Light Speed can chalk up his hat-trick in the BetUK. Home Of The Acca-Fenwa Handicap at Lingfield.

Trained by Andrew Balding, the Mehmas gelding has now won two of his three career starts, having put an initial sixth at Southwell in October well behind him.

Seven furlongs looked a bit on the short side first time up, but he clearly learnt plenty for the run, as he kept on well over that trip to score at the second time of asking before moving up to an extended mile.

Light Speed seemed to appreciate the extra distance as he won with a degree of authority that is perhaps not quite accounted for in his opening mark of 80.

The dam's side of his family is all stamina so another leap to 10 furlongs here should not be an issue.

Sea Me Dance found a new level upped to 14 furlongs and now she tackles two miles in the Boost Your Acca-Fenwa With BetUK Handicap.

She ran into some decent types on her two juvenile starts and has raced consistently over a mile and a half, but took another step forward at Wolverhampton last time when a convincing length winner.

Winner of two of her five hurdle spins, Anthony Honeyball sent her to Wincanton for her fencing bow but having cut out the early pace, she dropped away tamely and was pulled up, with the vet reporting she had lost a shoe.

It is perhaps best to put a line through that form and try again.
