UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

CAPRIOLETTE performed creditably when third in a higher grade over C&D last time and could build on that effort now sporting first-time cheekpieces and eased into 0-70 company. Crimewave was strongest at the finish when picking up the bronze medal over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last time and can fight it out for the silver medal with Perfecimperfection, who found 1m an inadequate test at Kempton latest.
Prediction : 1st Capriolette 2nd Crimewave 3rd Perfecimperfection

UNIVERSAL GLEAM returned to winning ways over C&D last time and is expected to take a 4lb rise in his stride while still operating in 0-95 company. The main danger may be Star Of Southwold, who picked up minor money over a similar trip at Wolverhampton last time and could be dangerous from the front in this small field. Creationist is on a fair mark at present and is another to consider, with the drop back from 1m6f a positive.
Prediction : 1st Universal Gleam 2nd Star Of Southwold 3rd Creationist

CABLE SPEED shaped with an abundance of promise when fourth on debut at Newcastle and is expected to take closer order with the benefit of that outing behind him. Mazikeen took a step in the right direction when scoring over this trip at Chelmsford last month and could put up most resistance, despite her penalty. The pick of the remainder may be James Tate's newcomer Stately Home, any money for whom would be notable.
Prediction : 1st Cable Speed 2nd Mazikeen 3rd Stately Home

DROMARA KING caught the eye when third over 7f on debut at Kempton and it would be no surprise to see the Mayson colt thrive now upped to a mile. Mr Shady was second on his sole UK start over course and distance in November and has the experience to figure, while Made In Italy and River Song both shaped nicely on their respective racecourse debuts and make plenty of appeal.
Prediction : 1st Dromara King 2nd Mr Shady 3rd Made In Italy

INAAM took advantage of a lenient mark when scoring comfortably at Wolverhampton in November and the course-and-distance winner could take plenty of beating off his revised rating if in the same form. Haddaf was a little disappointing when sent off favourite at Newcastle but could be suited by a return to 7f and still looks to be on a fair mark, while Red Bravo makes each-way appeal based on his most recent efforts.
Prediction : 1st Inaam 2nd Haddaf 3rd Red Bravo

VENTURE made an impressive winning debut for these connections at Kempton in November and that form suggests that the lightly-raced four-year-old may be underestimated by an opening mark of 75. Something Lucky and Alicia Darcy both hit the crossbar on their most recent starts and they should be in the mix once again. Boom The Groom and Awsaaf are others who could make the frame today.
Prediction : 1st Venture 2nd Alicia Darcy 3rd Something Lucky

PETITE JACK was only beaten a length in a similar event over C&D just before Christmas and the seven-year-old appears to be the one to beat this afternoon. Getchagetchagetcha is an obvious threat to the selection having scored at Wolverhampton four weeks ago and he remains unexposed on the all-weather. Others who merit consideration are Ship Of The Fen and Battle Of Marathon.
Prediction : 1st Petite Jack 2nd Getchagetchagetcha 3rd Battle Of Marathon

FINESPUN has improved with every start to date and she was last seen finishing a nose second at Newcastle last month. An opening mark of 71 is not overly generous but the daughter of Sea The Stars may have more improvement left to come and gets the nod here. Cuillin won at Wolverhampton two starts ago and she merits respect, while Jamaican Jill completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Finespun 2nd Cuillin 3rd Jamaican Jill
