UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

BLUE COLLAR LAD kept on well to finish third over C&D on his most recent outing and, despite losing Billy Loughnane's 5lb claim here, must be respected now rated 2lb higher. Hul Ah Bah Loo has been consistent of late and could have a say in proceedings, along with the Richard Hannon-trained Ower Starlight, who is expected to bounce back following a disappointing run last time out.
Prediction : 1st Blue Collar Lad 2nd Hul Ah Bah Loo 3rd Ower Starlight

FLOATING SPIRIT is very well related and arrives following a comfortable win on her racecourse bow at Kempton last month. She has to shoulder a 7lb penalty, but looks a filly with a future. Rose Bolt cost 34,000 euros as a foal and the daughter of Make Believe has to be feared on her introduction. Margaret's Fuchsia was not disgraced in third over 5f at Chelmsford on her debut last May and completes the shortlist on her return.
Prediction : 1st Floating Spirit 2nd Rose Bolt 3rd Margarets Fuchsia

Elegant Ellen was a beaten favourite when only sixth at Kempton earlier this month and might be worth taking another chance on, but NON MOLLARE shades the vote dropping in trip from her latest outing. She was a game winner over a mile at Southwell and is fancied to follow up. Daphne May relished the drop out of handicap company to justify favouritism last week and is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Non Mollare 2nd Elegant Ellen 3rd Daphne May

VADREAM faces her easiest assignment for some time now dropped into a conditions race, and she's rated at least 13lb superior to her rivals. Charlie Fellowes' Group 3 winner does have to shoulder a 5lb penalty, but looks to hold outstanding claims with a first-time hood fitted. Aramis Grey is a picture of consistency and is feared most after another fine effort in defeat at Kempton last month. C&D winner Amber Island may fend off River Pride for the minor spoils.
Prediction : 1st Vadream 2nd Aramis Grey 3rd Amber Island

Rattling is heading in the right direction after securing a fifth success on the all-weather here last month, although she now faces her stiffest test to date up in both class and trip. EPSOM FAITHFULL was far from disgraced when fifth in a 6f Listed event at this venue and she could regain the winning thread now returned to handicap company over 7f. Tiger Crusade failed to justify favouritism when only third at Southwell, but he still merits consideration running off the same mark.
Prediction : 1st Epsom Faithfull 2nd Rattling 3rd Tiger Crusade

A cosy winner over track and trip last time out, BASE NOTE is somewhat unlucky not to be arriving here in search of a four-timer, having been narrowly denied by classy juvenile hurdler Scriptwriter at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start. He gets the vote ahead of fellow C&D scorer Berkshire Breeze and Crystal Delight, who has done well since joining the William Jarvis stable. Aiming High and Diamond Bay can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Base Note 2nd Berkshire Breeze 3rd Crystal Delight

Now that the penny has dropped for DENSETSU after a determined success at Wolverhampton last month, the extra half-furlong should see her in an even better light and she can continue on her upward curve off a 4lb higher mark. Strike Alliance has shaped for a while as though he will relish going up in trip and he gets that opportunity now, while Emperor Zen arrives in particularly consistent form.
Prediction : 1st Densetsu 2nd Strike Alliance 3rd Emperor Zen
