UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Uncle Bert commands plenty of respect having finished second on all three timber outings to date. He may have to play another supporting role, this time behind BIG AMBITIONS, who improved from his bumper displays when runner-up on his hurdling debut at Wetherby and the manner of that performance suggested he would benefit from stepping up in distance. Morning Line was a beaten favourite on his racecourse bow at Worcester, but he is likely to be better suited by obstacles and this stiffer test of stamina.
Prediction : 1st Big Ambitions 2nd Uncle Bert 3rd Morning Line

FAME AND CONCRETE has run with plenty of credit to fill the runner-up berth in both outings over timber and the Jonjo O'Neill-trained seven-year-old makes plenty of appeal as he steps up in distance on his handicap bow. Getupearly may benefit from a slightly more patient ride after finishing second at Hereford, while Hurricane Vichi was just denied over C&D last month and has to be of interest off a 2lb higher mark.
Prediction : 1st Fame And Concrete 2nd Getupearly 3rd Hurricane Vichi

UNIVERSAL BROOK outran her odds when runner-up on her chasing debut at Ffos Las at the end of last month. That performance was also her first outing for Peter Bowen and it wouldn't be a surprise if she improved again from that display. Lincoln Lyn won at Fakenham on her penultimate start and has to enter calculations along with Lazy Sunday, who arrives on the back of an Exeter triumph.
Prediction : 1st Universal Brook 2nd Lincoln Lyn 3rd Lazy Sunday

PARIKARMA is a good starting point after she got off the mark over hurdles at Taunton a couple of weeks ago. That was only her second start in this discipline and created the impression that a 7lb penalty might not be enough to stop her following up in a race of this nature. Walk Of No Shame is entitled to improve from her hurdling debut, while Oakley Dancer is also considered now the emphasis switches to jumping.
Prediction : 1st Parikarma 2nd Walk Of No Shame 3rd Oakley Dancer

DINDIN has been kept busy since joining David Pipe and despite only going in once for the Pond House handler, is dangerous to underestimate. He's currently 8lb lower than his last successful mark and, considering he won four times over fences during his time in France, he looks well treated at present. Tamaris is of interest on his chasing debut, while Gabriel's Getaway is also considered after making a winning start to life over the bigger obstacles at Taunton.
Prediction : 1st Dindin 2nd Tamaris 3rd Gabriels Getaway

The unexposed OFTEN OVERLOOKED could be good value now he switches to handicaps and it would come as no surprise to see an improved display from this nicely-bred gelding. An introductory mark of 93 is hardly restrictive and he looks a sporting option in a tricky race to solve. Tommy Dillion won well over C&D just before Christmas and is dangerous to underestimate back on happy hunting ground. Enthused is also respected on just his third start for James Owen's yard.
Prediction : 1st Often Overlooked 2nd Tommy Dillion 3rd Enthused

A wide-open contest in which a token vote goes to DELGANY MONARCH, who has been dropped 1lb after finishing fourth on his chasing debut. The second went one better at Leicester last week, and Richard Rowe's charge is less exposed than many of these. Supasunrise is likely to be thereabouts on the back of another solid effort at Hereford, and the step up from 2m5f could bring out improvement. Another to note is Twilight Glory, who ran a very solid race to finish second behind a nice winner at Ffos Las.
Prediction : 1st Delgany Monarch 2nd Supasunrise 3rd Twilight Glory
