Lingfield Race 3

William Hill Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap (Gbbplus Race)

Stake: $89,667

The progressive CANDYMAN STAN (4) returned in 2025 with winning form running 5L clear in a lower graded 2400m handicap at Brighton a month ago. Serious player. POWER OF DESTINY (2) showed plenty of ability two outings back finishing a close third in this grade tackling the 2000m Winter Oaks Fillies Handicap here (AW). Rates highly. VICE PRESIDENT (3) showed potential for Aidan O'Brien last year including a 2.5L victory contesting a 2000m maiden at Leopardstown (Ireland). Shortlist down in trip. KING'S CODE (1) produced a 7L win among this company two starts back over 2000m at Pontefract. Not to be discounted.

Second run back. First-up after seven months favourite; scored a big 5 len win at Brighton April 12 over 2400m defeating Annexation with 61kg at $2.60. Previously second-up 3rd of 7 at Kempton Park All Weather on August 21 over 2400m, 6 len behind Loving Look with 58.5kg at $2. Big chance to make it back-to-back wins. Can get the job done again.
