UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

A return to an artificial surface looks set to suit HARRY THE HAGGLER, who struggled over a mile at Windsor on his most recent run in April. He was second over C&D on his penultimate run and Stuart Williams' inmate must be of interest. Intoxicata remains unexposed and switches to Polytrack for her handicap debut, so any market support should not be ignored, along with Poppaea stepping up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Harry The Haggler 2nd Intoxicata 3rd Poppaea

PACKARD kept on well for second over this trip at Goodwood on his debut last month and the son of Mehmas left a strong impression that he could build on that here. Starlust is well related and should not be underestimated on his racecourse bow, while Point Of Attack and Give It Up are other newcomers who merit places on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Packard 2nd Starlust 3rd Point Of Attack

Only narrowly denied over C&D last Thursday, it is hard to oppose the progressive VICTORS DREAM off the same mark and Marco Botti's inmate is fancied to break his maiden at the sixth time of asking. Alainn Tu struggled over an extended 5f at Bath last month but is feared 3lb above her last winning mark, along with the unexposed Morboka on her handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Victors Dream 2nd Alainn Tu 3rd Morboka

DARK KESTREL returned to action with a bang at Doncaster last time, following gelding and wind operations. A mark of 80 could easily underestimate his potential ability and he could be one to follow through the handicap ranks. Lulworth Cove has to be respected on the back of her runner-up effort at Haydock and she could be dangerous off the same mark, while She's Centimental may be a player if bouncing back.
Prediction : 1st Dark Kestrel 2nd Lulworth Cove 3rd Shes Centimental

Mary Of Modena made all to strike by just under a length last time at Windsor and she has been put up 4lb for that display, which may not be enough to prevent her from going well once again. However, a chance can be taken on SPARKED, who was caught wide last time over C&D. If she can bring the form of her penultimate run to the table, the four-year-old could be the one to beat, while Mick's Spirit completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Sparked 2nd Mary Of Modena 3rd Micks Spirit

GREEK GIANT has raised his game when switched to handicaps in April. Dropped into a classified contest for the first time here, he's favoured on these terms and is taken to strike for the in-form Ed Dunlop team. Asense remains open to improvement and is interesting with talented apprentice Harry Davies aboard, while Alioski, whose latest success came at Southwell in November, should not be underestimated on his seasonal return.
Prediction : 1st Greek Giant 2nd Asense 3rd Alioski

GLENISTER showed the benefit of recent wind surgery when making all to win over 1m2f here three days ago. The gelded son of Gleneagles should continue to progress and, with similar tactics likely to be employed from stall one, he can shrug off a 5lb penalty. Lunar Shadow, who was narrowly denied at Chelmsford last month, appeals as his most likely danger, while Beautiful Crown completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Glenister 2nd Lunar Shadow 3rd Beautiful Crown
