Zuba to shine at Lingfield

Max can win for Johnston team

14:15 Haydock – Back Themaxwecan @ [5.2]

Trainer Mark Johnston has got into the groove immediately upon the return of racing and I’ll be rowing in with the Middleham yard in this cracking staying handicap.

The bet is Themaxwecan at around [4.5], and he can pick up where he left off last season. Initially priced up at around [6.0] on the Exchange, he was holding up well before midnight on Sunday with support for the runner.

Handicap wins at Goodwood at Ascot last term highlighted his staying ability at the business end of races, and the 2m that he faces today is his best trip.

Hopefully the ground dries up too, as a sounder surface clearly suits.

Zuba can add to his all-weather tally at Lingfield

19:20 Lingfield – Back Zuba @ [7.0]

Desert Caravan is likely to go off a short price favourite for this 1m4f handicap, but I tend to steer away from horses that are chalked up at [2.30].

Backing Zuba at [7.0] makes far more appeal, especially with a return to the all-weather.

He looks a better horse on artificial surfaces and proved himself in the 0-85 grade last term with an all-the-way success at Kempton. His draw isn’t idea for a repeat of the tactics, but it could be worth considering using his double figure price to use as a back-to-lay bet if he bounces out.

He’s bred to be a better horse than 79, and is well up to this level considering he has competed in some stronger races.
