UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

RAKEMATIZ battled on gamely to get back up to win over 1m2f here last time and could appreciate this step up in trip as he bids to overcome a 3lb rise. It will be interesting to see if there is any money for John Butler's Coorg on his stable bow as he was a prolific winner for Chris Dwyer but has been off the track for 1150 days. Music Major is only up 3lb for scoring over track and trip from Gendarme last time and could also take a hand.
Prediction : 1st Rakematiz 2nd Coorg 3rd Music Major

Fields Of Athenry made a winning debut at Wolverhampton in November but he was held under a penalty at the same track in December and it is possible the same fate awaits James Tate's charge. MOHTARRIF caught the eye on debut at Chelmsford when keeping on for fourth under hands and heels. The experience gained is unlikely to have been lost on Marcus Tregoning's colt and he's expected to strike second time out. There could also be better to come from Moftris, who steps up from 7f.
Prediction : 1st Mohtarrif 2nd Fields Of Athenry 3rd Moftris

EXECUTIVE FORCE passed the post in second at Wolverhampton last weekend before being awarded the race in the stewards' room. A 2lb rise appears workable for Michael Wigham's progressive five-year-old, who is taken to rattle off his sixth victory from his last seven all-weather starts. Insurgence has been knocking on the door and may benefit from the addition of first-time cheekpieces, while Sha La La La Lee, a winner from Family Fortunes over C&D three weeks ago, could be a tactical danger to all again if granted another soft lead.
Prediction : 1st Executive Force 2nd Sha La La La Lee 3rd Family Fortunes

Royal Birth got a lovely split up the inner when landing a C&D handicap three weeks ago but he's drawn out in stall nine this time and is unlikely to have things falling quite so kindly. GRACIOUS JOHN finished three-parts of a length third behind the former in the same race but could feasibly reverse the form as he's now 3lb better off and has fared better than his reopposing foe on the draw front. Merhoob is pillar of consistency and has place claims, likewise Stone Of Destiny, a classy operator who recently picked up minor money in a valuable dash in Qatar.
Prediction : 1st Gracious John 2nd Stone Of Destiny 3rd Royal Birth

SUNDIATA went close in a novice contest over this trip at Wolverhampton last time and she could mount a bold bid now moving into handicap company off an opening mark of 63. Griggy returned a beaten favourite off this mark over 5f at Wolverhampton last month but he now debuts for John Butler and there could be better to come now stepping back up in distance. A big run from the dropped-in-trip Fox Happy would also come as no surprise as he failed to see out 7f at Kempton.
Prediction : 1st Sundiata 2nd Griggy 3rd Fox Happy

Tesorina was given an enterprising ride by Richard Kingscote over 1m4f here last month and could be tough to keep out of the frame if given another front-running masterclass. The suspicion is, however, she may be swamped in the closing stages this time. SUBLIMINAL is rated only 3lb higher than when knuckling down well to strike over track and trip recently and might be the one to be on. Caledonia Duchess can also finish on the premises.
Prediction : 1st Subliminal 2nd Tesorina 3rd Caledonia Duchess
