UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Dutch Kingdom improved to open his account over an extended mile at Wolverhampton last time but this drop back in trip may prevent a follow-up. Thapa VC has shown enough in recent starts to suggest he is a viable alternative but GRENHAM BAY, who is now 5lb below his last winning mark, is preferred having signalled a return to form with a second-placed effort over this trip at Southwell on his latest start.
Prediction : 1st Grenham Bay 2nd Thapa VC 3rd Dutch Kingdom

A really competitive contest on the face of things, though an opening mark of 70 could be underestimating RAVENSBOURNE. Ed Walker's Dutch Art filly, a half-sister to a juvenile all-weather winner, has been crying out for this step up to 7f on the evidence of her three starts to date and could throw up some value, though the likes of All Agleam, Falling For You and John Steed have all shown enough to suggest they have a win in them at this level.
Prediction : 1st Ravensbourne 2nd All Agleam 3rd Falling For You

None of those with racing experience look any great shakes so it should pay to concentrate on the newcomers. Amiwithani and Last Empress are related to a host of winners and have plenty going for them along with Etlalah, but it's KALEIDOSCOPE who really catches the eye on pedigree being a daughter of Kingman out of Group 1 Cheveley Park winner Lightening Pearl.
Prediction : 1st Kaleidoscope 2nd Last Empress 3rd Amiwithani

Completed has been narrowly denied on both of her previous outings and merits the utmost respect once again. That said, marginal preference is for FAIR POINT, who put in a promising display when third on her debut at Newmarket a month ago and the daughter of Farhh should only benefit from that experience. Friendly Soul is a half-sister to three Group 1 winners and has to be of interest on her racecourse bow as a result.
Prediction : 1st Fair Point 2nd Completed 3rd Friendly Soul

LAKOTA SIOUX was a Group 3-winning juvenile and, while she has not matched that level subsequently, her most recent fifth in a Listed race suggests that a mark of 96 should be workable. The unexposed Whispering Words was disappointing on turf at Newmarket last time but it is far too soon to be writing her off. Julia Augusta was only beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Kempton recently and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Lakota Sioux 2nd Whispering Words 3rd Julia Augusta

Intervention and Sterling Knight both merit the utmost respect on the back of recent victories over 7f at Wolverhampton, but a chance can be taken on ARATUS. Clive Cox's five-year-old has only been seen twice so far this year and took a big step forward from his first start when second over this trip at Kempton a month ago. Any further progression would give him a big chance in a race of this nature.
Prediction : 1st Aratus 2nd Intervention 3rd Sterling Knight

MISTRESS LIGHT has taken a while to find herself but recent starts suggest that she is beginning to do just that, and her runner-up effort at Wolverhampton last month appeals as the strongest form on offer. The three-year-old can get off the mark at the sixth time of asking, with the experienced Queensland Boy and Shaheen Saqaar, who ran a promising race at Chelmsford latest, looking best placed to chase her home.
Prediction : 1st Mistress Light 2nd Shaheen Saqaar 3rd Queensland Boy

Now that the penny has dropped for MOORGATE after a taking success over further here last month, there should be more to come from the son of Mastercraftsman. He can uphold form with Darlo Pride (second), who has gone in since at Chelmsford, while Suanni has a 3lb rise to overcome for scoring at the same venue last time out. Big Time Maybe and Street Parade cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Moorgate 2nd Darlo Pride 3rd Suanni
