UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

The booking of Serena Brotherton is a big positive to the chances of NAVARRA PRINCESS. She arrives in solid enough form, having placed at Yarmouth and Chelmsford on her last couple of outings, and can get her head in front for the second time in her career. Limerick Lord was unable to handle a quick turnaround when beaten at Southwell in April but is respected after a small break, while others to consider include Lord Murphy and Haraz.
Prediction : 1st Navarra Princess 2nd Limerick Lord 3rd Lord Murphy

BORN LEADER makes a fair amount of appeal on her handicap debut, having kept good company so far in her career, and an opening mark of 54 may prove to be a lenient one with improvement to come up in distance. Robeam appeared to benefit for stepping up to 1m6f at Redcar and could have more to offer, while Keith and Land Of Winter are both likely to take a step forward on what they have achieved to date.
Prediction : 1st Born Leader 2nd Robeam 3rd Keith

CRYSTAL TRIBE hasn't lived up to expectations since being well fancied for his racecourse debut at Newbury in a contest that worked out extremely well. He now makes his handicap debut and a pair of blinkers might just make the difference to the son of Dansili. Irish Art can improve from his return to action at Bath last month, while Fame N Fortune and Temujin complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Crystal Tribe 2nd Irish Art 3rd Fame N Fortune

OCASIO CORTEZ didn't seem to mind dropping in trip when third at Windsor last month, and could build on that lifetime-best performance in this slightly weaker contest for Richard Hannon. The two-year-old has finished behind some smart types in recent months, and makes greater appeal than Microscopic, who travelled nicely before fading at Redcar last time and drops in distance now. Newyorkstateofmind looks best of the newcomers on paper and could be one for the notebook going forward.
Prediction : 1st Ocasio Cortez 2nd Microscopic 3rd Newyorkstateofmind

FAIRY STORIES hacked up for Richard Fahey at Nottingham last Sunday and looks very difficult to oppose despite a 6lb penalty under talented apprentice Sean Davis. The youngster negates most of this extra weight with his claim, and the pair can combine to account for Society Star, who has shown potential in three novice outings ahead of this handicap bow. Chitra returned to winning ways at Salisbury when last seen and could have more to offer despite being on a career-high mark of 73.
Prediction : 1st Fairy Stories 2nd Society Star 3rd Chitra

ROYAL RESIDENCE could be primed to strike following two useful efforts so far this season and James Tate's Epaulette colt can build on his Ascot third off the same rating. Emily Goldfinch landed a useful handicap at Newmarket last time and a 4lb rise isn't the harshest of treatments providing she has suffered no ill-effects from her engagement at Brighton on Friday. Buridan was only beaten a neck at Windsor last month and has to be taken seriously representing Richard Hannon.
Prediction : 1st Royal Residence 2nd Emily Goldfinch 3rd Buridan

SASHENKA has finished second in all three career starts and the drop back to seven furlongs gives Sylvester Kirk's filly the chance to finally get off the mark having shown plenty of likeable qualities in defeat. Canford Dancer's best effort has come over this distance and is therefore another who may enjoy the switch back to this distance having tried further recently, while Nostrovia showed glimpses of ability when placing twice last season and is much better than she suggested on her reappearance.
Prediction : 1st Sashenka 2nd Nostrovia 3rd Canford Dancer
