@AWChamps Robin Hoods Bay returns in first Fast-Track Qualifier of 2014

Robin Hoods Bay is among 19 entries for the £19,000 Ladbrokes Conditions Stakes (2.35pm) over a mile at Lingfield Park on Saturday, January 11, the second of three Fast-Track Qualifiers for the £150,000 Ladbrokes Mile over the same course and distance on All-Weather Championships Finals Day, Good Friday, April 18.

The Ed Vaughan-trained six-year-old enjoyed a fruitful 2013, winning twice on Polytrack before chasing home Farraaj in the 10-furlong, Group Three Winter Derby at Lingfield Park in March.

He also captured a valuable handicap at Haydock Park over the same trip in August, but has not been seen since finishing a respectable sixth to Prince Bishop in the Group Three September Stakes on Polytrack at Kempton Park on September 7.

Vaughan revealed: "I would imagine Robin Hoods Bay will run at Lingfield on Saturday. He has had a little niggle since his last run and I would be anxious to run him because I think he needs to get a run under his belt.

"A mile will probably be a little bit on the sharp side but it looks like the right race to start him off. He goes well fresh and is a horse who really comes on from one bit of work to another.

"I haven't been able to get the amount of work into him that I normally would, but we will be aiming him at the Winter Derby (Coral App Download From The App Store Winter Derby, £100,000, March 22, 10f) and Finals Day, so it will be good to get him back up to race speed."

The entries also include South American Group One runner-up Edu Querido (Marco Bott), recent course and distance winner Galician (Mark Johnston), placed in three Listed contests during the All-Weather Championships, and Royal Hunt Cup fourth Don't Call Me (David Nicholls).

Other notable entries include the consistent Chookie Royale (Keith Dalgleish), Polytrack specialist Grey Mirage (Marco Botti)and seven-time Southwell victor Dubai Hills (Bryan Smart).

The Ladbrokes Conditions Stakes is the sixth Fast-Track Qualifier of the All-Weather Championships.

Lingfield Park's seven-race card on Saturday gets underway at 12.15pm and concludes at 3.45pm.
