Its a wide-open race, but Lingfield is a tricky track where course experience and race positioning count for plenty. Southbank has been a little unlucky here on a few occasions and now gets the services of Rossa Ryan, one of the best riders around the track.
Southbank has been knocking on the door and looks capable of winning a race of this nature. He takes a while to hit top gear, but with very little obvious pace in the contest, I can\'t see anything getting too far ahead of him. Given his liking for the track and the jockey booking, 7/2 looks a fair price for a horse with a strong chance of going very close.
His representative here, LIMESTONE, really caught my eye on his latest start in Ireland. For a brief moment he looked as though he might be struggling for pace, but when asked to quicken he produced a turn of foot that was extremely impressive.
The step up to 1m6f is unknown territory for many in this field, but based on the way he finished off his race over 1m5f, I don\'t see the extra furlong being an issue at all. In fact, it may bring out even more improvement.
