UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

MOCHALOV remains on a reasonable mark and could make an impact back in handicap company after finishing third in a claimer at Chelmsford last time. All-weather supremo Adam Kirby replaces a 5lb apprentice for this test and the pair can account for recent Kempton hero Rajman. Garth Rockett's hat-trick bid was ended last time, but he still performed with credit in defeat and should be competitive once more, despite being drawn high.
Prediction : 1st Mochalov 2nd Rajman 3rd Garth Rockett

CESIFIRE put in a huge career-best performance when second on her nursery debut at Chelmsford just over a fortnight ago and a further step forward would see her land this prize. Surrajah accounted for the selection on that occasion but may not be able to confirm that form on 2lb worse terms this afternoon. Others who merit consideration are Beat The Breeze, Urtzi and Dark Phoenix.
Prediction : 1st Cesifire 2nd Surrajah 3rd Beat The Breeze

PRINCE CASPIAN performed to a high level on debut when second at Wolverhampton six weeks ago and natural improvement would see him go one better. The winner that day had already shown much potential when placing twice on turf, and the form of that latest race could be boosted. Brunel Charm was a 25-1 winner on debut at Kempton earlier this month and has a penalty to contend with, while Corvair has twice finished second and deserves a change of fortune soon.
Prediction : 1st Prince Caspian 2nd Brunel Charm 3rd Corvair

REAL ESTATE was back to somewhere near his best when winning over this distance at Wolverhampton 12 days ago and Michael Attwater's four-year-old could have plenty more to come off a 4lb higher mark. Lalania was less than a length away from back-to-back victories over 5f here last weekend and steps up in trip off a 1lb higher rating, while Grisons, Alfie Solomons and Big Lachie all make each-way appeal.
Prediction : 1st Real Estate 2nd Lalania 3rd Alfie Solomons

ARABIC CULTURE built on a couple of near misses to land a battling success over this distance at Wolverhampton last time and Grant Tuer's five-year-old could have just enough in hand to follow up off a 3lb higher mark. Blue Medici was another to win at Dunstall Park on his most recent appearance and has to be respected, with the consistent Sir Prize and Battle Of Marathon, who has gone close the last twice, others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Arabic Culture 2nd Blue Medici 3rd Battle Of Marathon

INDIGO LAKE ran with promise when fifth on his racecourse bow at Kempton earlier in the month and the son of Frankel is likely to benefit from the step up from 1m based on that performance. First Winter is a half-brother to Prix Jean Prat winner Aesop's Fables and is likely to be competitive representing Charlie Appleby, while A Star Above can take a big step forward from his first outing at Chelmsford.
Prediction : 1st Indigo Lake 2nd First Winter 3rd A Star Above

BRIDGEWATER BAY built on a good debut effort to score at Kempton 17 days ago and, despite giving weight to all of his rivals bar Albadr, Jane Chapple-Hyam's gelding appears capable of following up. The drop to a mile suited the aforementioned Albadr when he also won at the Sunbury venue in August and he is likely to prove the main threat, while the Alan King pair, War Princess and Nearly Perfection, appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Bridgewater Bay 2nd Albadr 3rd War Princess
