Lingfield Park Race Cards 8 December will present a nine-race programme on 8th December (Monday), with a mix of nursery handicaps, novice company, middle-distance contests, and competitive sprint handicaps. The meeting will open late in the morning and will run into mid-afternoon, offering a clear look at several developing horses who will shape the winter all-weather scene.
11:07 – Nursery Handicap Stakes (Class 5)
Prize Money: £7,100 Distance: 6f 1y
The opening race will feature a compact field in which Green Dame, Fermain, Akabusi, Space Bear, Davvy, Lord Harcourt, and Credit Forgedd It will all take their chance. With several of these still improving, the race will likely revolve around which runner will handle the early pace best in the short-straight test.
11:37 – EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (Class 5)
Prize Money: £6,300 Distance: 7f 2y
This novice event will bring together Five Cay, Klammer Express, Madjid, Marra Donna, Oracle Mission, Montu, and Fallacious Promise. The race will provide an opportunity for lightly raced types to progress, and the additional furlong will suit runners who will settle early and finish strongly.
12:07 – Guaranteed Handicap Stakes (Class 5)
Prize Money: £7,100 Distance: 1m 1y
The first of the mile-plus handicaps will see Port Road, Dark Rosa, Sheikh Raj, Ernie’s Valentine, H Key Lails, Virtue Patience, and Riyadh Gem compete. Several of these will be returning to familiar all-weather territory, and the contest will require a patient ride given the tight nature of the circuit.
12:37 – Next Generation Handicap Stakes (Class 5)
Prize Money: £7,100 Distance: 1m 7f 170y
The staying test of the afternoon will feature The Truant, Lunar Power, Young Endless, Potters Marmite, and Fascinating Shadow. The race will likely develop steadily before building late, and proven stamina will determine the outcome over nearly two miles.
1:07 – Midnite Handicap Stakes (Class 4)
Prize Money: £9,500 Distance: 6f 1y
The sprint handicap will include Coronado King, Sergeant Pep, Counsel, Giorgio M, Whenthedealinsdone, Balon d’Or, and Manhattan Chute. With several speed-forward horses declared, the pace will be strong throughout, favouring runners who will track the leaders instead of taking them on early.
1:37 – Bookie Handicap Stakes (Class 5)
Prize Money: £7,100 Distance: 1m 4f 1y
Middle-distance competitors Civil Law, Gifted Angel, Extra Beat, Meet Me In Meraki, Crackalackin, Brodie’s Boy, and Bobacious will line up for the sixth race. Form lines from recent all-weather races will provide useful clues, and those able to settle into an early rhythm will hold an advantage.
2:07 – Handicap Stakes (Class 6) (Division I)
Prize Money: £9,000 Distance: 1m 1y
The first division will see Villalobos, Dandy Khan, Volendam, Kessaar Power, Jackson Street, Whiskey Sunrise, and Pink Socks compete. This race will favour horses who will secure a position close to midfield, as traffic problems can often arise turning for home.
2:37 – Handicap Stakes (Class 6) (Division II)
Prize Money: £9,000 Distance: 1m 1y
Division II will host Mount Mogan, Bear To Dream, Kondratiev Wave, Zaltalla, First Encounter, Rainbow Sign, and Monks Mead. The field appears evenly matched, and a tightly bunched finish will be expected based on recent form.
3:07 – The Midnite: Handicap Stakes (Class 6)
Prize Money: £6,000 Distance: 1m 2f 1y
The concluding race will feature Tortured Soul, Enough Already, Ghaiyyath Park, Saturnalia, Amber Honey, Beta Reader, and Luisa. The extended ten-furlong trip will reward horses who will settle early before producing a measured run through the final furlong.
