Lucky 15 tips with alan firkins

The penultimate day of racing in Britain before the short Christmas break takes place on Sunday and there are two meetings to enjoy, with jumps racing from Fakenham and Lingfield.

Fakenham gets underway first at 12.15 and their seven-race card is soon joined by Lingfield at 12:30. My Lucky15 selection for Sunday includes a couple of selections from each venue.

Fast Racing Results

12:15 Fakenham - Yanka Blue @ 9/2

The opener at Fakenham looks a nice opportunity for YANKA BLUE on debut for the John & Rhys Flint yard.

The Blue Bresil filly was 0-5 over hurdles for Alison Thorpe but ran some encouraging races, including when second in a maiden at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in November.

She made plenty of the running that day and held off all bar the winner, Avalon Beach, who pestered her throughout.

Back amongst her own sex now, following a change of scenery, this four-year-old can open her account under Robbie Dunne at the expense of Hello Sweety, who has passed up a couple of decent chances lately.

13:15 Fakenham - I Am The Moon @ 7/2

The Twiston-Davies clan team up with I AM THE MOON in this Queen Boudicca Series Qualifier Mares' Handicap Chase at Fakenham over 2m4f and she can go well with Sam riding for Nigel & Willy.

The Warwick novice hurdle winner acquitted herself quite well in some decent races last season, including the Grade 2 British EBF 'National Hunt' Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Newbury in March where she was fourth.

Physically she looks the type to do well over fences and the yard are in great fettle recently.

15:00 Lingfield - No Tackle @ 7/2

This is a rise in class for NO TACKLE, but the eight-year-old was really impressive when scoring over course and distance five weeks and may take it in his stride.

The Robbie Llewellyn-trained runner has been something of a mixed bag over fences, but he is now 2-3 at Lingfield having also won here over hurdles.

His wins have come on heavy/good ground and his jumping was a real asset last time. He's gone up 6lb for his troubles but if he's in the same mood it may not prevent another win for the bottom-weight.

15:30 Lingfield - Low Expectations @ 7/4

LOW EXPECTATIONS is on a roll for trainer Nick Gifford and can keep things ticking over with a fourth successive win.

He has obliged at Fontwell, Windsor and Plumpton since the start of November, rising from a mark of 83 to his current perch of 105 in doing so.

He's still only five and has shown much improved form this season, his second over hurdles.

He meets five rivals with a lack of strong form between them and this looks an excellent chance for Tabitha Worsley, who takes over in the saddle now.
