UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

D DAY ODETTE has benefited from stepping back up in trip on her last couple of starts, winning here over 1m2f before finishing third when tried over an extra furlong at Kempton. She tackles 1m4f for the first time and that may yield further improvement from the daughter of Lawman. Miss Down Under went up 11lb for a brace of victories at Sandown and Ffos Las in September and she is feared most, while Rikona is capable of better than her most recent effort at this track.
Prediction : 1st D Day Odette 2nd Miss Down Under 3rd Rikona

The well-bred SEA FLAWLESS made the perfect start to her career at Newcastle in February, when shrugging off some greenness to put the race to bed. She has to give all of her rivals 2lb, but the manner of that performance suggested better things were on the horizon and it would be no surprise if the four-year-old landed this with the minimum of fuss. Explorers Way is capable of improving from his first run for Brian Ellison here last month, while Capstan should prove a lot happier back on the level, having been pulled up at Newbury when last seen.
Prediction : 1st Sea Flawless 2nd Explorers Way 3rd Capstan

MARGARET'S FUCHSIA has filled the runner-up spot on her last two outings, including on handicap debut at Newcastle latest, and the switch of headgear, from cheekpieces to blinkers, may help her to go one better. Outrace struck up a great partnership with Tyrese Cameron throughout the winter months and the drop back to a mile after tackling 1m2f last time is likely to be in his favour, while Mickey Mongoose and Lady Marie appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Margarets Fuchsia 2nd Outrace 3rd Mickey Mongoose

GONE is best excused her final run of last season when finishing down the field at Leicester in October and she had previously looked a progressive sort. Charlie Johnston's inmate won on her penultimate appearance at Yarmouth two weeks earlier and the switch to the Polytrack shouldn't hinder her chances. Phoenix Glow may have more to offer now upped to 7f again and is feared most, ahead of My Roxanne, who showed a bit more spark when fourth at Newcastle recently.
Prediction : 1st Gone 2nd Phoenix Glow 3rd My Roxanne

Navy Drums landed the spoils once more over 6f here last month and is sure to prove popular in his current form. However, the five-year-old does have another 3lb rise to contend with, so it could be worth taking a chance on SHOWDIEMLAD. Lydia Richards' charge wasn't disgraced when finishing fifth in a classified stakes contest at this venue last Monday and he returns to handicaps off what looks a fair mark. Purple Poppy makes most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Showdiemlad 2nd Navy Drums 3rd Purple Poppy

COVERT MISSION has made the frame on his last couple of starts and those performances suggest that he could be hard to beat in a race of this nature. Ower Starlight won at Kempton a month ago and may prove to be the main threat to the selection, despite a 3lb rise in the ratings. Others to note are Cap D'Antibes and Hul Ah Bah Loo.
Prediction : 1st Covert Mission 2nd Ower Starlight 3rd Cap DAntibes

SIR RODNEYREDBLOOD racked up a double with an impressive victory at Kempton last week and a 5lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop him from making it a hat-trick here. Porfin filled second place off this mark over C&D last time and could repeat that achievement, while Bobby On The Beat and Come On Girl are the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Sir Rodneyredblood 2nd Porfin 3rd Bobby On The Beat
