UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

ZONISTY sets a lofty standard with the form of his most recent second over C&D being well franked by the third and fourth scoring in the interim. An easy winner over C&D on his penultimate start as well, the five-year-old is well ahead of the likes of Elusive Enemy, who didn't shape without promise on his debut at Doncaster, and Looksee.
Prediction : 1st Zonisty 2nd Elusive Enemy 3rd Looksee

The Chris Gordon stable can do very little wrong at present and STANLEY PINCOMBE could be the one to side with as he reverts to the smaller obstacles. The son of Multiplex scored off 5lb higher at Warwick last March and he is handicapped to strike again, with Hill Station and Begin The Luck appearing best placed to chase him home.
Prediction : 1st Stanley Pincombe 2nd Hill Station 3rd Begin The Luck

Kansas Du Berlais warrants respect as he looks to bounce back from a disappointing effort when a short-priced favourite on his domestic debut at Sandown in December. Preference, though, is for I HOPE STAR, who ran arguably a career-best when runner-up over C&D last month behind a gelding that placed in the Betfair Hurdle on Saturday. Polyphonic and State Legend can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st I Hope Star 2nd Kansas Du Berlais 3rd Polyphonic

A case can be made for all of these but preference is for NOT WHAT IT SEEMS, who was not beaten far on his chasing debut at Wetherby last time and he can race off the same mark here. Seigneur Des As showed some promise at Taunton in December and may improve for a subsequent wind operation. Scipion edges out Hudson De Grugy to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Not What It Seems 2nd Seigneur Des As 3rd Scipion

HELENN CLERMONT displayed plenty of promise when filling third place on her Rules debut at Ffos Las last month and, with the benefit of that experience under her belt, the six-year-old could be hard to beat. Moviddy has a similar profile to the selection and Noel Williams' mare should not be underestimated, while Police Academy and Finescope are the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Helenn Clermont 2nd Moviddy 3rd Police Academy

MOVETHECHAINS is unbeaten in four starts over fences at this track and the nine-year-old is likely to take advantage of a drop in grade having finished fifth on his return to action in the Welsh National. Art Of Illusion has returned to form on his last couple of starts and may benefit from stepping up in trip, while the application of cheekpieces may see an improved display from Pemberley.
Prediction : 1st Movethechains 2nd Art Of Illusion 3rd Pemberley

SECRET TRIX was inconvenienced by a bad mistake at the final flight when beaten less than a length into third at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve and Olly Murphy's gelding is capable of bouncing back to winning ways. Royal Sam has improved since moving into handicap company and could have more to offer after his recent second at Leicester. Coillte Eile, who was a well-beaten fourth behind the selection in the aforementioned Uttoxeter contest, is better judged on her Chepstow success in November and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Secret Trix 2nd Royal Sam 3rd Coillte Eile
