UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

WITH APPROVAL returned to form when third at a lofty price at Brighton in April, and this course and distance winner is fancied to strike now 1lb below his last winning mark. Billie Beane performed well after a break at Kempton in January and could do so again now upped to a mile, while Arctic Flower is yet to win on an all-weather surface but shaped with encouragement here on Saturday when fourth.
Prediction : 1st With Approval 2nd Billie Beane 3rd Arctic Flower

Creek Harbour ran respectably under his inexperienced rider to finish third despite being keen at Salisbury last month, and although he should find this seller a bit easier, preference is for UPAVON. The drop in class and return to an all-weather surface should really help this nine-year-old, and the booking of Adam Kirby is a major positive. Penarth Pier is another who should find this test more to her liking and completes the list of likely contenders.
Prediction : 1st Upavon 2nd Creek Harbour 3rd Penarth Pier

Companion has a penalty to carry for her Yarmouth maiden success in April, though she failed to take a big step forward in Listed company at York a few weeks later and has a bit to prove just for now on all-weather debut over 6f. Love Love (third) took a step forward from her Salisbury debut at Windsor last time when just ahead of ROSADORA (fourth), but the latter might just be open to greater improvement. That was her first racecourse experience, and the 100,000gns yearling can take a leap forward for a trainer who thrives with such types.
Prediction : 1st Rosadora 2nd Love Love 3rd Companion

TRAIN TO GEORGIA made a pleasing start to his career when defying greenness to score at Lingfield back in March and, on that showing, appears capable of giving weight to the majority of his rivals. Al Battar was sixth on his racecourse bow at Kempton last December and can benefit from the application of cheekpieces, while recent Brighton winner Dudley's Boy and Better Than Ever complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Train To Georgia 2nd Al Battar 3rd Dudleys Boy

ASHAZURI landed this prize 12 months ago off a 2lb lower mark and arrives in excellent form having won two of her last three starts including at Sandown at the end of last month. She has Tyler Saunders' 7lb claim to aid her cause on this occasion and can prove too strong for Dashing Poet, second on her last couple of outings, and Be Thankful who sports a first-time hood and has the assistance of Jamie Spencer in the saddle.
Prediction : 1st Ashazuri 2nd Dashing Poet 3rd Be Thankful

AGENT BASTERFIELD bolted up by 13 lengths in a four-runner contest over a similar trip at Brighton last time and may be able to make all once more. Universal Order scored with plenty in hand in a novice contest at Bath last time and is unexposed over this longer trip. Natty Night has Silvestre De Sousa booked but needs to build on his latest effort at Windsor if he's to trouble the aforementioned pair.
Prediction : 1st Agent Basterfield 2nd Universal Order 3rd Natty Night

AGE OF WISDOM stayed on well to lead inside the final furlong over 2m at Goodwood last month and may be able to take a 4lb rise in his stride. General Zoff picked up minor money over 1m6f at Salisbury last time and could appreciate the return to this longer trip, while So Near So Farhh is interesting now reunited with Silvestre De Sousa, under whom he finished a head second off 2lb lower over 2m2f at Pontefract in April.
Prediction : 1st Age Of Wisdom 2nd General Zoff 3rd So Near So Farhh
