Directory drops back in trip at Lingfield
Friday, June 26, 2020
DIRECTORY returns to the all weather and drops back to 7 furlongs at Lingfield tomorrow evening. He ran very well there first time out after the lockdown over a mile and we then thought we would take advantage of his lower handicap on the turf and ran him at Pontefract. The ground was quicker than we had hoped for and he clearly didn't like it hence the return to the all weather. Dougie Costello rode him at Pontefract and he suggested dropping him back to 7 furlongs and this was the only suitable race for him. Shane Kelly is back in the saddle tomorrow and DIRECTORY is drawn 10 of the 11 runners. He seems to have come out of his last run well so we are hoping for the best.
