UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

GOLDEN NECTAR has been found a good opening in this handicap and, with improvement expected following a decent effort at Kempton after a 217-day break, it would come as no surprise if she were to get back to winning ways. Cheerfilly warrants respect debuting for Archie Watson, but the main danger looks to be Dashing Poet, who has held her form well since winning at Southwell in December.
Prediction : 1st Golden Nectar 2nd Dashing Poet 3rd Cheerfilly

On the basis that those boasting racecourse experience haven't exactly set the world alight thus far, OSHO wouldn't have to be a superstar to win this novice heat on debut and he makes plenty of appeal on pedigree. Representing a trainer no stranger to getting one ready first time up, he gets the nod ahead of Train To Georgia and Dame Freya Stark, who lines up in receipt of weight against the boys and has had a run at Ayr.
Prediction : 1st Osho 2nd Train To Georgia 3rd Dame Freya Stark

LOYALTY comes out best at the weights in this claimer and the in-form veteran is going to be tough to stop judged on recent form. A C&D winner and five-time scorer at the track, he has won two of his last three and is the highest rated on 86. The son of Medicean would have to give the likes of Unforgiving Minute (85) and Upavon (84) weight if this were a handicap and boasts sound claims lining up in receipt of 5lb and 2lb respectively from those rivals.
Prediction : 1st Loyalty 2nd Unforgiving Minute 3rd Upavon

WARNING FIRE displayed promise in all three starts as a juvenile and the daughter of Shamardal could be hard to beat on her handicap debut off a mark of 70. The progressive Distant Mirage is likely to prove to be the biggest danger after her victory at Kempton last month, while Swiss Pride is another to note having been successful over C&D just under two weeks ago.
Prediction : 1st Warning Fire 2nd Distant Mirage 3rd Swiss Pride

Petite Jack bounced back to form when first past the post (subsequently demoted to second) over C&D last month and another good run can be expected from him. That said, the preference is for REVEREND JACOBS, who did not appear to take to hurdling but his previous form on the Flat suggests that he can win a race of this nature. Others to note are Eddystone Rock, Fearsome and Fire Fighting.
Prediction : 1st Reverend Jacobs 2nd Petite Jack 3rd Fearsome

Cirque Royal has to be given the utmost respect following his victory at Chelmsford last month but the 7lb penalty that he has to carry for that success leaves him vulnerable today. With that in mind, the preference is for HEAVENLY TALE, who displayed plenty of promise when finishing second over 1m2f on her debut and she should only improve for that experience. Message is from an outstanding family that traces back to the great Urban Sea and he has to be noted on his first start.
Prediction : 1st Heavenly Tale 2nd Cirque Royal 3rd Message
