Harlington Aims for Fourth Consecutive Win at Lingfield
Monday's racing schedule is packed, with All-Weather events taking place at Lingfield and Newcastle, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The final race at Lingfield will feature a field of 10 in the Download The At The Races App Handicap, with Charlie Clover's Harlington seeking to achieve a four-timer off a personal best mark. Following a runner-up finish on his stable debut in January, Harlington has won his last three starts, including a victory over the same course and distance, and will attempt to secure his fourth consecutive win this afternoon. The addition of jockey Tom Marquand, who will ride Harlington for the first time, further enhances the five-year-old's chances.
