Tom Marquand is set to take on a full schedule at Lingfield, featuring prominently in the six-race card, with a key matchup between Nad Alshiba Green and I Love Dad highlighted in the upcoming Nursery Handicap at 3:50 PM.
### 3:50 PM Lingfield – Key Showdown Between I Love Dad and Nad Alshiba Green
The highly-anticipated race, the Free Digital Racecard At raceday-ready.com Nursery Handicap, will see in-form horses I Love Dad and Nad Alshiba Green battle for the top spot. I Love Dad recently showed notable improvement, finishing a close second to Rotation in a seller at Leicester. With his transition into handicaps for the first time, expectations are high for further development.
Meanwhile, Nad Alshiba Green made a stunning debut in handicaps last week, marking her first victory at Bath. If she can manage to perform despite a 6lb penalty under the guidance of Marquand, she is expected to be a strong contender.
Another horse to watch is Griselda, who also celebrated a last-time victory on her handicap debut at Pontefract. With the support of George Scott and Callum Shepherd, she poses a significant threat in this competitive field.
### 3:20 PM Lingfield – Nala Star Aiming for First Victory
Ollie Sangster’s Nala Star will strive to break her maiden status in the Get Raceday Ready/EBF Restricted Novice Stakes at 3:20 PM. The daughter of Cotai Glory has placed as a runner-up in all her three previous outings and is expected to set the standard once again as she shortens in distance with Rob Hornby at the reins.
Desdemona, trained by Tom Clover, will be a key competitor following two strong performances this season. With a tongue-tie added and the experienced Billy Loughnane in the saddle, she will be looking to turn her near misses into victory.
Kinetic Force will also be an intriguing contender, having won on debut at the same course and distance before stepping up into Listed company last time out. This race marks a rematch with Nala Star, where they previously competed against each other.
### 2:20 PM Lingfield – Etretat and Miss Dandylion in Contention
In the Tips For Every Race At raceday-ready.com Handicap at 2:20 PM, both Etretat and Miss Dandylion are expected to perform well. Although Jamie and Saffie Osborne are focusing on the Racing League in Yarmouth, they are backing Miss Dandylion, a lightly raced three-year-old primed for a strong showing after three solid outings in novice races.
Etretat, trained by Charlie Johnston, has been consistent in performance lately but faced disappointment as a beaten favorite off a 1lb lower mark at Carlisle. This gelding is now seen as a potential each-way player in today’s lineup.
Gracious Leader makes the shortlist as he embarks on his handicap debut after 83 days off the track, following a gelding operation.
