Nap of the Day: Fantasmic to put on a show at Lingfield

It's to Lingfield I go on Nap of the Day duty on Tuesday, attracted by a twice-raced filly going the right way. She can strike at the third attempt.

I make In A Hurry a vulnerable favourite for the 15:10 Lingfield on Tuesday.

David O'Meara's three-year-old heads the market for the 1m1f fillies' maiden following a narrow defeat at Ayr last month on her comeback from 305 days on the sidelines.

However, that form looks modest at best. The winner has since finished last of eight, beaten 24 lengths, off an opening mark of 74 in a handicap at Haydock, while not a single one of the other 12 runners have tasted victory in a combined 25 races.

So, I'm very keen to take her on at current prices.

Life Of Rosie is interesting. Ollie Sangster's filly improved for every run last season, culminating in an admittedly distant second to 103-rated Betfred Oaks hopeful Falakeyah, and ought to improve significantly for her reappearance at Windsor just eight days ago.

However, it's Jack Jones' FANTASMIC I like most.

The daughter of Time Test, out of a Group 2-winning mare, made her debut on the all-weather at Lingfield back in March, finishing third of nine, over seven lengths off the pace. A couple of months later, she occupied the same position in a classier affair on grass at Goodwood.

Relative to Tuesday's assignment, that's a strong piece of form. The winner looks a nice type for the powerful William Haggas yard while the runner-up, sent off 5/6f, had already earned a mark of 78. That trio were over three-and-a-half lengths clear of the rest of the field.

A replication of that effort would probably be enough for her to be competitive in this company, but she also has potential to improve substantially.

Not only is it just her third start, but she showed signs of greenness in Chichester and didn't enjoy the clearest of passages through the race. She was doing all her best work at the finish, suggesting the slight step up in trip will suit too.

Adding further optimism is the fact she has the excellent Rossa Ryan taking over in the saddle. For me, he's as good as any jockey on these shores and his presence can only be viewed as a positive.

All that considered, I think Fantasmic is the standout bet on Tuesday.
