UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Totnes was a disappointing favourite on her first start in a handicap when fifth at Wolverhampton, but she is likely to have more to come stepping up to a mile. However, she could come out second best to CLIMATE PRECEDENT, who was well clear of the third when filling the runner-up spot at the same venue over this trip on his latest start. The son of Ulysses was raised 4lb for that effort but that might not be enough to prevent him from going one better. Phenomenon makes his handicap debut and merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Climate Precedent 2nd Totnes 3rd Phenomenon

LAFAN scored impressively at Wolverhampton last time over an extended 1m1f and, even though he has been put up 8lb for that success, he could still be feasibly treated. A fellow last-time-out winner Covert Mission warrants plenty of respect, as he recorded that victory over C&D and should remain competitive off 3lb higher. Havana Goldrush could have a say if transferring his recent turf form to the all-weather.
Prediction : 1st Lafan 2nd Covert Mission 3rd Havana Goldrush

REVOLUTIONARY MAN kept on well into second last time at Wolverhampton and the son of Exceed and Excel was raised just 1lb for that display. With Billy Loughnane booked to claim 3lb, he looks to hold every chance of recording his fifth career success. The main danger could be Buraback, who is running off the same mark as when runner-up over C&D recently and tries first-time cheekpieces, while Fiftyshadesofred isn't out of this either.
Prediction : 1st Revolutionary Man 2nd Buraback 3rd Fiftyshadesofred

Bobby On The Beat likes it around here and must be respected having recorded a comfortable C&D success on his latest outing, but MELLYS FLYER could prove too strong. George Scott's charge went up 4lb in the ratings for his recent Wolverhampton success, although Benoit De La Sayette's 3lb claim negates the majority of that and it would be no surprise were he to follow up. Recon Mission could have a say, while Mamillius is not without a chance either.
Prediction : 1st Mellys Flyer 2nd Bobby On The Beat 3rd Recon Mission

THEREHEGOES (second) is 2lb well in having been narrowly denied by Perfect Symphony here eight days ago and, with the latter now competing under a 4lb penalty, it would be no surprise were he to reverse that form. A winner over C&D last month, Battle Point can mount another serious challenge, while Grandfather Tom, who drops back into 0-60 company, cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Therehegoes 2nd Perfect Symphony 3rd Battle Point

The key to this race looks to be last month's clash between Flower Of Dubai (first) and GRAND PROVIDENCE (third) at Kempton. Andrew Balding's filly is 7lb better off here though and is duly taken to overturn that form with the extra furlong to suit. Runner-up on both career outings, Edge Of Ember can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Grand Providence 2nd Flower Of Dubai 3rd Edge Of Ember

SOVEREIGN SPIRIT got off the mark in stylish fashion over C&D last week and a 6lb penalty for that win may not be enough to stop him going in again. This will only be the three-year-old's seventh career outing and he gets the vote ahead of handicap-debutant Pledgeofallegiance and Fishing Rights, who has plenty of potential on his first try at this distance.
Prediction : 1st Sovereign Spirit 2nd Pledgeofallegiance 3rd Fishing Rights
