3.00 Lingfield I'm backing HEAD AND HEART (3m5f sure to suit can defy penalty and grade hike...in the mix) and SILVER IN DISGUISE (I was at Perth last year when SILVER should have won but nearly lost the Jock at the 2nd last...shaped a bit better at Donny last time still looked like needed that run) 5/1 and 11/1
The second race at Lingfield (14:25), a Class-4 Novices' Hurdle over 2m on the expected soft ground (raining atm in the Lingfield area), gives the promising Sea The Moon gelding, Yellow Star, a decent chance to open his account.Trainer has two in the race, so hopefully have not picked the wrong one! Fair performer on the Flat, and ran well in his debut at Kempton 31-days ago to finish third. Niall Houlihan rides for the Gary Moore stable. 11/4 best price, in most places, on both the ATR and Oddschecker sites at time of writing.

Phew, that was a close one, but Yellow Star stuck it out gamely to win at 13/8 SP. Counted jockey Niall Houlihan used the whip 6-times, just one under the maximum 7 allowed in NH jump racing. Correction welcomed if I have got this wrong in any way. Thanks.
