UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Yorkindness is likely to prove popular after winning a small-field affair at Pontefract last Monday and merits respect. Nevertheless, a 5lb penalty may be enough to prevent Charlie Johnston's filly from completing a double. ANISOPTERA returned to form when denied by a head at Kempton in May and a 1lb rise in the ratings doesn't appear insurmountable. The daughter of Casamento gets the vote, with dual C&D winner Bird For Life making most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Anisoptera 2nd Yorkindness 3rd Bird For Life

QUIET AFFAIR offered plenty to work with when finishing third on her debut at Kempton last month and she looks capable of picking up a race of this nature. Bated Breeze's recent fourth-placed finish at Goodwood has worked out fairly well and he is another who warrants consideration now appearing on the all-weather for the first time. This Time Maybe makes most appeal of the newcomers, with any market support requiring close examination.
Prediction : 1st Quiet Affair 2nd Bated Breeze 3rd This Time Maybe

Lady Of Africa arguably sets the standard of those who have raced, but the Amy Murphy-trained filly will likely need to improve to capitalise here, with first-time blinkers reached for. ELEGANT MADAME, a half-sister to precocious two-year-old winner Summer Sands, could be the way to go, where any market support for the daughter of Inns Of Court would be in her favour. Ventura Empress and She Is A Keeper are other newcomers to note.
Prediction : 1st Elegant Madame 2nd Ventura Empress 3rd She Is A Keeper

A progressive sort last season, winning three out of seven starts, a chance is taken with SEA THE CASPER on his return from a 231-day break. The form of the stable is another plus and he gets the vote ahead of the likes of Kitsune Power, and the unexposed One Night Thunder, who could be well treated off a mark of 93 on his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Sea The Casper 2nd One Night Thunder 3rd Kitsune Power

This can go the way of EGOISTE, who must hold every chance if building on a career-best effort when third at Chelmsford last time out. David Menuisier's charge may have too much for recent C&D third Nivelle's Magic, and Centerstage, who has the services of Oisin Murphy to call upon this time around. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Angel Of Peace, Chagall and Hector Loza.
Prediction : 1st Egoiste 2nd Nivelles Magic 3rd Centerstage

Lumacho has to be of some interest with William Buick riding for the Boughey stable after his third at Nottingham and he could go well, but JUNGLE RUN was so impressive when strolling home at Chelmsford last time out. An added 7lb may not stop him doubling up despite the rise in class, while Harriet's Angel continues to run well without winning and may prove dangerous in first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Jungle Run 2nd Harriets Angel 3rd Lumacho

Skallywag Bay was beaten a neck over a furlong further at Windsor last time and she could take plenty of catching on the front end. However, this may set up the race for ALPINE GIRL, who was given a perfect ride last time to pounce late on over C&D and looks likely to get a decent early pace to attack once again. Destiny's Spirit is another to consider slowly coming down the handicap to a workable mark.
Prediction : 1st Alpine Girl 2nd Skallywag Bay 3rd Destinys Spirit
