UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

DEEP SIGH was only beaten a head into second over a mile at Chelmsford last time and that form gives her a big chance today, despite a 2lb rise in the ratings. Wholelotafun is an obvious threat to the selection based on his win over C&D two starts ago, while Always Fearless and La Rav are others who merit places on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Deep Sigh 2nd Wholelotafun 3rd Always Fearless

PHENOMENON showed plenty of promise when finishing fifth on his debut over 7f at Newmarket last month and he could be hard to beat if improving for that experience. Raintown took a step forward when third at Wolverhampton last time and he could make the frame once again. Eloped, who is from the family of Danedream, and Intergalacticat are both newcomers who could go well.
Prediction : 1st Phenomenon 2nd Raintown 3rd Eloped

Pocket The Packet's winning run came to an end last time but it would be no surprise to see him go well once again today. That said, preference is for BILLY'S JOY, who has not been disgraced in maiden/novice events and an opening mark of 61 may underestimate her on handicap debut. Miss Moonshine edges out Harry With Style to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Billys Joy 2nd Pocket The Packet 3rd Miss Moonshine

STRANGER THINGS is less exposed than most of these and, given that she shaped with a lot of promise in her only previous start over this trip, this strikes as a good opportunity for the Matt Crawley-trained filly to shed her maiden status. Laurentia was just ahead of the selection when they met here in June but the longer trip and less favourable terms conspire against her this time. Cafe Milano and Carmela Soprano can also go well.
Prediction : 1st Stranger Things 2nd Laurentia 3rd Cafe Milano

Villalobos is interesting now tried in cheekpieces, while Blairlogie is effective on Polytrack and is expected to be involved at the business end. Nevertheless, preference is for ELTHAM PALACE, who returned from a break with a scintillating effort at Chelmsford 12 days ago and a 4lb higher mark may not be enough to stop him from backing up that success with another win.
Prediction : 1st Eltham Palace 2nd Villalobos 3rd Blairlogie

Baby Steps is a pace angle and is respected after justifying strong support with a narrow victory at Wolverhampton last month. However, he's fully exposed and there are strong grounds to suggest that BORGI has more to offer. Eeetee and Dinoo are others that can be expected to be played late and both are capable of making their presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Borgi 2nd Baby Steps 3rd Eeetee

EASY EQUATION is best forgiven a tough introduction to his jumps career and may resume his progress now returned to this code off only 4lb higher than his good win at Southwell. Capricorn Prince could prove the chief threat after posting a solid second over this C&D 17 days ago and is relatively unexposed over this trip. Socially Shady and Pledge Of Peace are just two others to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Easy Equation 2nd Capricorn Prince 3rd Socially Shady

Life will be tougher for Big Impact after being hit with a 3lb rise for recent efforts, but the five-year-old is likely to remain competitive. COME ON GIRL makes most appeal after tiring late on here over 7f and the return to this trip may see the mare gain a third C&D success of the season. Kath's Toyboy, Suanni and Nubough all arrive in good form and merit consideration too.
Prediction : 1st Come On Girl 2nd Big Impact 3rd Kaths Toyboy
