UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Dashing Poet kept on at the one pace in the finish when fourth over 1m at Leicester last time and is banking on this step up in trip sparking some improvement. Narrow preference is for MULLARKEY, who was stripped of his victory by the stewards at Leicester (later placed second behind The Lords Walk) but is proven over the trip and expected to remain competitive off 4lb higher. Affluence was fourth behind the selection last time but has place claims nevertheless.
Prediction : 1st Mullarkey 2nd Dashing Poet 3rd Affluence

FRANKELLINA needed every yard of the 1m trip when making a winning debut at Yarmouth in October and is expected to relish this stiffer test as she begins her three-year-old campaign. The Frankel filly is out of a 1m4f winner and is expected to continue progressing for William Haggas. Anapurna is considered the pick of John Gosden's duo after breaking her duck impressively here on the all-weather in January. Tauteke could also show up well for a stable who have started the new campaign brightly.
Prediction : 1st Frankellina 2nd Anapurna 3rd Tauteke

CAP FRANCAIS was sweating and became coltish in the preliminaries prior to finishing a close second in Listed company at Epsom recently. He didn't seem totally at ease on the track either, but if his mind is focussed on the job in hand on this occasion, Ed Walker's charge could improve for this step up in trip. Eagles By Day left a favourable impression when running away with a Salisbury maiden last month and continues to improve, while Ballydoyle representative Anthony Van Dyck, who was Group 1-placed last term, is bred to relish this stiffer test, being a son of Galileo, and could also figure.
Prediction : 1st Cap Francais 2nd Anthony Van Dyck 3rd Eagles By Day

OI THE CLUBB OI'S enjoyed a decent campaign over timber throughout the winter, despite not getting his head in front in four outings, and appeals as being well handicapped back on the Flat. The step up in distance also looks favourable with his sire, Champs Elysees, having a good record with horses finding improvement for a stiffer test of stamina. Charles Kingsley is open to progression in handicaps having finished second at Hamilton last Sunday, while Hollywood Road is resected on the form of his two runs this campaign.
Prediction : 1st Oi The Clubb Ois 2nd Charles Kingsley 3rd Hollywood Road

PRETTY BABY progressed nicely throughout 2018 and ended her season with victory in this grade at Goodwood in August. She remains open to further progression on her seventh career outing and can account for Dancing Star, who finished second behind her at Goodwood before winning a Group 3 at Doncaster when getting the better of Eirene, and French raider Devant.
Prediction : 1st Pretty Baby 2nd Dancing Star 3rd Devant

WAR GLORY has fallen to a favourable mark of 90 and looks set to enjoy this drop in class now under Ryan Moore for the first time since last July. Only beaten five and a quarter lengths by Lincoln winner Auxerre last autumn, the six-year-old is fairly handicapped on that form and is worth a chance in an open race. Salt Whistle Bay has a course win to his name on soft ground and is handily drawn in stall one, while Here's Two won on the all-weather track at this venue last month and is also taken seriously.
Prediction : 1st War Glory 2nd Salt Whistle Bay 3rd Heres Two

Alhakmah did very little wrong when finding one too good at Salisbury earlier this month but might be seen to better effect over a mile, while newcomer Hassaad is related to Group 1-winning sprinter Kingsgate Native and won't be lacking for pace. TAPISSERIE was second to a potentially smart type at Doncaster on debut two weeks ago and this 130,000gns filly is fancied to take a big step forward. She was slowly away on Town Moor but a better start can see her shed the maiden tag.
Prediction : 1st Tapisserie 2nd Alhakmah 3rd Hassaad
