Lingfield Race 5 - BetMGM Supports Safer Gambling Restricted Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
THUNDERHOOF (4) Placed 3rd last time at Southwell and was on debut last time. Has been racing in stronger company. Every chance today. SCHEFFLER (3) First appearance at the races 3yo by Star Man for trainer Richard G Hughes & England Hughes and can find a nice position from the draw. Watch for a sign in the market. MONTAGUE MENACE (2) Racing fresh today after a break. Weakened to finish 9th last start at Nottingham. Can make a comeback. Can go through the gears. Worth consideration. STELLA LUCENTE (5) Back after a 29 week break. Finished strongly when 2nd beaten by 1/2L last start at this track and having second race start. Minor claims.

Resumes from a spell of 26 weeks. At $5.50 faded to finish 8th last start at Newcastle but was a debutant last start. Will be positive in the run early. This will be a test.

First up from a spell. Was $5.50 and couldn't maintain the pace when 9th last start at Nottingham on a heavy rated track. Can make a comeback. Should not be left out of your thoughts.

Star Man 3yo trained by Richard G Hughes & England Hughes on debut and has a good draw. Betting is the best guide.

Racing fresh after a 29 week break. Caught the eye when 2nd last start at the track and fitter for debut run. Respect the betting.

Resuming after a break. At $67.00 struggled with the pace when 9th last run at Southwell but carrying less weight this time. Hard to see this being good enough.
