UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Successful over C&D in August, MUSICAL MYSTERY has been a revelation since joining the Ed Dunlop stable, going in twice more, and he can make it four wins in his last six starts as he goes back up to a distance he is unbeaten over. Touched off over track and trip last week, Grenham Bay is a leading contender, as is Band Of Steel, who is also turned out again quickly after a close-up third at Chelmsford.
Prediction : 1st Musical Mystery 2nd Grenham Bay 3rd Band Of Steel

This could be the day that things finally click for GLOVES, having been a shade unlucky on her last two starts when slowly away and staying on late. The booking of Jim Crowley catches the eye and she can overturn form with Mart, who got the better of her at Newcastle and arrives on a hat-trick. Wolverhampton winner Torvar and the unexposed Chapman are expected to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Gloves 2nd Mart 3rd Chapman

STINTINO SUNSET is progressing well and the step up in trip can help eke out further improvement as she attempts to build upon a commanding success at Chelmsford. A 4lb rise looks manageable and she gets the vote ahead of the returning Scarborough Castle and Showlan Spirit, who found only one too strong at Kempton last month. Lost In Time and Placated also need considering.
Prediction : 1st Stintino Sunset 2nd Showlan Spirit 3rd Scarborough Castle

C&D winner LARGO BAY has reached the frame at Kempton the last twice and competes off the same rating as the latest of those efforts. The son of Flintshire has arguably the best current form in this contest and Kieran Shoemark can steer him to victory. Strictly Dreaming was well held over track and trip last month, but a further 3lb drop in the weights and the booking of Jim Crowley suggests she could be ready to put her best foot forward. Sarkha's third at Newcastle makes him another to note.
Prediction : 1st Largo Bay 2nd Strictly Dreaming 3rd Sarkha

INTERVENTION successfully recorded a double when scoring over 7f here, for which he is penalised. The six-year-old takes a step back in distance, which may not cause him too many problems from his good draw, and he is fancied to go in again. Gulliver drops in grade off a 2lb lower rating than his underwhelming seventh at Newcastle so has to enter the equation, along with Way To Dubai, who has his third start for the Charlie Fellowes yard.
Prediction : 1st Intervention 2nd Gulliver 3rd Way To Dubai

RECUERDAME had Deed Pole back in third when securing victory over C&D last month, and the handicapper may have been kind to only raise him 4lb. The seven-year-old could prove very hard to beat at this level. Divine Messenger showed a liking for the application of first-time blinkers to go in over 7f here in March and could have a say on his return to the fray. Aeroplane Mode is another to consider after running into the money at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Recuerdame 2nd Divine Messenger 3rd Aeroplane Mode

NATURE WATCH wasn't quite able to justify warm favouritism when touched off on his belated introduction here last month, but he should take some stopping with that experience to draw on. Wolverhampton debut winner Verbier had excuses for a subsequent flop at Redcar (didn't cope with the deep ground) and remains of interest being an expensively-bought daughter of Frankel. A market move for newcomers Mahboob and Birthday Angel would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Nature Watch 2nd Verbier 3rd Mahboob

None of these are overly-persuasive so it could pay to take a chance on TRIBAL WISDOM finally obliging at the 12th attempt back over a longer trip. Ian Williams' gelding has plummeted in the handicap, but has shaped better than the bare result suggested in each of his last two starts when short of room. Pink Lily won a similar event over C&D with a bit to spare in the summer and should come on for her latest run, while Shalfa is of interest with Taylor Fisher taking off a handy 3lb.
Prediction : 1st Tribal Wisdom 2nd Pink Lily 3rd Shalfa
