UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

BUCKSY DES EPEIRES recorded some useful form when racing in France and the four-year-old may be able to open his account now under the tutelage of the in-form Venetia Williams. Illico De Cotte was an easy winner of his sole point-to-point in Ireland and the son of Kitkou warrants respect entering this sphere for leading connections. Tintagel Queen finished second in a Chepstow bumper in March and is another to consider on her hurdles debut.
Prediction : 1st Bucksy Des Epeires 2nd Illico De Cotte 3rd Tintagel Queen

Ya Know Yaseff arrives in good heart and David Pipe's mare makes more appeal than most. However, the drop in trip to 2m4f might leave the daughter of Jet Away vulnerable, with PRESENTING A QUEEN shading the vote. The six-year-old should have learned plenty from her chase debut when third at Wincanton last month and any natural improvement for that reappearance could make her tough to pass. Artemis Kimbo and Lady Of The Night are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Presenting A Queen 2nd Ya Know Yaseff 3rd Artemis Kimbo

SAO CARLOS was a strongly supported favourite when he made a winning debut in a bumper at Market Rasen and the five-year-old is a highly appealing option, with in-form Sean Bowen booked for the ride on his hurdling debut. Former point-to-pointer Aworkinprogress, a 92,000 euro-purchase, is also considered on his introduction under Rules, while Colours On Canvas also commands respect on his first run for a new yard.
Prediction : 1st Sao Carlos 2nd Colours On Canvas 3rd Aworkinprogress

Proven over the trip and with the ground in his favour, GIT MAKER, who has won five of his eight previous races under Rules, is hard to oppose at this level and is taken to expand on his progressive profile. The selection's stablemate Super Survivor has adapted well to chasing and is feared most, while Morning Spirit is not ruled out given he has plenty of experience in this discipline and could very easily exploit any weakness show by Jamie Snowden's pair on their seasonal reappearances.
Prediction : 1st Git Maker 2nd Super Survivor 3rd Morning Spirit

A facile winner of a conditional riders' race at Sandown nine days ago, OPERATION MANNA has a lot going for him on these terms and, given he gets weight from the rest, a quick follow-up success is a distinct possibility, especially with Cameron Iles pitching in with his 7lb claim. Benassi showed promise last season and is dangerous to underestimate despite being pulled up on his return at Chepstow last month, while Rocky Man is not dismissed with blinkers tried for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Operation Manna 2nd Benassi 3rd Rocky Man

GOOD TIME AHEAD sprang a 22/1 surprise when scoring at Fakenham last week and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him following up if he arrives in the same mood today. There is every chance of that, given he is a previous C&D winner, but Tara Iti and One Last Glance should be ready to pounce if the selection fluffs his lines.
Prediction : 1st Good Time Ahead 2nd Tara Iti 3rd One Last Glance

Kyntara has the form to go well off what looks a very workable mark, but he returns from a layoff and this looks like a good opportunity for WOODIE FLASH to complete a double. Olly Murphy's five-year-old made the most of a drop in class when running out a very easy winner over 3m2f at Warwick earlier in the month and although he has gone up 10lb for that, this doesn't look any tougher and a repeat performance should suffice. Young Merlin rates best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Woodie Flash 2nd Kyntara 3rd Young Merlin
