UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

EMBRACE THE MOMENT finished second in a better race than this at Brighton last year off 78 and could be dangerously handicapped now 10lb lower on stable debut for Ian Williams. The four-year-old has been located a suitable opening, and the drop back to a mile could suit him on his all-weather bow. Toro Dorado stayed on well over this trip at Chelmsford last month, while Holiday Magic was successful on his first start for Lee Carter at Kempton 34 days ago and also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Embrace The Moment 2nd Toro Dorado 3rd Holiday Magic

MR MAC won this last year off 1lb lower and, based on his effort at Lingfield three days ago, is expected to claim victory again soon for Peter Hedger. The six-year-old may have only beaten two home last time, but he was only three and a half lengths behind the winner and can be even more competitive now dropped in trip. Noble Peace was Simon Pearce's first winner as a trainer three weeks ago, while Puerto Banus showed more at this venue last time and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Mr Mac 2nd Noble Peace 3rd Puerto Banus

Blake's Vision failed to beat a rival home at Wolverhampton just before Christmas and needs to show more before becoming a betting proposition, while Danny Ocean is a little more exposed than most but performed to a decent standard when fourth at Kempton three weeks ago. The unexposed DEPOSE has shown potential in four career outings and receives a tentative vote to make it fifth-time lucky. Hugo Palmer's charge is out of a Group 3 winner and will appreciate going back up to 7f.
Prediction : 1st Depose 2nd Danny Ocean 3rd Blakes Vision

Heer We Go Again is sure to be popular after making all in good style over 5f at Wolverhampton last month, but he has it to prove over 6f and races off a 6lb higher mark. Slight preference is for IRISH ACCLAIM, who has shown ability in three qualifying runs over this trip and an opening mark of 78 looks workable on his handicap bow. Taste The Nectar only missed out by a short head in a similar event at Wolverhampton last time out and a 2lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold bid.
Prediction : 1st Irish Acclaim 2nd Heer We Go Again 3rd Taste The Nectar

Fujaira King has to be considered on his second in a five-runner affair at Southwell last month but there were no excuses there and he is no 0-7. Of more appeal is DREAMING AWAY, who hasn't raced since May but sets the standard with that half-length second at Doncaster to a rival now rated 102 and Roger Charlton's filly could prove tough to beat if fully wound up for her return. Mykindofsunshine rates best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Dreaming Away 2nd Fujaira King 3rd Mykindofsunshine

ROUNDABOUT MAGIC is turned out under a penalty for his C&D victory on Tuesday and likely has better to offer, given he overcame trouble in running to get his head in front last time. Tomshalfbrother hasn't been disgraced in novice company lately but could benefit from the return to handicaps, while C&D winner Arzaak has dropped 19lb lower than his last winning all-weather mark.
Prediction : 1st Roundabout Magic 2nd Tomshalfbrother 3rd Arzaak

FIRE FIGHTING needs to leave behind a disappointing effort on his last visit here but he's a C&D winner with an abundance of back-class. Now rated 8lb lower than when winning here in March in a 0-105 affair, he could be a tough nut to crack taking on 0-85 rated opposition. Matewan has been knocking hard on the door and wouldn't be winning out of turn, while it is possible this step up in trip could unlock improvement from Skerryvore.
Prediction : 1st Fire Fighting 2nd Matewan 3rd Skerryvore

Arlecchino's Arc returned to winning ways over this trip at Chelmsford last time and is expected to remain competitive off this 3lb higher perch, though it might be worth siding with ENMESHING, who failed to see out his race over 1m6f at Wolverhampton last time and could benefit from this drop back in distance. Music Major rattled the crossbar over C&D last month and could play another minor role off an unchanged rating.
Prediction : 1st Enmeshing 2nd Arlecchinos Arc 3rd Music Major
