UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

MONKMOOR PIP returns to the scene of his debut success nine days ago, where he showed a nice turn of foot to score over this C&D and Hugo Palmer's charge looks to have a good opportunity to make it two wins from two starts with that outing under his belt. Ciara Pearl appears the most obvious threat after getting within a short head of upsetting a long odds-on favourite over 1m at Bath in July and she shaped as though that initial experience was needed. Huda Star weakened late on when sent off favourite for a 1m2f maiden at Chelmsford in June and should be suited by dropping in distance.
Prediction : 1st Monkmoor Pip 2nd Ciara Pearl 3rd Huda Star

SPARKED won this race off a 2lb lower mark last year and looks primed for another bold bid, having returned to form when making all under today's rider at Bath last month. So Sleepy is due to go up 2lb in the future after a close second over this C&D last week (Nordic Glory fourth) and she can go well off the same mark. Rewilding is another to consider following a narrow victory at Wolverhampton 10 days ago but a 6lb penalty leaves him with no margin for error.
Prediction : 1st Sparked 2nd So Sleepy 3rd Rewilding

Milliterries has experience on her side after a couple of respectable efforts on turf in August and must be considered, but Ralph Beckett has his string in good order at present and preference is for his BERNESE. The form of her debut fifth over this trip at Newmarket looks fairly solid, with the third going on to win twice and contest the Rockfel Stakes, and this half-sister to a 6f juvenile winner on the all-weather may appreciate the switch to Polytrack. Noble Galahad cost 50,000 euros as a yearling and could be the pick of the newcomers for a yard among the winners in recent weeks.
Prediction : 1st Bernese 2nd Milliterries 3rd Noble Galahad

TROPICAL AIR is on a roll and even a 12lb penalty might not be enough to prevent Charlie Johnston's charge from making it four wins on the spin. Switching to the all-weather has really helped this juvenile and when the money was down at Newcastle on Monday, another success was forthcoming. It is going to take a big performance to deny him another victory, but keep an eye on Cuban Harry in first-time blinkers and Wolverhampton runner-up Bulldog Drummond.
Prediction : 1st Tropical Air 2nd Cuban Harry 3rd Bulldog Drummond

LABIQA has produced two solid efforts in defeat since switching to handicap company and her time is near. Beaten a length into fourth at Ayr before earning a silver medal at Kempton, it's only a matter of time before she strikes at this level and she lines up here in receipt of weight all round. Inverlochy struggled to land a blow at Newbury but has less on her plate this time, while Tamaluk makes some appeal too.
Prediction : 1st Labiqa 2nd Inverlochy 3rd Tamaluk

DAISY ROOTS is holding her form well at present and looks the safest play in what is a tricky puzzle for punters to solve. She won of soft ground at Ffos Las in July and has done enough on the all-weather recently, most notably when a neck second at Chelmsford last time, to suggest she can strike in this sphere too. Island Native was narrowly denied at Wolverhampton latest and that was arguably his best effort to date. Golden Phase is another to be interested in.
Prediction : 1st Daisy Roots 2nd Island Native 3rd Golden Phase

STARRY EYES finished a close-up fourth over a mile at Chelmsford on her latest outing and she has been left on the same rating for that effort. The seven-year-old takes a step back up in distance and that could eke out the improvement needed to score here. She's A Mirage was victorious on her penultimate start at Wolverhampton and would be a big player if running to that level of form, while Star Of Epsom won over C&D off 2lb lower in June and she is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Starry Eyes 2nd Shes A Mirage 3rd Star Of Epsom

SOMEONE'S WISH and Jimmy Mark are both last-time-out winners and they could fight this one out, with marginal preference for the former as he could have plenty more to come on only his second handicap start. The son of Buratino went in by half a length over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last week and looks capable of defying a 6lb penalty. The latter has a 3lb higher rating to contend with but should go well again, while Crazy Maisie makes the most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Someones Wish 2nd Jimmy Mark 3rd Crazy Maisie

Fox Flame is seeking a hat-trick after her success over 1m5f here last month and she ought to go close once again off only 3lb higher, but the vote goes to the Richard Hughes-trained EMPEROR'S CLOTHES. The three-year-old scored with more to spare than the winning margin suggests on her handicap debut over 1m2f at Chepstow and this step up in trip could spark further improvement, so a 5lb rise may not halt her. Robusto rates the best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Emperors Clothes 2nd Fox Flame 3rd Robusto
