UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

VERTICE has shaped with encouragement since joining the handicap ranks and a step up in distance could bring about the required improvement to take this off a 1lb lower mark than when last seen. Golden Times is also of interest moving up in trip on her handicap debut, while Evaporust and Sea Bright are both respected despite running from out of the handicap.
Prediction : 1st Vertice 2nd Golden Times 3rd Evaporust

C&D winner RENARDEAU was less than a length away from making a return to the scoresheet last time and Ali Stronge's in-form four-year-old could be the answer off the same rating here. Giving Glances was a little further behind in third on that occasion and is now tried in first-time cheekpieces, while her stablemate Lexington Law is a track-and-trip winner and lurking on a dangerous looking figure.
Prediction : 1st Renardeau 2nd Giving Glances 3rd Lexington Law

London Arch wasn't stopping when getting off the mark at the second attempt at Newcastle in January and should have lots more to come now stepping up from 1m. However, PITCHER'S POINT has shaped like a winner in waiting in his three starts so far and the $800,000 buy was only beaten a neck on his first attempt at this trip at Chelmsford. Quantum Dawn rates best of the remaining trio.
Prediction : 1st Pitchers Point 2nd London Arch 3rd Quantum Dawn

RIVAS ROB ROY overcame a wide draw to impressively win an apprentice handicap over 7f here last week. He's effectively 3lb better off, with Darragh Keenan able to use his 3lb claim, and gets the vote to follow up. Al Daiha has struck the crossbar on her last couple of starts and is likely to be in the shake-up again. The Warrior, Purple Paddy and Run After Genesis are others to note in a competitive event.
Prediction : 1st Rivas Rob Roy 2nd Al Daiha 3rd The Warrior

WILL TO WIN is progressing at a rate of knots and despite a further 6lb rise for his last-start C&D triumph, he is taken to complete the five-timer. His stable companion Corvair is also on the improve and his two victories to date include one over 7f at this venue. Silvestre De Sousa rides for the first time and he must enter calculations, while Mark Johnston has a couple of solid chances in Desert Safari and Lion Tower.
Prediction : 1st Will To Win 2nd Corvair 3rd Desert Safari

BANTA BAY has been running consistently well and the refitting of cheekpieces could eke out that extra bit of improvement needed for him to regain the winning thread. Mr Fox struck the crossbar over 1m6f at Chelmsford last time and he warrants plenty of respect lining up off the same mark of 56. Heron and the returning Alramz complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Banta Bay 2nd Mr Fox 3rd Heron
