UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Despite finding plenty of trouble along the way at Kempton last time out, MILITRY DECORATION gave a good account to finish third. He remains unexposed over this trip and gets the nod to take a step forward off an unchanged mark. Russian Rumour has been a consistent customer this term and rates the most immediate danger after running well on her latest Flat appearance when second at Newbury in October. Smith sits 1lb above his last winning mark and also warrants interest.
Prediction : 1st Militry Decoration 2nd Russian Rumour 3rd Smith

Although JUSTCALLMEPETE fluffed his lines out of the stalls last time out, the three-year-old kept on well close home to snatch third in the final strides. The James Evans-trained gelding is related to plenty of capable sprinters and, with first-time blinkers applied, he gets the tentative vote stepping back in trip. The handicapper has continued to loosen their grip on Swiss Pride and the six-time course winner has every chance of being in the mix. Show Me A Sunset is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Justcallmepete 2nd Swiss Pride 3rd Show Me A Sunset

MISS DOLLY ROCKER has been knocking on the door on her three racecourse outings and the Roger Teal-trained filly can shed the maiden tag at the fourth attempt. She has shown plenty of promising signs and the nature of this track might yield further improvement. Congresbury was by no means disgraced when dead-heating for third at Kempton last Wednesday and is capable of another decent showing. Maso Bastie showed plenty signs of inexperience on his debut when fourth at Kempton last month, but the son of Churchill caught the eye in the closing stages and the booking of William Buick suggests he has come forward a fair amount for the outing.
Prediction : 1st Miss Dolly Rocker 2nd Congresbury 3rd Maso Bastie

The key to this race could be the recent clash over C&D of Ruith Le Tu (second) and MCQUEEN (third), who were separated by a nose. Preference is for the latter on this occasion as things did not go his way in that contest, having been slowly into stride before staying on well in the closing stages. Split Elevens bounced back to form with a strong placed effort at Kempton and the return to a mile enhances his credentials.
Prediction : 1st Mcqueen 2nd Ruith Le Tu 3rd Split Elevens

This can go the way of CRUELLA DE VILL, who has been shaping as though a step back up in trip would suit as she looks to get off the mark at the fourth time of asking. Star Guest is a well-bred filly, out of Duke Of Cambridge winner Usherette, and she may be the main danger along with Senesi, who ran a cracker on debut at Kempton in October. Paco's Pride and Warren Hill also warrant consideration.
Prediction : 1st Cruella De Vill 2nd Star Guest 3rd Senesi

CAPITAL THEORY shed the maiden tag at the seventh time of asking last time out at Chelmsford, justifying favouritism in emphatic style. The son of Muhaarar reverts to handicap company and may be able to record successive victories with William Buick returning to ride. Snapcracklepop has been running with credit of late and may be able to take a step forward after recording a career-best effort when runner-up at Wolverhampton last month. Beautiful Crown has the ability to bounce back from a couple of below-par displays, especially now sporting first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Capital Theory 2nd Snapcracklepop 3rd Beautiful Crown

Despite hanging left in the closing stages at this venue last time out, ONE STEP BEYOND was by no means disgraced in fifth. After showing a determined attitude to land the spoils over C&D in July, the five-year-old can repeat that feat on his return to this trip. There are plenty of dangers, though, including Solanna, who hit the line with plenty of conviction when fourth over a mile at Kempton last month. Gerrots completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st One Step Beyond 2nd Solanna 3rd Gerrots
