Lingfield provides a decent jumping test, mainly of stamina as it gets very soft in winter months, and unfortunately has proved un-raceable on a few occasions hence many abandonments in recent times. When the going is good however, it’s a lovely left-handed, fair track with plenty of time to play your hand up the home straight. As it’s fairly flat, being handy turning for home is quite important. The bumper races are mainly now run on the All-Weather track which wouldn’t particularly suit traditionally NH bred sorts, as they tend to turn into speed orientated contests.
