UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

With the majority of the field having something to prove at present, the most solid proposition appears to be EIGHT MILE. George Scott's inmate has been shaping as if this step up to a mile could unlock some potential and he looks ready to capitalise. Twilight Kiss's stamina, on the other hand, appeared to be stretched by the 1m2f trip here earlier in the month and she is feared most now returned to this distance. Handicap debutant Doves Of Peace is worth noting in the market.
Prediction : 1st Eight Mile 2nd Twilight Kiss 3rd Doves Of Peace

A 1lb rise in the handicap for KITBAG's runner-up effort at Wolverhampton earlier this month looks more than fair and Jack Channon's gelding is fancied to add a second C&D win to his name. Sumac wasn't disgraced when second in a classified stakes contest at Southwell recently and he should remain competitive on this return to handicap company, while Sajwaan could prove dangerous if allowed to dictate on the front end.
Prediction : 1st Kitbag 2nd Sumac 3rd Sajwaan

Toplight regained the winning thread over 5f at Wolverhampton a few weeks ago and clearly arrives in fine fettle. Nevertheless, he hasn't convinced over this distance of 6f in the past and may prove worth taking on. REAL ESTATE found himself with too much to do when a never-nearer second at Chelmsford recently and makes most appeal now returned to the C&D of his last success. Dark Design and Champagne Supanova also merit consideration.
Prediction : 1st Real Estate 2nd Toplight 3rd Dark Design

SHARP POWER bumped into a couple of nice prospects when finishing a good third at Southwell earlier this month. The son of Churchill kept on well over 6f that occasion and he should open his account, with improvement likely at this longer trip. Andrew Balding's string often improve for their initial racecourse experience and that could be the case with Sceptic, who was far from disgraced on his debut at Newmarket last October. Sugar Hill makes plenty of appeal on paper and is worth monitoring in the betting ahead of his first start.
Prediction : 1st Sharp Power 2nd Sceptic 3rd Sugar Hill

George Boughey has enjoyed a fairly productive start to the campaign and it would be no surprise were Cantora to land her hat-trick following a 150-day absence. However, preference is for RUBINA ROSE, who took a significant step forward when winning over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last month and a further step up in trip shouldn't be an issue for the lightly-raced daughter of Nathaniel. Recent Chelmsford scorer Star From Afarhh can chase them home.
Prediction : 1st Rubina Rose 2nd Cantora 3rd Star From Afarhh

There has been no stopping the Gary Moore-trained SAUSALITO, who arrives here on a six-timer following a facile success over C&D earlier this month. He has to shoulder a 5lb penalty for that win, but that may not be enough to hold him back here. Hooves Like Jagger could benefit from a shorter stamina test having lost second inside the final furlong over an extended 2m last time out and is feared ahead of Abstract.
Prediction : 1st Sausalito 2nd Hooves Like Jagger 3rd Abstract

A comfortable winner over C&D earlier this month, STORM MELODY can have another big say in proceedings now rated 3lb higher for that success and the gelded son of Royal Applause should not be taken lightly. Pablo Del Pueblo is likely to enter the reckoning, despite having to shoulder top-weight, while Lynns Boy and Bezzas Lad add further spice to the mix.
Prediction : 1st Storm Melody 2nd Pablo Del Pueblo 3rd Lynns Boy
