1:20 Lingfield: 2m Class 5 bumper
Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Open National Hunt Flat Race (Category 2 Elimination) (AWT)
A 4-runner bumper where only one horse has winning form, a modest Hereford win in a weak small field, and two of the four have never run. That leaves it wide open to a newcomer from a big yard, so the form book gives only a soft steer.
Going now standard / slow. The read was written at 00:49, when it was good, and is not changed.
The runners
In order of our rating, best first. The rating is in pounds, so the gap says how far behind the top each one is: a 2lb race is open, a 10lb race is not. Press Form on any horse for its runs, the case for and against, and what suits it. Prices as at 10:00.
11Bombus Pascuorum41 · Harry Brown(7) · Donald McCain-90top5/2Won a 4-runner Hereford Class 5 bumper over 2m on 13 Oct; weak race behind it, but the only winning form in the field.
It won a 4-runner Class 5 bumper at Hereford on 13 Oct over 2m on good to firm ground. It hit the front over 2f out and was only pushed out, with Indiza 16½L behind in third. Indiza has run once since, 9th of 9 beaten 29½L at Huntingdon on 28 Oct, so the race has not worked out. On debut at Stratford on 25 Aug it was 4th of 8 beaten 12½L, pressing the front group 2f out before losing momentum late. It has won 1 of its 2 races at this trip, and it has never run at this course.
Same class and trip as its win, on good ground rather than good to firm, with Harry Brown claiming 7lb for Donald McCain on its first run at the course.
Its Hereford win came against little, and it has yet to face a newcomer of any standing.
23Got To Be Real1- · Sean Bowen · Olly Murphy-86-41/2Unraced, for Olly Murphy and Sean Bowen; the only winning form it must beat is a weak Hereford bumper.
It has no previous runs, so there is no form to read. It runs for Olly Murphy with Sean Bowen riding and carries 156lb. Its record at the trip, at the course and on the ground is all blank. The only winning form it has to beat is Bombus Pascuorum's Hereford win in a weak 4-runner race.
Debut over 2m on good ground for Olly Murphy and Sean Bowen, with no headgear.
Unraced, so its ability is unproven.
34Allez Jacqueline52- · Gavin Sheehan · Katy Price-78-129/1Unraced filly for Katy Price carrying 149lb; no form to go on, and the bar is a modest Hereford win.
It has no previous runs, so there is no form to read. It is a filly for Katy Price, ridden by Gavin Sheehan, and carries 149lb, the lowest weight in the race. Its record at the trip, at the course and on the ground is all blank. The bar to clear is Bombus Pascuorum's win in a weak Hereford bumper.
Debut over 2m on good ground with Gavin Sheehan riding for Katy Price, carrying 149lb.
Unraced, so its ability is unproven.

How to read this table
Rating is the read's own figure for each horse today, in pounds on one scale for the race. Our figure, a separate mechanical rating, is in testing and shows inside each horse's form until it has a record worth showing.
Days is days since the horse last ran. OR is its official rating. A small letter after the name is headgear (b blinkers, v visor, p cheekpieces, t tongue tie, h hood).
Key form lines
The past races that say most about this one, and what they mean today.
Bombus Pascuorum won it well over today's trip and class, but the one runner to run again, Indiza, was tailed off at Huntingdon, so the race was weak.
Bombus Pascuorum was 4th beaten 12½L on debut after lacking a finishing effort, and the only later winner from the race is itself.
