Halimede (IRE) won the 18:40 Lingfield (AW) at SP 1.53. Ridden by Luke Morris. Trained by Sir Mark Prescott Bt.
No — the AI top pick (Parc Dosne) finished 6.
Top finishers: 1. Halimede (IRE) (1.53), 2. V Power (GB) (11.00), 3. Shopaholic (GB) (8.50).
The winning time was 2m 44.56s.
Halimede sits three pounds behind the top-rated Darkest Red on our figures, but it is a progressive profile that tips the balance in her favour over this 13-furlong Lingfield trip, suggesting there is more to come. Darkest Red represents the most significant threat at the head of the ratings, with V Power and Shopaholic also capable of making their presence felt in what looks a competitive heat at this level. The low confidence reflects how closely matched this field is, and any one of those three dangers could overturn the verdict on the day. **Halimede** is our selection.
