UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

STEEL HELMET is in good form having won two of his last four and shaped last time as though he could have more to offer over this 2m distance. The switch to Polytrack isn't expected to deter the five-year-old, who makes his stable debut for William Bethell, and he can prove too strong for Wolverhampton runner-up Carraigin Aonair. Beechwood James is unexposed after just three career starts and warrants a second glance on handicap debut off 53.
Prediction : 1st Steel Helmet 2nd Carraigin Aonair 3rd Beechwood James

COOL SPHERE was deemed good enough to run in the Group 3 Molecomb at Goodwood last month and could make it sixth time lucky for Robert Cowell. Beaten at short odds when second at Windsor four weeks ago, he is bred to appreciate a synthetic surface and won't get too many better chances to shed the maiden tag. Stablemate Momentum Swing is related to some fast types and could make an impact on debut, while 100,000gns yearling Lady Tati is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Cool Sphere 2nd Lady Tati 3rd Momentum Swing

FAIRY FAST took a step in the right direction for rookie handler George Boughey when second at Ripon eight days ago and could claim a first success since May. The versatile three-year-old is probably weighted to her best, but this is a modest contest and she should at least be involved in the closing stages. Requited showed some early zip at Nottingham earlier this month in defeat, while Olaudah is 2-2 at Wolverhampton but has a point to prove on Polytrack.
Prediction : 1st Fairy Fast 2nd Requited 3rd Olaudah

BORN TO REASON made his stable debut a winning one for Alex Dunn after a 57-day break at Brighton last week and could prove difficult to stop under a 5lb penalty. Cieren Fallon seemed to get along well with the gelding on that occasion and the pair can account for Voice of A Leader, who gave new connections a bit to work with when second here over a mile in June. Grasmere is back on her last winning mark and could strike soon.
Prediction : 1st Born To Reason 2nd Voice of A Leader 3rd Grasmere

KITCARINA won at Kempton on her first start for Andrew Balding before failing to follow up when switched to turf at Chester 17 days ago. However, the return to the all-weather is in her favour here, along with a decent draw in stall one. Glorious Jem is respected in first-time blinkers, having placed off this mark at Chepstow when last seen, while Delicate Kiss makes some appeal on her course form from earlier in the year.
Prediction : 1st Kitcarina 2nd Glorious Jem 3rd Delicate Kiss

BILLIEBROOKEDIT ran his best race for a while when dropped sharply in trip at Chepstow at the start of July, finishing runner-up over 6f, and the son of Dragon Pulse should remain competitive now granted this additional furlong. A return to the all-weather could see Purple Paddy better his recent form on turf, while others to note include Cooperess and Catapult.
Prediction : 1st Billiebrookedit 2nd Purple Paddy 3rd Cooperess

CAESONIA has taken a step forward with each start to date and the daughter of Garswood could make an impact on her handicap bow with Cieren Fallon's 5lb claim coming in handy. William McKinley hasn't improved on his debut third at Wolverhampton as hoped but is worth a market check after undergoing a recent wind operation, while Sonnetina and True Belief can fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Caesonia 2nd William McKinley 3rd Sonnetina
