UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

HADDAF was an impressive winner under Grace McEntee in an apprentice handicap at Chelmsford recently and with the same rider able to use her 7lb claim today, he might be able to complete the double. The five-year-old is also due to race off a 7lb higher mark in the near future. Real Estate won a couple of 6f races last month and won't give up on the hat-trick without a fight, while Qaabil and Golden Force are other names to note.
Prediction : 1st Haddaf 2nd Real Estate 3rd Qaabil

PRINCE ROCK has been running consistently well for a number of months and could follow up his latest course-and-distance success, despite a further 3lb rise in the ratings. Billyoakes is a dual course winner and was impressive when thumping his rivals at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start. He's 6lb well-in and should be happier back at 7f, having only finished in mid-division at the Dunstall Park venue over 6f on Wednesday. Axel Jacklin and The British Lion add further spice to the event.
Prediction : 1st Prince Rock 2nd Billyoakes 3rd Axel Jacklin

JUNGLE CAPERS had his excuses when a beaten favourite over 5f at Wolverhampton last time (slowly away before encountering traffic problems late on) and, touched off over this distance at Chelmsford before that, he is given another chance. Third in the aforementioned Chelmsford contest was Sir Rodneyredblood and he merits respect lining up off a 2lb lower mark, while Inevitable Outcome also holds claims on her second handicap appearance.
Prediction : 1st Jungle Capers 2nd Sir Rodneyredblood 3rd Inevitable Outcome

CLIFF WIND was three-parts of a length second over this trip at Kempton earlier in the month and may be able to go one better now sporting first-time cheekpieces. Star Of St Louis chased the selection home in third last time and could feasibly sneak more minor money, while any market support for handicap newcomer Passing Nod, who debuts for David O'Meara, would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Cliff Wind 2nd Star Of St Louis 3rd Passing Nod

Course-and-distance winner RECKLESS ENDEAVOUR is turned out under a 4lb penalty for scoring over this trip at Newcastle nine days ago and could feasibly score again if this is set up to suit his come-from-behind style of running. Savalas has been raised 2lb for going down narrowly over 5f at Chelmsford but should give another good account, while Merhoob offered more when third here latest and is on a workable mark at present.
Prediction : 1st Reckless Endeavour 2nd Merhoob 3rd Savalas

Fareeq, successful at Wolverhampton earlier in the month, never got competitive at Southwell on Wednesday and TERRI RULES is preferred. The selection finished in front of Charlie Wallis' charge when last seen and is feasibly handicapped on old form. Mercers rates a viable each-way alternative to the principals, while Superseded has won off higher marks than he races off today and cannot be left out of calculations.
Prediction : 1st Terri Rules 2nd Fareeq 3rd Mercers

MY TARGET has been running well in defeat since winning at Newcastle in November and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the nine-year-old to earn his 10th career victory. Normal Norman disappointed over hurdles when last seen, but he was successful on the Flat the time before and should not be underestimated. Others to note are Berrahri, Mr Scaramanga and Starfighter.
Prediction : 1st My Target 2nd Normal Norman 3rd Berrahri

RHUBARB BIKINI got off the mark over a mile here shortly before Christmas and that followed a very encouraging debut effort at Chelmsford. Both of those performances suggest that the son of Zoffany could be hard to beat today, despite having to carry a penalty. Bentley Wood displayed promise on turf last year and he could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Gregory K and Angel On High.
Prediction : 1st Rhubarb Bikini 2nd Bentley Wood 3rd Gregory K
