UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

None of these are overly-convincing which could make FRA ANGELICO worth chancing at a price. Jamie Osborne's lightly-raced gelding hasn't lived up to his 40,000 guineas purchase price so far but he hinted at better things to come in first-time blinkers here recently and this is the weakest race he has contested so far. Cape Cornwall Rose could plausibly appreciate this longer trip and would be a big player if so, while Arpina and Dark Kris wouldn't have to improve to get involved.
Prediction : 1st Fra Angelico 2nd Cape Cornwall Rose 3rd Arpina

Dresden Green never lived up to expectations first time out over 6f but the combination of some previous experience and an extra furlong should see him in a better light, while any market confidence in the newcomers Venetian or Star Player would be significant, though both may appreciate further. If there is any value here it may lie with SURELY NOT, a 31,000 guineas colt who shaped better than the bare result may suggest at Newbury first time out.
Prediction : 1st Surely Not 2nd Dresden Green 3rd Star Player

Gigi's Beach got back on track with a second course win last time and should remain competitive despite a 4lb rise, with the drop back in trip arguably a positive. For all that, DARING GUEST would probably have gone close against the same rival but for meeting trouble in running over C&D in April and now gets to reoppose on 8lb better terms. Dors Toyboy floundered from an outside draw at Chelmsford last time but he'd earlier gone close over the same C&D and remains feasibly treated.
Prediction : 1st Daring Guest 2nd Gigis Beach 3rd Dors Toyboy

ZERO CARBON built on an encouraging debut run when winning at Wolverhampton last month, despite facing pressure up front, and the son of Acclamation makes plenty of appeal. Spangled Mac finished behind the classy Royal Aclaim when third at Bath last week and is worthy of respect, while High And Wide drops in trip and can also make an impact.
Prediction : 1st Zero Carbon 2nd Spangled Mac 3rd High And Wide

Janus made the perfect start for Simon Hodgson when winning in a first-time visor here earlier this week and should go well. However, preference is for the Sir Mark Prescott-trained CAPTAIN HOWSE, who stepped up when second at Bath on his handicap debut last time and may have even more to offer. Rita Rana travelled well when fourth at Yarmouth on her latest outing and can also figure.
Prediction : 1st Captain Howse 2nd Janus 3rd Rita Rana

FORGE VALLEY LAD got his head back in front when scoring over C&D earlier in the month and a 3lb rise is unlikely to stop David Simcock's gelding from backing that performance up. Party Island returned from a spell over hurdles when runner-up here last month and he is capable of another decent showing, while Tralee Hills and Gold Wing, who makes her stable debut for Milton Harris, appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Forge Valley Lad 2nd Party Island 3rd Tralee Hills

CHIEF OF STAFF has shaped well on both starts in 2022, placing here on both the all-weather and turf, and the four-year-old wouldn't need to improve much to get his head back in front. The return to an artificial surface is likely to benefit Avarice having disappointed at Haydock last time, while Semser's consistency throughout the winter brings him into it.
Prediction : 1st Chief Of Staff 2nd Avarice 3rd Semser
