UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

ARTISAN DANCER has been unlucky to hit the crossbar on each of his last three outings, including over C&D last time for which he was put up 1lb. The son of Mastercraftsman looks well placed to go one better and record his fourth career victory. Tamaris hit the frame over 1m4f here on his latest outing and could easily have a say as he steps back up in trip off the same mark, while Alpine Stroll is an interesting contender on his first start for the Alexandra Dunn yard.
Prediction : 1st Artisan Dancer 2nd Tamaris 3rd Alpine Stroll

Dashing Darcey beat L'Eagle Aid (third) by over four lengths over C&D earlier in the month and it's hard to imagine that form will be overturned. However, the vote goes to CHARACTER TESTING, who has filled the runner-up spot on each of his three career starts to date and he now takes a step up in distance, which can eke out the improvement needed to get off the mark. Any market confidence behind Belarmindar on her debut would also be of interest.
Prediction : 1st Character Testing 2nd Dashing Darcey 3rd Belarmindar

CLEAR STORM showed her greenness on debut by being slowly away from the stalls, but she shaped well to finish midfield and she would have learned a great deal from that experience. The daughter of Storm The Stars could take a big step forward to shed her maiden tag at the second time of asking. Rosy Kiss could also improve a lot from her first outing at Kempton, while Lightning Bay is worth a market check on his debut.
Prediction : 1st Clear Storm 2nd Rosy Kiss 3rd Lightning Bay

TIARAQUEEN made a very pleasing start to her career when second over 7f at Kempton and she can go one better. William Haggas' charge ran into a more experienced, well-fancied rival on that occasion and any amount of improvement can be expected from this daughter of Kingman. Moonfire is feared most after being well backed on her first racecourse start over 6f at Wolverhampton and she appears likely to be seen to better effect this time, while John and Thady Gosden's newcomer Divine Presence is one to watch.
Prediction : 1st Tiaraqueen 2nd Moonfire 3rd Divine Presence

A tentative vote is for EM JAY KAY, who was only beaten a neck despite being fourth over 6f at Southwell last time. Off the same mark, Phil McEntee's charge looks primed to offer another bold bid. Impeach should also be thereabouts after running on well to get up late over 6f at Chelmsford last month and a 2lb rise in the ratings doesn't appear severe, while Sixties Chic is also likely to be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Em Jay Kay 2nd Impeach 3rd Sixties Chic

EDMUND IRONSIDE was only beaten a neck into second over C&D last time and this looks a good opportunity to go one better. Michael Attwater's charge was only collared on the line on that occasion by a very well backed rival, and a reproduction of that performance off the same mark will make him tough to beat. So Chic is feared most after a narrow win over 7f at this track last time, while Split Elevens should also get involved.
Prediction : 1st Edmund Ironside 2nd So Chic 3rd Split Elevens

RED TREASURE posted a respectable second at Wolverhampton last month and Ed Dunlop's filly must hold every chance now that Morgan Cole's 5lb claim can be put into use. The three-year-old is effectively racing off a 4lb lower mark and a third career success could be on the horizon. The downgraded Avon Light has posted creditable efforts in defeat of late and she is feared most, ahead of stable debutant Ninth Life.
Prediction : 1st Red Treasure 2nd Avon Light 3rd Ninth Life

Star Of Epsom gained a fourth C&D victory when landing the spoils here earlier in the month and a 3lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid from the daughter of Sir Percy. However, she may be worth taking on drawn wide in stall 11, with SUNSET IN PARIS shading the verdict. The selection has been knocking on the door of late and a well-deserved first success looks a distinct possibility. Uther Pendragon and The Conqueror are noted too.
Prediction : 1st Sunset In Paris 2nd Star Of Epsom 3rd Uther Pendragon
