All-Weather finals day at Lingfield: confirmed runners and riders
The John Gosden-trained Wissahickon will be the headline act as the final fields were confirmed for Lingfield's All-Weather Championships finals day on Good Friday.
The seven-race card has events across a wide range of divisions and Gosden's four-year-old has been the star name throughout the winter, with three victories at the course, including an impressive win in the Winter Derby.
He is a general 2-5 favourite for the Easter Classic and will face seven rivals including Matterhorn, Master The World and last season's winner Victory Bond.
Star sprinter Kachy, trained by Tom Dascombe and winner of his last two starts, also features on the card in the Sprint final.
The Mile final has attracted a quality line-up with Group 2-winning juvenile Cardsharp taking on ten rivals. Oh This Is Us, Keyser Soze and Straight Right stand out in opposition.
Three horses are vying for favouritism in the three-year-old final, a race won by smart sorts Corinthia Knight and Second Thought in recent years. Charming Kid, third in last season's July Stakes, runs for Richard Fahey and takes on Deep Intrigue and French challenger Pizzicato.
Kachy has been the best-backed horse according to Betway, one of the meeting's three sponsors, and punters are already lining up accumulators with Wissahickon and Amade.
Betway’s Alan Alger said: “Ante-post interest has largely focused around three short-priced favourites. Kachy, who has been the best backed of the three in the Sprint, Wissahickon in the Easter Classic, and Amade in the Marathon have been included in plenty of multiples.
“Heavenly Holly has attracted plenty of each-way support in the Fillies and Mares and is into 6-1 from 15-2, while Matterhorn and Master The World have been popular each-way plays in the Easter Classic.”
