Lingfield Placepot picks: Richard Birch gives you his all-weather perm

Angel’s Whisper, a five-time winner, should make a bold bid to add to her tally in division one of Lingfield’s mile handicap (1.00), the opening leg of the Placepot.

An impressive Newmarket scorer last month, the topweight has won off similar marks, and can prove too strong for the well-treated Mr Tyrrell.

Last-time-out winners George Morland and Mighty Mind look the pair to focus on in division two (1.35), while Khamsin Lady appeals in the mile maiden (2.10).

Lucy Wadham’s filly ran a blinder to chase home the 87-rated Sea Tsarina over course-and-distance and should go one better now.

Yimou’s fall to a highly attractive mark has coincided with his stable hitting top form, and he should prove hard to beat from stall two in the 6f handicap (2.45).

Princeville and Thunder Ball, who is partnered by the promising 7lb claimer Mohammed Tabti, stand out in the nursery (3.20), while Saxon Village takes the eye off an opening mark of 65 in the 5f handicap (3.55).

Street Parade, the epitome of consistency this summer, should also be included following two good efforts at Brighton last month.
