all-weather racing, he's improved from a rating of 66 to 84. Other contestants include Kate O’Reilly, who won last time and makes her handicap debut, and Ray Gunn, known for his consistent performances. In the 8.30 race at Wolverhampton, Paradoxical seeks to improve his standings for All-Weather Horse of the Year. He faces tough competition from Hitched, and Mr. Baloo, who is in good form after a recent win. Additionally, there is racing action from Chantilly. Cankoura looks strong after a recent victory there, while Yoga Master and Makhdoma are also expected to perform well in their respective races.
