Lancelot Du Luc went down by
half a length to Royal Birth in the Hever Sprint Stakes, over 5
furlongs, on his last visit to Lingfield in February and reopposes on
identical terms in the All-Weather Sprint Championship Conditions
Stakes (3.10) at the Surrey track on Friday. However, Royal Birth has
yet to win beyond the minimum trip and Lancelot Du Luc, who has an
enviable strike-rate on Polytrack, including two course and distance
wins, must have every chance of reversing the form over an extra
furlong. Dean Ivory’s 7-year-old ran on well under pressure to beat
Mythmaker, Boom The Groom, Gracious John and Pretend in a bunch
finish over course and distance in February and, while there’s
clearly not much too choose between the quintet on the form book, the
Shamardal gelding can confirm the form. Regular partner Robert
Winston takes the ride.
Selection: Lancelot Du Luc to
win (9/2 with William Hill)
