UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

A handful of these are competitively weighted, with none appealing more than MAY REMAIN, who is set to race from a mark 20lb lower than his last win. There have been encouraging signs of late and as he seems to respond kindly to Ellie-May Croot, the jockey's 7lb claim is a further boost. Cappananty Con is dangerous to underestimate, with similar comments applying to Brazen Diamond and Silks Pass.
Prediction : 1st May Remain 2nd Cappananty Con 3rd Brazen Diamond

It's been a while since we've seen SAMBA LADY but her debut effort was boosted by a similar type, who was just ahead of her in third, returning with a win here last month. That bodes well for David Loghnane's filly despite a 245-day absence and she is from the family of UAE 1000 Guineas winner Lovely Pass, so the signs look good for the switch to Polytrack. Shikhova and Secret Contact appeal on pedigree too and also have the benefit of a run under their belts.
Prediction : 1st Samba Lady 2nd Shikhova 3rd Secret Contact

It's no surprise to see HUBERTS DREAM out under another penalty after posting a highly convincing success over C&D last week. That was the second time within a week that he'd made every yard of the running and he still has more to offer. This is potentially a deeper race and it's possible that Geralt Of Rivia will cause the selection big problems along the way, while C&D winner Royal Mariner is also feared.
Prediction : 1st Huberts Dream 2nd Geralt Of Rivia 3rd Royal Mariner

Strong support for Parisiac on his AW/new yard debut would be noteworthy, while Lynns Boy and Harb both have a race like this within them despite neither actually managing to win a race from previous attempts at this particular course. That's not the case with the in-form POP DANCER, who showed his mettle under a strong drive from Luke Morris over C&D 23 days ago and, from just a 2lb higher mark, he is hard to oppose.
Prediction : 1st Pop Dancer 2nd Parisiac 3rd Lynns Boy

GIORGIO VASARI returned from a 230-day break to win comfortably at Wolverhampton on Friday, and the slight drop in trip should not inconvenience him as he attempts to follow up under a 5lb penalty. Ower Starlight has only once been outside the first three in his last seven starts and he is a leading contender alongside Chagall, who had been in excellent form at Chelmsford prior to blowing the start at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Giorgio Vasari 2nd Chagall 3rd Ower Starlight

RECUERDAME has been somewhat unlucky not to get his head in front in recent starts, including when slowly away and denied a clear run on his penultimate appearance over C&D. This could be his day if getting the breaks and he is preferred to River Chorus, who was a convincing winner over 7f at Wolverhampton on Friday. Breguet Boy took a step back in the right direction when fourth here and the drop in trip is likely to suit.
Prediction : 1st Recuerdame 2nd River Chorus 3rd Breguet Boy

Gold Standard must be a leading player on the back of a strong placed effort over this distance at Chelmsford. Preference, however is for NO SUCH LUCK, who may have disappointed last time out, but had run well over C&D on his previous two starts and can strike here for the first time since February. My Lady Claire is another who is capable on her day and must be considered in this sort of company.
Prediction : 1st No Such Luck 2nd Gold Standard 3rd My Lady Claire

Now that the penny has dropped for COME TO PASS after a determined success over C&D last month, there could be plenty more improvement forthcoming from the son of Mastercraftsman. Less than a length behind him on that occasion was Laurentia (fourth), who is entitled to improve on that effort as well and could get even closer. Chelmsford winner Persian Wolf is another to note, along with Magical Dragon.
Prediction : 1st Come To Pass 2nd Laurentia 3rd Persian Wolf
