2:20 Lingfield: 2m3½f Class 4 handicap hurdle
Get The Inside Track With raceday-ready.com Mares' Handicap Hurdle Race
Five mares with two confirmed front-runners in Kamille Au Kanada and Ride Like A Girl, so the 2m3½f on good ground should be run at a fair gallop. The three highest-rated mares are close on the marks and the two lower-rated ones come off recent wins, so the race is more open than its size suggests.
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.
11Kamille Au Kanada t2-1511 · Chad Bament(5) · Anthony Honeyball108112top11/10Made all over this trip at Hereford on 26 Oct, then won in a canter at Hexham; she sets the standard if she gets her own way in front.
Kamille Au Kanada made all at Hereford on 26 Oct over today's 2m3½f, quickly drawing away after the last to win comfortably. She followed up at Hexham on 6 Nov in a 4-runner race, bounding away before the last to win in a canter. Her other win came at Plumpton on 26 May in a 3-runner race, and the two she beat there have done nothing since. Her only try at Class 3, Chepstow on 11 Oct, ended in 5th place, 12¼L behind, after she clouted 4 out; Connells Cross and Princess Day, who beat her there, were 3rd and 4th in a Class 2 at Newbury on 5 Nov. She has won 2 of her 3 races at this trip and has not run at Lingfield.
Back up to 2m3½f, where she won at Hereford, at the same Class 4 on good ground, with Chad Bament's 5lb claim off 172lb in a tongue tie.
All her wins have come from the front in fields of 6 or fewer, and Ride Like A Girl also likes to lead.
Our figure (in testing): 1st of 5. The read has her 1st.

23Ride Like A Girl t-12212 · Gavin Sheehan · Jamie Snowden108109-311/4Won off OR 107 at Hexham and runner-up at Stratford and Bangor-on-Dee; good enough at this grade if she stays the extra trip.
Ride Like A Girl led throughout to win at Hexham on 2 Oct off OR 107. She was then overhauled only at the last when 2nd, beaten 2¼L, at Stratford on 17 Oct. Her 2nd at Bangor-on-Dee on 8 Sep, beaten 6L, came in a race our figures say has worked out well. At Uttoxeter on 7 Jul she was 2nd, beaten 18L, to Eternal Angel, who has since won a Class 3 off OR 120. She runs off OR 108 today, against the OR 107 she won off, and has had no runs at today's trip in the last 3 years and none at Lingfield.
Up to 2m3½f for the first time in the last 3 years, on good ground she handles, with Gavin Sheehan riding off 165lb in a tongue tie.
Every recent run has been at 2m or 2m½f, and she will probably have to share the lead with Kamille Au Kanada.

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.
Kamille Au Kanada made all to win over today's trip and quickened clear, the best evidence that she stays 2m3½f strongly.
Miss Carbo beat Reel Orange 26L over this trip, but Reel Orange has won 3 of 5 since and is 10lb better off today.
Ride Like A Girl was 2nd to Eternal Angel, who has since won a Class 3 off OR 120, so her Class 4 form is solid.
Basilette finished 2¼L ahead of Cayman Dancer, who won a Class 4 off OR 110 next time, which gives her a mark to work with at OR 102.
