Vow to silence rivals

The Derby and Oaks Trials at Lingfield this afternoon will be run on the all weather track and that appears to have been quite well received.

The colts’ race has a field of eight runners but the drawback is that is appears short on real quality and is unlikely to have any real impact on the Epsom Derby market.

The fillies’ race, on the other hand, has attracted a field of nine runners — a number of which are really interesting sorts — and it has the potential to provide real pointers to the Epsom Oaks.
