Lingfield kicks off the New Year’s Eve celebrations with the highly anticipated Listed Quebec Stakes, alongside thrilling jump racing from Uttoxeter, all available for viewers.
Lingfield Feature Race: Quebec Stakes at 1.44 PM
Last year’s champion, Tyrrhenian Sea, returns to defend his title in the Listed Quebec Stakes (1.44 PM). Trained by Roger Varian, he performed admirably in the Churchill Stakes last month after a lengthy break and is poised to make a strong showing with Jack Mitchell riding.
Challenging him will be Royal Champion, previously trained by Varian, who boasts a victory in the Wolferton Stakes and a commendable second place in Australia’s Crystal Mile. Now under the guidance of Karl Burke, he’s a serious contender if he can recapture his best form.
Also in the running is Pride Of America, making a comeback after a wind operation, with hopes of leveraging his recent Newcastle performance for victory. Additional competitors include Auld Toon Loon, Fantasy Believer, and Lia Rose, rounding out the competitive field.
1.14 PM Race: Kylian in Form
In an exciting matchup at 1.14 PM, Kylian looks revitalized after the introduction of blinkers, having recently achieved a solid second place. This race, the Extra Winnings With BetUK Acca Club Handicap, presents a great opportunity for him to claim victory.
The Thames Boatman, despite a recent setback, has demonstrated strong form at Lingfield and is expected to bounce back. Additionally, Bedford Flyer, a multiple course winner, returns in good form and could challenge for the win.
Existent, though a challenging horse to follow lately, sits notably below his last winning mark and is aiming for a turnaround.
2.14 PM Handicap: Competitive Showdown
The Win £1M With BetMGM’s Golden Goals Handicap (2.14 PM) is set to be a competitive affair. Monsieur Beaulieu is the early favorite after an impressive second at Southwell and will be looking to build on that performance under the experienced Ross Coakley.
Zandita, a promising young talent with a debut win here, presents a strong threat following a brief layoff. Revolutionise, trained by Stuart Williams, is also in the mix, having performed well in his last outing and now dropping in grade.
