UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

A taking winner at Yarmouth last time out on just his third run for new connections, SIR JOSEPH SWAN is open to further improvement going back up in trip and a 3lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him from following up. Runner-up on three of his last four starts, Iconic Mover can give him the most to think about, while Chelmsford runner-up Team Endeavour is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Sir Joseph Swan 2nd Iconic Mover 3rd Team Endeavour

It is difficult to look past BELO HORIZONTE, who arrives on the back of a pair of easy successes at Yarmouth and on the turf track here recently. A career-high mark of 57 will make life tougher, but he should have too much for Thawg, who is capable but has yet to put it all together at handicap level. Edmund Ironside and Kodi Noir can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Belo Horizonte 2nd Thawg 3rd Edmund Ironside

BRIAR ROSE caught the eye on her debut at Windsor recently, when not getting the clearest of runs about a furlong from home before running on late to grab fifth. With improvement expected on that effort, Ed Dunlop's charge can get off the mark at the main expense of Belle Flora and well-bred newcomer Queen's Music. Aljadel and Gregorina are capable of being in the mix too.
Prediction : 1st Briar Rose 2nd Belle Flora 3rd Queens Music

Thapa VC has a good record on the all-weather with six of his seven career victories, including one here over C&D, coming on a synthetic surface. Although well beaten here last time, he has dropped to the same make as his latest success. Purple Poppy arrives in good form and she could also go well, but George Margarson has his string in fine fettle so IDEAL GUEST could be the one. A winner at Yarmouth last time out, Tom Queally takes over in the saddle and he won off a higher mark last year.
Prediction : 1st Ideal Guest 2nd Thapa VC 3rd Purple Poppy

Make Clear was easy to back despite her promising debut before coming home fifth at Windsor earlier this month, and she could do better back on the all-weather, while Alexi Boy showed some promise when sixth at Leicester. STARSTRIKER is preferred to them both after she returned with a nose second at Windsor when the front two were clear of the third. As that was her first run since May 2022, she is entitled to improve considerably.
Prediction : 1st Starstriker 2nd Make Clear 3rd Alexi Boy

With a distinct lack of recent winning form this looks a wide-open contest that may fall the way of COAST, who was only beaten a neck off 2lb lower at Wolverhampton last time. She could make amends for that now, though Bluebells Boy looks a serious rival. The booking of Jason Watson catches the eye as does the return to six furlongs. Grainne O Maille intrigues ahead of her handicap debut with a first-time hood added.
Prediction : 1st Coast 2nd Bluebells Boy 3rd Grainne O Maille

TOKYO DREAMER sets a clear standard of those with race experience and Stuart Williams' filly could finally come out on top at the eighth time of asking. Checkmeout, a half-sister to the highly-rated Bipartisanship, appears an obvious fly in the ointment and any market support would require close attention. Fernden Wells should have learned plenty from her opening bid at Kempton earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st Tokyo Dreamer 2nd Checkmeout 3rd Fernden Wells
