4 minutes Each of the six legs of Lingfield’s Placepot features a well-supported favourite but we’re on the lookout for some potential upsets
There are four race meetings taking place on Tuesday with horse racing getting underway at Southwell at 2:15 whilst we also have cards at Leicester, Wolverhampton and Lingfield Park. The Tote Placepot is one of the most popular horse racing bets available and Tuesday’s racing offers some extremely generous pools. Whilst the cards at Southwell, Leicester and Wolverhampton have £25,000 up for grabs, we’re going to focus our attention on the night meeting at Lingfield Park where the Placepot pool stands at a huge £50,000.
Each of the six legs of Lingfield’s Placepot features a well-supported favourite but we’re on the lookout for some potential upsets. As we oppose each race favourite, below you’ll find our Lingfield Park Placepot picks.

LUNAR SHADOW - 5/1
LUNAR SHADOW finished a solid second in a handicap at Southwell back in March. A two-time C&D winner that boasts superb AW form, especially at Lingfield. Will offer a strong start to Tuesday’s Placepot.
Leg 2 - 6:45

MONOMYTH - 14/1
Al Qudra is the odds-on favourite to win a race with several first time runners. With so many unknowns in the race we’re opting for a horse we’ve seen once before. MONOMYTH looked incredibly green on debut at Ascot last month but the Dark Angel colt will certainly be better for that run under in-form jockey Kevin Scott. A big price at 14/1 but will undoubtedly shorten throughout the afternoon and looks more than capable of placing in the first three.

STAR OF LADY M - 9/2
Oisin Murphy rides C&D winner STAR OF LADY M in the third leg of our Placepot and although Leg 3 only pays for the first two places, we’re confident that she’ll be right in contention. Flopped on the turf last month but has excellent AW form at Lingfield, boasting figures of 3211 over C&D. 2/2 under Oisin Murphy with both wins coming over track and trip.
Leg 4 - 7:45

QUEEN’S GUARD - 11/4
The second of two races only paying out for the top two spots but we’re confident that race favourite Kodiac Thriller will be beaten here. Seems to have reached his limitations and we’re happy to take him on with the Michael Bell-trained QUEEN’S GUARD. Only third on her handicap debut at Newcastle last month but will appreciate the step up to 6f on Tuesday. The booking of jockey James Doyle is a big plus.
Leg 5 - 8:15

BLACKLION - 3/1
BLACKLION has a first run out for new trainer George Baker on Tuesday and could build on last month’s win over 7f at Kempton. One of only two horses in the race to have won at this distance and quite simply, there are not three better horses confirmed for this race.
Leg 6 - 8:45

FOINIX - 9/2
Camacho Man is the stand-out pick in the final race of the evening. More than capable of claiming a quickfire double but under a penalty we’re happy to take him on. Laurentia is a danger having won at Lingfield over 1m2f last month but there remains stamina concerns over her and preference is for FOINIX. The four-year-old has been running over further than Tuesday’s trip this year but the step back may be what’s needed for him to end his 13-race losing streak. Oisin Murphy booked to ride.
