Minstrels Gallery looks nicely treated on the pick of his form in the 2.30 at Lingfield today and worth a wager at 5/1.

Lucy Wadham’s gelding made a winning handicap debut at Fakenham on New Year’s Day when slamming Aficionado by 14 lengths off an opening makr of 117, and went on to finish a cracking 2 3/4 length third to Lightentertainment in a class 2 contest at Cheltenham off a revised rating of 128.

The six-year-old also posted a soloid effort when third to Unique De Cotte in a competitive similar grade affair at Ascot of 128, and is now able to race in this lower grade class 3 contest of 125.

That makes him well-treated on the pick of his form, and although well beaten on seasonal reapperance when fifth to Rock Of Leon who is favourite for this he shaped as if needing the run.

Minstrels Gallery made headway to chase the leaders three out but was then unable to sustain his effort and weakened to be beaten just over 16 lengths.

He now meets the winner, who had the benefit of a run going into the contest, on 8lb better terms and should be spot on to do himself justice.

Daily Sport recommended bet: 2pts win Minstrels Gallery (5/1 BetVictor, Stan James, William Hill – BOG)
