UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Duveen had her first crack at this trip last time and was beaten under a length into third at Wolverhampton in this grade. She is likely to remain competitive, but preference goes to SOVEREIGN SPIRIT, who has Oisin Murphy booked. The three-year-old was dropped 2lb from his latest effort at Southwell, when racing wide and staying on well at the finish, and he is fancied to be on the premises once more. Book Of Tales completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Sovereign Spirit 2nd Duveen 3rd Book Of Tales

Sausalito has been in splendid form this year, winning five of his eight starts, but he has been raised 22lb since the first of those victories, which could give a chance to the Jeremy Scott-trained PRIDE OF NEPAL. The son of The Gurkha ran well off this mark at Goodwood when last seen on the Flat in September, that was a warmer contest than this and, therefore, he could prove too good for these. Motataabeq is best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Pride Of Nepal 2nd Sausalito 3rd Motataabeq

INVERLOCHY was sent off favourite for an extremely warm maiden that has worked out very well at Newmarket in May last year, with seven subsequent winners coming out of it. She is a half-sister to recent Earl Of Sefton winner Ottoman Fleet and should appreciate the step up to 7f. Last-time-out winner Pastiche carries a 7lb penalty, which makes life tougher, but she could have more to come. Regal Fanfare is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Inverlochy 2nd Pastiche 3rd Regal Fanfare

The veteran INAAM has a terrific recent record around here and there is no reason to suggest why he can't continue in that vein as he looks to make it four wins in his last seven starts. Taskheer has done it well over further the last twice, including here last month, and he is likely to be thereabouts, along with Luna Queen and Swiss Rowe.
Prediction : 1st Inaam 2nd Taskheer 3rd Luna Queen

GRANARY QUEEN has been knocking on the door of late and on each occasion she has given the impression that she would be well served by stepping back up in trip. The C&D winner gets that opportunity now and she is preferred to the likes of Newcastle runner-up Windsor Pass and Wadacre Grace, who has only gone up 2lb for winning over this trip at Newcastle 23 days ago.
Prediction : 1st Granary Queen 2nd Wadacre Grace 3rd Windsor Pass

GOLD MEDAL made a winning seasonal/stable debut over C&D a month ago and a 4lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him here. That said, the unexposed Cool Lightning and Bobby On The Beat are also recent winners and they could give him plenty to think about. Others to note are Bezzas Lad, Lilkian and El Hombre.
Prediction : 1st Gold Medal 2nd Cool Lightning 3rd Bobby On The Beat

SPARKED bounced back to form when only beaten a neck into second over C&D last week and she is hard to oppose off the same mark here. Mews House has not been disgraced on either start this year and is an obvious threat to the selection. Storm Melody edges out Reversion and Tilsworth Ony Ta to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Sparked 2nd Mews House 3rd Storm Melody
