Makin'yourmindup can show Lingfield fizz

Makin'yourmindup can come out on top in what will be a real test of stamina for the mybettingsites.com Surrey National Handicap Chase at Lingfield on Monday.

Pretty smart as a novice hurdler, where he was successful in Grade Two company, Paul Nicholls' charge was progressing quite nicely over fences before being off for 615 days after finishing second at Plumpton in March 2024.

His return at Chepstow last month was not without merit, taking fourth in a Welsh National trial won by Jubilee Express, who went off favourite for the main event back at the Monmouthshire circuit over Christmas.

Bound to be better for that run, he is back to his last winning mark and should love the ground and extended trip in what is a good prize for a Monday with over £15,000 to the winner.

My Mate Aj can get off the mark in the opening Free Race Replays On attheraces.com Open National Hunt Flat Race.

Quite well related and a £40,000 purchase for the Ben Pauling team, it looked for all the world like he would strike at the first time of asking at Southwell in November, where he came swinging into the home straight only to hang to his left, which did him no favours, and in the end he was third to Vango Can Go, beaten a whisker for second.

The winner has run well since in a good race at Ascot and hopefully My Mate Aj has learnt enough from the experience to land a knockout blow this time.

Your Love is the pick in the Unibet Supports Safer Gambling Fillies' Handicap at Kempton Park.

One of two starters for Richard Spencer alongside Shallow, the four-year-old has been in good heart of late, being a little unfortunate to bump into one on the day in the shape of Hunky Dory at Southwell over the Christmas period.

Apache Green was another to meet an in-form rival last time out and compensation awaits in the racingtv.com Handicap. His keeping-on effort suggests he will be winning soon off this current mark of 64.

Another to look out for on the Sunbury card is the Marco Botti-trained Space Bear in the Unibet More Extra Place Races Handicap.

Dors Delight ran way below par when last seen, but might be able to bounce back in the Midnite Are Upping The Betting Game Classified Stakes under the floodlights at Wolverhampton.

She had knocked on the door a few times before hitting the target in nice fashion on her penultimate start, so it is worth giving her another chance.

Things just need to fall right for Arantes Nascimento to find the back of the net in the Bet £10 Get £40 With BetMGM Handicap and add to the single win so far of his career, which does not really do him justice. - Press Association
