Lingfield Park will set out an eight-race all-weather programme on Wednesday, with racing scheduled from 11:55am through to 3:40pm.

At 12:25pm, a CLASS 6 CLASSIFIED STAKES over the same sprint trip will be staged for older horses. Seven runners are due to contest the £6,000 event, including Colors of Freedom, Commendation, Forest Gunner, and Global Effort, in what should prove a competitive and evenly matched affair.
