UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

ALBANITA shaped as though she would benefit from stepping up in distance on her handicap bow at Bath last Friday over 1m2f, which her pedigree also suggests being related to Moscato, a multiple winner over 2m for her handler. A pair of cheekpieces may also bring about some improvement. Oliver Hardy arrives having won his last two outings at Brighton and is capable of progressing further, while Arthur Pendragon merits respect on his course second a fortnight ago.
Prediction : 1st Albanita 2nd Oliver Hardy 3rd Arthur Pendragon

FIVE DIAMONDS didn't need to improve much to get off the mark at Yarmouth on her second start after finishing second on soft ground at Beverley. She remains a filly with the potential to go forward and the step up in trip is likely to suit. Aegeus is respected after an 81-day absence having not delivered on the promise of his debut second at Bath when third at Nottingham, while Wolf Prince and Sandyman are both capable of improving on what they have achieved so far.
Prediction : 1st Five Diamonds 2nd Aegeus 3rd Wolf Prince

JOHAN shaped with a fair amount of promise when fourth at Newmarket a fortnight ago and, in a contest that doesn't contain as much depth, he is taken to get off the mark at the second attempt. Rovaniemi cost 320,000gns at the sales and is a half-brother to Group 2-placed Fields Of Miracle, while Always Fearless will benefit from stepping back up in distance based on his third at Haydock two starts ago.
Prediction : 1st Johan 2nd Rovaniemi 3rd Always Fearless

SUSSEX SOLO won over this C&D last month and could follow up in what appears to be a winnable affair. The three-year-old remains open to plenty of improvement, and an aggressive ride could pay dividends despite a 4lb rise. Abuja was third on handicap debut here a fortnight ago and won't mind this first attempt at a mile, while Classic Star was a neck second at Sandown last month and looks capable of shedding his maiden tag soon.
Prediction : 1st Sussex Solo 2nd Classic Star 3rd Abuja

BARTAT makes plenty of appeal following her victory at Brighton earlier this week and the in-form youngster rates as the one to beat with handler Mick Channon operating at 29% on the turf at this venue this season. Even a 6lb penalty may not be enough to stop her. Come On Girl was beaten less than a length when third at Ffos Las earlier this month and is respected, while Foad and New Jack Swing could both benefit for the application of headgear.
Prediction : 1st Bartat 2nd Come On Girl 3rd Foad

MAGICAL RIDE has won three of his last four outings and is interesting dropping back to six furlongs having thrashed the opposition with a nine-length victory over seven furlongs here last time. The consistent course-and-distance winner Seprani is another who is respected as she returns to six furlongs. Peace Dreamer, who has made the podium the last twice, and Springbourne, who was third over track and trip on his debut for Bill Turner last time, are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Magical Ride 2nd Springbourne 3rd Seprani

KODIAK ATTACK appeared to enjoy the drop back to five furlongs when making the podium at Windsor last time and, having showed plenty of encouraging signs in his outings so far, makes plenty of appeal. Starchant ran well here on the all-weather last time and is respected, while Excelinthejungle makes some appeal on pedigree ahead of his racecourse introduction and Seamus Durack has located him a nice starting point.
Prediction : 1st Kodiak Attack 2nd Starchant 3rd Excelinthejungle
