UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

SAVITAR did well to finish second after blowing the start over 6f at Goodwood last month and should appreciate this step up in trip returned to the all-weather. The four-year-old will have entered a few notebooks on that occasion and could take some beating off an unchanged mark of 61. Kendergarten Kop has performed well in both starts so far this season and now wears first-time cheekpieces, while The Warrior doesn't win as often as he should but is 10lb below his last successful mark.
Prediction : 1st Savitar 2nd Kendergarten Kop 3rd The Warrior

CAPTAIN MARMALADE often starts slowly but he should appreciate this step up in trip after making up a few lengths in the final furlong over 1m here 46 days ago. The seven-year-old doesn't have too many miles on the clock in the last 12 months or so and could be worth following at this level. Hi There Silver struck at Kempton in April before a creditable third at Brighton a few weeks later. Prerogative can collect yet another bronze medal.
Prediction : 1st Captain Marmalade 2nd Hi There Silver 3rd Prerogative

DISTANT CHIMES made his seasonal reappearance a winning one at Wolverhampton seven days ago and it is no surprise to see connections get their charge back out quickly under a 5lb penalty. The four-year-old landed a bit of a gamble on that occasion and could still have plenty in hand for this shrewd yard. Ambling was a shade disappointing at Newbury last time but may bounce back, while Sawasdee is slowly edging towards a first success but still requires more.
Prediction : 1st Distant Chimes 2nd Ambling 3rd Sawasdee

NKOSIKAZI has gone back in the right direction in two outings for William Haggas, finishing second on both occasions, and she is capable of making it third time lucky for the Newmarket handler. Mutaraffa was disappointing when last of seven on his handicap bow at Haydock earlier in the month, but is unbeaten in two course appearances and has to enter calculations. Chester winner Aces cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Nkosikazi 2nd Mutaraffa 3rd Aces

SIR ARTHUR DAYNE posted his best effort to date when third at Epsom last time and the booking of Silvestre De Sousa, combined with the application of cheekpieces, could see him take the step forward required to land the spoils. Fashion Free placed on her handicap bow over 6f at Pontefract and on the evidence of that performance, is likely to be suited by stepping back up in distance. Constanzia also merits respect on her Chelmsford success last month.
Prediction : 1st Sir Arthur Dayne 2nd Fashion Free 3rd Constanzia

Little Bird merits respect having got off the mark at Doncaster last month, but that form is not the strongest and she could be vulnerable under a penalty. With that in mind, preference is for THE CITY'S PHANTOM, who displayed plenty of promise on his debut in a much stronger race than this at Newmarket. If he can improve for that experience then the son of Free Eagle should be hard to beat. Sweet Sixteen has a similar profile to the selection and she completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st The Citys Phantom 2nd Sweet Sixteen 3rd Little Bird

It is very hard to oppose BETSEY TROTTER, who was an easy five-length winner at Catterick last week and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to stop her from taking this contest as well. Molly's Game put in an encouraging effort at Leicester last month and she could prove to be the main threat, while Mrs Worthington, sporting first-time cheekpieces, is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Betsey Trotter 2nd Mollys Game 3rd Mrs Worthington
