13:30 Lingfield One I like here is SIEMPRE ARTURO for the Kubler team, whose form has a solid look to it. He ran well trying to give 29lb to a horse called Alrazeen on his penultimate start and was only beaten a length, that rival has since run creditably off a mark of 78. So it was no surprise to see Siempre Arturo sent off a 2/1 favourite off a mark of 70 last time out, he justified those short odds with a cosy victory. That race has worked out well since with the 3rd and 4th both winning subsequently, so he could well prove ahead of this mark of 74. PARTY ISLAND caught the eye running on late over an inadequate trip last time out and I think he’s been aimed at this race for a while. He is a three-time course and distance winner, bolting up here in July 2022 by 5 lengths off 1lb lower than his mark today. George Bass gets on very well with this horse having been on board for 5 of his 7 career wins, which is always a positive in these apprentice races. SIEMPRE ARTURO 10/...
