Lingfield Race 3 - Midnite: Built For 2026 Not 2006 Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
MOONSHINE (5) is back after a break of six-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff finishing second providing her latest appearance at Haydock Park. Rates highly. NUMERO VINGT (1) managed to break through for his maiden win over 1200m at Chelmsford last time. Lightly raced and with more to offer is worth including. Two-start maiden SOUTHERN WARRIOR (3) placed on debut then could only manage fifth last start at Southwell. Among the chances. MAYFLYER (6) turned in a much better performance making her second appearance last time out when 3L from the winner in fourth at Wolverhampton. Open to further improvement.
