UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

The in-form Nubough is likely to be competitive but, given that he hasn't won since December 2021, the seven-year-old carries plenty of risk. With that in mind, HERSILIA may be worth chancing now she reverts to the all-weather on the back of a respectable second at Ffos Las in September. Unexposed over the trip, the selection wasn't beaten far that day and may do better with her stamina now proven. White Mist was fifth in that race but may get closer with Kaiya Fraser's 5lb claim a useful asset.
Prediction : 1st Hersilia 2nd Nubough 3rd White Mist

The well-bred MONFRID found only a rival with experience too good on his debut at Wolverhampton 15 days ago and he could be hard to beat with the benefit of that outing. Secret World won over this trip on the same card and has to be of interest, despite taking on colts and geldings now. Francisco and Pop Noodle are open to improvement and are respected accordingly.
Prediction : 1st Monfrid 2nd Secret World 3rd Francisco

ENPASSANT, who was first past the post but placed second by the at Newcastle last week, can gain quick compensation if he stays out of trouble this time. This longer distance can be a help to the gelding and a bold show is expected with Danny Muscutt retaining the ride. Summit is also a player but lacks previous all-weather experience, so the recent C&D second Royal Tapestry is suggested as a bigger threat to the selection. Quickfire completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Enpassant 2nd Royal Tapestry 3rd Summit

Potapova is a high-class mare at her best but she hasn't won so far this season, although there were encouraging signs when she was second at Newmarket in September. The five-year-old can go well, but it may be worth risking the returning ZELLIE, who makes her all-weather debut on her first start since May. Fourth in the 1000 Guineas last year, she has more than a touch of class about her. Nigiri looks best of the three-year-olds and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Zellie 2nd Potapova 3rd Nigiri

Stamina may be an issue for some of these as the majority step up in trip for this Listed contest, but that does not apply to DIVINE JEWEL. The daughter of Frankel was second over further than this at Chester in September and is forgiven a poor run on a softer surface in the Park Hill on her latest outing. If she isn't at her best, then Greysful Storm is an obvious danger alongside the maiden winner Safety Catch, who could be the surprise package.
Prediction : 1st Divine Jewel 2nd Greysful Storm 3rd Safety Catch

Mamillius has a good record here with four wins to his name, two of which came over this trip, but the veteran could be vulnerable. SHOOT TO KILL can idle once he hits the front, but he stays further than this and the gelding could mow them down late on. Last month's Chelmsford second Sir Oliver and seven-furlong specialist Bowman might compete for the minor placing.
Prediction : 1st Shoot To Kill 2nd Mamillius 3rd Sir Oliver

ARLECCHINO'S GIFT went close at Chelmsford on his penultimate start, when denied by a neck, before following that effort up with a fourth at the same venue last month. This appears to be an excellent opportunity for the four-year-old to get back to winning ways. A repeat of Moveonup's second at Chelmsford in September would give him every chance of being in the mix, while Bungle Bay is capable of bouncing back from his recent displays.
Prediction : 1st Arlecchinos Gift 2nd Moveonup 3rd Bungle Bay

DARLO PRIDE rewarded connections by finally shedding the maiden tag at Chelmsford in September following a string of consistent performances. A 3lb rise doesn't appear to be particularly harsh and the son of Outstrip gets the vote to back that victory up. Tilsworth Ony Ta continues to hold his form and is respected along with Moorgate, who could get closer if breaking on terms unlike when fourth over C&D last time.
Prediction : 1st Darlo Pride 2nd Tilsworth Ony Ta 3rd Moorgate

SHALFA has improved for the application of blinkers and is the percentage call following a decent effort in defeat at Chelmsford last month. Doras Tamar is an interesting newcomer to the handicap ranks with leading young rider Billy Loughnane back in the plate, while Goldsmith has held his form since returning in the summer and holds possibilities off top weight.
Prediction : 1st Shalfa 2nd Doras Tamar 3rd Goldsmith
