UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Glenister has proven to be capable of more than his most recent showing over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle when last seen in September. However, the hat-trick seeking GALLIMIMUS gets a tentative vote under a 12lb penalty, following two progressive wins at Leicester last week. Billy Loughnane knocks 3lb off the gelding's back with his claim and he still looks the one to beat in an otherwise weak contest. Duveen drops in trip following a decent third at Brighton last month and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Gallimimus 2nd Glenister 3rd Duveen

A comfortable winner over 1m5f at this track last month, a step up in class may not be enough to stop CITIZEN GENERAL securing a double in this contest. The gelded son of Camelot is rated 5lb higher for the aforementioned success, but the fact he kept on to score by two lengths suggests there could be more in the four-year-old's locker. Appier arrives following a creditable third at Newmarket last time out, while Arcadian Friend is another worthy of consideration off a break.
Prediction : 1st Citizen General 2nd Appier 3rd Arcadian Friend

THANKSBUTNOTHANKS showed plenty of promise when finishing three-quarters of a length back in second at Ascot last month, only losing out to a more experienced rival, and the daughter of Ten Sovereigns is fancied to break her maiden here. She is fairly well related and any market support should not be ignored. Last-time-out winner Mariamne rates an obvious danger, while Imperiality holds entries in some useful contests later in the campaign and appears an interesting newcomer.
Prediction : 1st Thanksbutnothanks 2nd Mariamne 3rd Imperiality

GONE was a good winner on her previous outing when scoring over a mile at Carlisle and this slight drop in trip is likely to be the key to unlock more improvement. Charlie Johnston's three-year-old has been raised 2lb for that success and that may prove lenient. Lunario and Hitched both make their handicap bow here and they should be taken seriously based on their relatively kind opening marks.
Prediction : 1st Gone 2nd Lunario 3rd Hitched

DESERT FALCON returns to the track after 219 days off and he would have every chance in this field if returning in the same form. Sir Mark Prescott's charge was a good third over 6f at Chelmsford when last seen, with both the winner and second of that contest going on to frank the form. City Of York is feared most with this drop in trip likely to suit, while Lady Of Anjou should also be noted.
Prediction : 1st Desert Falcon 2nd City Of York 3rd Lady Of Anjou

OLIVIA MARY makes her return to action on a career-low mark as she has returned to previous trainer Lee Carter once more. The daughter of Dark Angel is fancied to go close under George Downing. One to note is Bantry, who was over three lengths clear of the third over a mile at Chepstow last month and can remain competitive off 2lb higher. All Dunn and Blue Collar Lad are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Olivia Mary 2nd Bantry 3rd All Dunn

LIBRA TIGER ran a creditable fifth at Doncaster last time and was dropped 1lb in the weights, which puts him back on his last winning mark. The four-year-old was runner-up when last in this grade at Haydock and he could prove very tough to beat. Michaels Choice (third) had Parisiac (fourth) held by just over three lengths on his latest outing at Salisbury and he is fancied to confirm his superiority, despite the latter only gets a 3lb pull for that meeting.
Prediction : 1st Libra Tiger 2nd Michaels Choice 3rd Parisiac
