UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

MY LOUISE impressed when getting up late on to score on her debut at Fontwell last month and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to stop this talented mare from following up. Gallant Approach was pitched in at the deep end on his debut at Cheltenham in January and better can be expected here, while Head Over Hinds is another open to improvement. Jasper Boy and Juri look to be the pick of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st My Louise 2nd Juri 3rd Gallant Approach

This can go the way of JEUNE BELLE, who finished in the first four twice in Listed bumpers last season and could be a smart novice hurdler for the Lucy Wadham stable. The five-year-old should have conditions to have suit and she is narrowly preferred to Royal Athena, who has a 7lb penalty to overcome for her victory at Fakenham last month. Bleue Verte and Madam Ryder are entitled to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Jeune Belle 2nd Royal Athena 3rd Madam Ryder

This can go the way of FOXEY, who ran a race full of promise on his chase debut at Huntingdon in October when staying on for second. A winner over hurdles on his penultimate start at Newton Abbot, the eight-year-old should be suited by dropping back in distance and he gets the vote ahead of the returning Tommy Dillion and Millies Mite, who ran with credit at Fakenham last time out.
Prediction : 1st Foxey 2nd Tommy Dillion 3rd Millies Mite

BIRDMAN BOB opened his account on his reappearance at Plumpton last month and the six-year-old won with enough in hand that day to suggest that he could overcome a 6lb rise in the ratings here. Clongowes looked set to shed his maiden tag in this sphere before falling at the last at Newton Abbot in May and the son of New Approach warrants respect on his stable debut. Chandlers Bay and Celtic Ned are also worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Birdman Bob 2nd Clongowes 3rd Chandlers Bay

FAIRWAY FREDDY's stamina appeared stretched by the extended 2m7f trip when weakening into third at Huntingdon last month and compensation could await on this return to 2m4f. Moonlighter is entitled to build on his fifth-placed seasonal bow at Chepstow in October, with Kai Lenihan claiming a useful 8lb, and Kim Bailey's charge is one to consider on this drop into class 4 company. Mr Muldoon could also get involved if on a going day.
Prediction : 1st Fairway Freddy 2nd Moonlighter 3rd Mr Muldoon

Joker De Mai won over fences during his time in France and was far from disgraced when fourth in a decent novice hurdle on his British/stable debut last month. With possibly more to offer, he rates as a big player here. However, KANSAS DU BERLAIS is also open to progression and, with the form of his fourth-placed finish last time being boosted by the winner going in again at Sandown on Saturday, the signs are positive for another big run. Colonial Empire and Rocco Royale complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Kansas Du Berlais 2nd Joker De Mai 3rd Colonial Empire

Just half a length separated FELTON BELLEVUE (second) and Heaven Smart (third) in a similar race over this course and distance 11 days ago but the former finished the better of the two on that occasion and can uphold the form despite, being 1lb worse off at the weights. Art Decco and Airtothethrone are a couple of others with the ability to figure, with the first-named suggested as one to claim third spot on this occasion.
Prediction : 1st Felton Bellevue 2nd Heaven Smart 3rd Art Decco
