The July Longines World’s Best Racehorse Rankings are out, and there is a change at the top!

11/06/2026

at Sandown today, Friday, June 12, 2026, here is one horse per race based on available form, expert tips, and betting analysis [1.1.1, 1.2.1, 1.2.5].

| Time | Race | Selection |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **13:08** | British EBF Novice Stakes | **Gold Reef City** [1.1.2] |
| **13:38** | Chris Barnett Memorial Handicap (Div 1) | **Tan Rapido** [1.1.4] |
| **14:13** | Chris Barnett Memorial Handicap (Div 2) | **Betties Bay** [1.1.3] |
| **14:48** | British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes | **Pat's Cash** [1.2.1] |
| **15:23** | Molson Coors Handicap | **Galyx** [1.2.1] |
| **15:58** | Ministry of Sound Handicap | **Tambora** [1.2.5] |
| **16:35** | 3YO Only Handicap | **Plan C** [1.2.1] |
| **17:08** | Billy Ocean Handicap | **Fuzeyya** [1.1.3] |

# # # Betting Strategy Notes:

* **Conditions:** The track is officially "Good, Good to soft in places" [1.2.4]. This slightly softer ground at Sandown often rewards horses with proven form on such surfaces and those capable of handling the uphill finish [1.2.1, 1.2.4].
* **Expert Consensus:** **Pat's Cash** (14:48) is widely highlighted as a strong pick for the day, noted for his ability to handle the "cut" in the ground and his suitability for the finish at this track [1.2.1]. **Tan Rapido** (13:38) is also highly regarded as being well-handicapped to perform well today [1.1.4].

*Disclaimer: Horse racing is unpredictable. Please gamble responsibly.*

Newbury

---

# # # Race 1: 14:20 - Novice Stakes (6f 110y)

* **The Pick:** **Cloud Summit**
* **Jockey/Trainer:** Billy Loughnane / George Boughey
* **The Angle:** George Boughey's 2-year-olds have been firing on all cylinders lately. He teams up with the highly tactical Billy Loughnane on this 100,000gns yearling newcomer. With the William Haggas runner (*Al Qayed*) declared a non-runner, this looks like the perfect launching pad for a prominent, sharp debut.

# # # Race 2: 14:55 - Eddie Keogh Memorial Handicap (1m)

* **The Pick:** **Lahan Kingman**
* **Jockey/Trainer:** Billy Loughnane / Richard Hughes
* **The Angle:** This is where we look for massive value. He's coming in around an eye-catching big price but gets the first-time blinkers (*b1*) applied today. Richard Hughes excels at plotting handicap marks at this track, and booked Loughnane to extract that extra gear. If you want a more solid alternative, **Luminare** (Tom Marquand / William Haggas) is the standard tracker.

# # # Race 3: 15:30 - Ardonagh Group Handicap (7f)

* **The Pick:** **Ata Rangi**
* **Jockey/Trainer:** Kieran Shoemark / Ed Walker
* **The Angle:** Ed Walker has this 5-year-old in pristine condition, coming straight off a clinical win last time out. Shoemark knows exactly how to time a run on the straight track at Newbury.
* **Value Alternative:** Keep an eye on **Brian** at a decent price with David Probert riding for Stan Moore—he loves this track and sits on a very workable mark.

# # # Race 4: 16:05 - Tonight's Super Boost Handicap (6f)

* **The Pick:** **Wild Clary**
* **Jockey/Trainer:** Sean Levey / Richard Hannon
* **The Angle:** A thoroughly consistent 4-year-old sprinter who rarely runs a bad race ($132-423$ form). The Hannon yard targets these specific home-county turf meetings with precision, and Levey is excellent at getting turf sprinters organized early from the central stalls.

# # # Race 5: 16:40 - Fillies' Novice Stakes (1m 1f)

* **The Pick:** **Shady Dame**
* **Jockey/Trainer:** William Buick / John & Thady Gosden
* **The Angle:** This is the heavyweight jockey-trainer combo of the day. She showed clear potential on her debut at Newmarket last autumn before being thrown into Group 3 company a bit too soon. The Gosden yard has given her time to mature, and booked **William Buick** specifically for this seasonal return on softer ground.

# # # Race 6: 17:15 - White Horse International Handicap (1m 4f)

* **The Pick:** **Hard To Believe**
* **Jockey/Trainer:** Hector Crouch / Andrew Balding
* **The Angle:** Pure statistical suitability over the distance. He won a novice at Bath on turf and followed up beautifully on the all-weather in March. Andrew Balding’s stayers are notoriously tough, and Hector Crouch is one of the most reliable jockeys from the saddle when grinding out a finish over $1\frac{1}{2}$ miles on testing turf.

.KEMPTON

---

# # # **17:08 - 1m 8f Handicap**

* **The Best Pick:** **Further Measure** (Alfie Redman / Mike Murphy)
* **The Angle:** He loves this track and surface (Course & Distance winner). His Topspeed rating of 71 is the highest proven figure in this field. With Alfie Redman claiming a valuable 5lbs, he’s carrying a very dangerous racing weight against exposed stayers like Saratoga Gold.

# # # **17:40 - 2yo Fillies' Novice Stakes**

* **The Best Pick:** **Pequenita** (Oisin Murphy / Andrew Balding)
* **The Angle:** Oisin Murphy booked on an Andrew Balding newcomer at Kempton is always an automatic red alert. The dam had a high racing rating (RPR 111), meaning she has the raw genetic baseline to handle this sharp polytrack transition instantly.

# # # **18:10 - 3yo Maiden Stakes**

* **The Best Pick:** **Tribal Queen** (William Buick / Charlie Appleby)
* **The Angle:** Godolphin under lights at Kempton with Buick in the saddle is the ultimate high-efficiency booking. **Velvet Vega** (Oisin Murphy for Gosden) will push the market, but Buick’s mount has the tactical sharp speed advantage from a low draw (2).

# # # **18:40 - 1m Class 5 Handicap**

* **The Best Pick:** **Bold Suitor** (Georgia Dobie / Craig Benton)
* **The Angle:** (Note: *Silca Bay is a non-runner*). Bold Suitor won with plenty of grit at Lingfield six weeks ago. Georgia Dobie knows exactly how to pace a polytrack mile. He's got a sneaky-good turn of foot that fits Kempton's home straight perfectly.

# # # **19:10 - 7f Class 5 Handicap**

* **The Best Pick:** **Marengo Storm** (William Buick / Richard Hughes)
* **The Angle:** Massive jockey upgrade here. Buick taking the ride for Richard Hughes is the key indicator. This horse has tracking speed that hasn't fully dropped into the public eye yet, making it a major threat on the polytrack surface tonight.

# # # **19:40 - 7f Class 4 Handicap**

* **The Best Pick:** **Amazing Journey** (Saffie Osborne / Jamie Osborne)
* **The Angle:** Saffie Osborne is lethal on the all-weather, especially when executing late-pace timing. This horse is a massive NAP choice across the major daily tables today because the underlying speed figures point to a standard higher than Class 4.

# # # **20:10 - 1m 3f Class 5 Handicap**

* **The Best Pick:** **Club Class** (William Buick / James Fanshawe)
* **The Angle:** Another crucial Buick booking for a shrewd yard. Club Class has the natural stride profile to handle the tricky 11-furlong trip at Kempton. Drawn perfectly in stall 2 to sit right off the pace and strike.

# # # **20:40 - 1m 4f Class 6 Handicap**

* **The Best Pick:** **Imperial Cult** (Neil Callan / George Baker)
* **The Angle:** Dropping down into a Class 6 and getting a powerhouse pilot like Neil Callan in the saddle. Callan is masterful at forcing a true pace in late-night staying handicaps, which will expose the low-rated speed elements behind him.

Here is the definitive one-horse tactical selector for each of the eight races on today's Lingfield

---

# # # The Lingfield Value Sheet

| Race | Selection | Draw & Connections | The Tactical Leverage Angle |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **R1 (17:10)** 7f Class 6 | **Split Elevens** | Stall 3

Jack Callan (3) / J Butler | **Course & Distance Asset:** A proven C&D winner sitting on a highly workable mark. The 3lb apprentice claim combined with a low box gives him the ideal stall-to-rail pocket trip while the public over-backs Yehudi. |
| **R2 (17:40)** 5f Class 6 | **Style King** | Stall 6

S De Sousa / C A Dwyer | **First-Time Headgear:** Outfitted in **first-time blinkers** dropping back to a bare 5f trip. He possesses dynamic natural gate speed; De Sousa is the ultimate booking to aggressively bounce him out and claim the rail. |
| **R3 (18:10)** 1m 2f Class 3 | **Corallience** | Stall 3

Saffie Osborne / D Menuisier | **The Unexposed Unhook:** Bypassing the heavy public steam surrounding the Gosden and Beckett runners. Saffie Osborne takes the steering on a filly who gets a cozy low draw to track the pace effortlessly. |
| **R4 (18:40)** 1m 2f Class 5 | **Extraterrestrial** | Stall 5

William Buick / S Crisford | **Monstrous Jockey Switch:** An elite booking with William Buick stepping into the saddle for the Crisford yard. He holds superior tactical numbers on synthetic tracks and is primed to exploit any front-running duel. |
| **R5 (19:10)** 7f Class 5 | **Diamondinthedark** | Stall 4

Billy Loughnane / D M Loughnane | **Synthetic Return:** Back on an artificial surface under the red-hot Billy Loughnane. She is weighted to strike and has the tactical speed to sit right in the slipstream of the penalized favorite. |
| **R6 (19:40)** 6f 2yo Maiden | **Tricky Jenny** | Stall 8

Rossa Ryan / Jack Jones | **The Variance Play:** The clear structural alternative to the heavily favored Fire Thunder. Rossa Ryan booked for an operation that primes their juveniles smartly for synthetic debuts. |
| **R7 (20:10)** 6f 2yo Maiden | **Zigazig Ah** | Stall 6

Saffie Osborne / Charlie Clover | **Insider Selections:** Highlighted as a standout choice by sharp Newmarket tipsters this morning. Saffie Osborne takes the mount; represents massive leverage if there's late market backing. |
| **R8 (20:40)** 1m Class 6 | **Case Study** | Stall 6

Billy Loughnane / G Boughey | **The Ultimate Reset:** Plummeting down in grade to a Class 6 event while gaining **first-time cheekpieces**. Billy Loughnane is a critical tactical booking for a yard that hits heavily with first-time headgear switches. |

---

> **Pace & Track Note:** The Polytrack strip at Lingfield heavily favors tactical versatility. In the sprint events (Races 1, 2, 6, and 7), track the market movers closely 10 minutes before the off to confirm which runners are getting the strongest stable support on the sand.
