UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

NAPPING made it 2-4 on turf for Amy Murphy at Yarmouth eight days ago and looks poised to follow up under a 5lb penalty now returned to the all-weather. The six-year-old has been found a suitable opening and makes greater appeal than recent Chelmsford hero Billyoakes. Daring Guest has found just one too good on the last three occasions, while Papa Delta likes it here and performed well when second on the turf track at this venue three weeks ago.
Prediction : 1st Napping 2nd Billyoakes 3rd Daring Guest

This is a poor contest and it will be disappointing if GREEN DOOR isn't seriously competitive for Robert Cowell after he found an unexposed type too good over this course and distance 16 days ago. The veteran seemed to enjoy that return to handicap company, finishing two and a half lengths clear of the remainder, and a repeat would make him tough to stop now in a seller. Sir Hector has won here before and wears a hood, while Sylvia's Mother could be good enough for third spot.
Prediction : 1st Green Door 2nd Sir Hector 3rd Sylvias Mother

L'AGE D'OR finished third behind a filly now rated 97 on turf at Bath when last seen over a year ago, and the four-year-old looks handicapped to strike off an opening mark of 56 for trainer Robert Cowell. Unexposed compared to most of these, she might just get away with a lack of recent race fitness. Brogans Bay wasn't beaten far at 50-1 when second on Tapeta earlier this month, while the likes of Hurricane Alert and Archimedes are other names to respect.
Prediction : 1st LAge DOr 2nd Brogans Bay 3rd Archimedes

PENDO has been running consistently well of late, including here on turf when last seen, and the return to the all-weather at a course where he has placed on his last two visits can see him back to winning ways. Momentarily may have needed the run at Chepstow earlier in the month and the drop in distance will play to her strengths, while Tamerlane could appreciate a return to the all-weather based on his form in the winter.
Prediction : 1st Pendo 2nd Momentarily 3rd Tamerlane

LUNA PRINCESS turned in an improved performance when third over 1m at Carlisle last time and could step up on that performance now sporting first-time cheekpieces. Crazy Spin is rated 6lb higher than when scoring over this trip at Southwell on her penultimate outing and is feared most, while there could be a big run on the cards from Poetic Motion, who struck at Bath off 3lb lower on her penultimate outing.
Prediction : 1st Luna Princess 2nd Crazy Spin 3rd Poetic Motion

Indian Creak makes most appeal of those with previous experience to their name, based on his Windsor second earlier in the month, though the newcomers may be the ones to focus on here. There could be a big run on the cards from Top Class Angel, a 240,000-euro recruit to the Richard Hannon team, though narrow preference is for Godolphin representative CHEROKEE MIST, who changed hands for $500,000 as a yearling and should know his job first time out.
Prediction : 1st Cherokee Mist 2nd Top Class Angel 3rd Indian Creak

Mondain has failed to justify favouritism at Wolverhampton and Southwell the last twice but is seemingly thought capable of going well off this sort of mark and it would come as no surprise to see him figure. Nevertheless, it might be worth taking a chance on Andrew Balding's SAWASDEE, who is stepped up in trip and fitted with first-time cheekpieces on his handicap debut. Natsovia is rated 3lb higher than when striking at Wolverhampton in February and could also figure.
Prediction : 1st Sawasdee 2nd Mondain 3rd Natsovia
