UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

As a half-sister to Salute The Soldier, a UAE Group 1 winner over this trip, there is likely to be more to come from FOX FLAME. The Charlie Johnston-trained filly is on a very workable mark and, having been slightly hampered on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton last month, it would come as no surprise to see her go well. Twilight Kiss and Third Batch rate best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Fox Flame 2nd Twilight Kiss 3rd Third Batch

The in-form Forge Valley Lad is high on the shortlist given that he's 2-3 under Jamie Spencer. However, a 3lb higher mark puts the gelding into uncharted territory as far as handicapping goes and a new personal best is required. With that in mind, it can pay to side with WONDER STARELZAAM, who tends to go well when fresh and he could be good value to rise to this challenge. Nasim and Rikona are also considered.
Prediction : 1st Wonder Starelzaam 2nd Forge Valley Lad 3rd Nasim

Mia Nicholls was composed in the saddle as Bascinet registered a comfortable success over 1m6f at Wolverhampton on Saturday, but a 5lb penalty and an additional two furlongs conspire to make this a stiffer test. And for those reasons, ROCK CHANT edges the nomination on these terms. The selection has dropped to a very competitive mark and, having responded well in the first-time cheekpieces (retained) last time out, he looks a solid option in this company. Global Wonder is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Rock Chant 2nd Bascinet 3rd Global Wonder

Although IDEE FIXEE has finished runner-up on all four appearances, Jane Chapple-Hyam's inmate is hard to oppose with his latest second in a handicap at Chelmsford the best form on offer. Chantico looks the only conceivable threat judged on the ratings after finishing third over this distance at Epsom in September, with Aeroplane Mode making most appeal of the remainder after catching the eye when finishing fifth on his Flat debut at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Idee Fixee 2nd Chantico 3rd Aeroplane Mode

DEFENCE TREATY proved a different proposition when winning over 1m3f at Southwell last Tuesday and, off only 4lb higher, the seven-year-old looks to have been found a great opportunity to complete the double. Abstract may appreciate this drop in distance after weakening late on here over 2m last week, and he could pose the biggest threat. Hill Station is expected to do better now reverting to the all-weather after a lacklustre performance on the hurdle course here last month.
Prediction : 1st Defence Treaty 2nd Abstract 3rd Hill Station

A game winner over 7f at this track last Friday, a 4lb penalty may not be enough to stop FLY THE NEST securing a double up in trip. He has been highly consistent of late and has either won or finished second in each of his last eight starts, so he would be dangerous to dismiss. Divine Messenger arrives on a hat-trick bid and is feared most back in handicap company, while Broughtons Flare completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Fly The Nest 2nd Divine Messenger 3rd Broughtons Flare

INAAM steps back up in trip following a disappointing fifth over 6f at Wolverhampton last month and is fancied to improve. He kept on well to score over C&D on his penultimate outing and commands respect. Triggered secured a decent second over 1m on his latest outing and can give the selection plenty to think about, while Mount Mogan is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Inaam 2nd Triggered 3rd Mount Mogan
