UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

CHETAN was touched off by a neck over this trip at Chelmsford last time and is expected to show up well again, from an inside draw, as he returns on his old mark (officially 2lb well-in). Azets picked up minor money over this trip at Kempton last time and could emerge as the main danger under Richard Kingscote, while Sharp Operator is rated only 3lb higher than when scoring at Chelmsford in September and could also get competitive.
Prediction : 1st Chetan 2nd Azets 3rd Sharp Operator

BOY GEORGE caught the eye when making headway up the inside rail when third over 7f here last month and is expected to improve on that placing now stepping back up to a mile. Birkie Queen was touched off by less than a length over the extended mile at Wolverhampton last time and could go well off 1lb lower here, while there may also be a big run on the cards from Trecco Bay, who finished a creditable third over C&D on her handicap debut two weeks ago.
Prediction : 1st Boy George 2nd Birkie Queen 3rd Trecco Bay

LETS GO LUCKY won over this trip on the turf course here in the summer and followed up on the Tapeta at Wolverhampton thereafter. David Evans' charge could benefit from the application of a first-time visor here and appears fairly treated at the weights now following three moderate efforts. Stablemate Isobar Wind stuck over the extended mile at Wolverhampton in this grade in December and is nominated as the main danger ahead of Interrupted Dream, who is another sporting a first-time visor.
Prediction : 1st Lets Go Lucky 2nd Isobar Wind 3rd Interrupted Dream

CHOCCO STAR was an impressive winner over C&D last Saturday and she is hard to oppose once again today, despite having to carry a 5lb penalty for that success. Tarseekh was a consistent performer on the all-weather last year and he has to be respected on his return to action, while Disruptor and Starchant are others who merit places on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Chocco Star 2nd Tarseekh 3rd Disruptor

DEEDS NOT WORDS has bounced back to form with two victories at Chelmsford in recent weeks and the veteran is 5lb well in today, as he does not have to carry a penalty for the most recent of those wins. Sir Hector is another whose most recent form suggests that he could play a key role in this contest. Bernie's Boy edges out Mercers to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Deeds Not Words 2nd Sir Hector 3rd Bernies Boy

A step up in trip could be just what LA FOGLIETTA requires having faded into third late on over a mile last time. Roger Charlton's Win O'clock was doing some good work at the finish when a little further back in fourth on that occasion and shouldn't be far away, while John Gosden's Dansili colt Lordofthehorizon could have plenty more in the locker following a respectable debut at Newcastle.
Prediction : 1st La Foglietta 2nd Win Oclock 3rd Lordofthehorizon

NOBLE PEACE made it two wins from his last three when stepping up in trip last time and could follow up that course-and-distance victory off a 4lb higher mark. Crimewave is another to score over track and trip this month and makes plenty of appeal, while Admodum took advantage of a lenient figure when winning at Chelmsford last month, but faces a tougher task off 8lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Noble Peace 2nd Crimewave 3rd Admodum

ICE PYRAMID built on some encouraging opening outings for Philip Kirby to score readily at Newcastle last week and is 5lb well-in looking to follow up under a 5lb penalty, with a top amateur rider in the saddle. By Rail is tried in a visor on his return to the Flat and is respected, while Contingency Fee could appreciate the drop in trip having struggled to land a telling blow over 2m at Chelmsford.
Prediction : 1st Ice Pyramid 2nd Contingency Fee 3rd By Rail
