UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Last-time-out winners Storymaker and Granary Queen command respect, despite both going up 2lb for their latest exertions. However, the return to 7f could unlock further improvement from SIXTIES CHIC, who has flourished since switching to the all-weather last month. Still of low mileage, the Jack Channon-trained filly was possibly a bit too keen for her own good here last time out, but looks worth chancing given she may settle better over this longer trip.
Prediction : 1st Sixties Chic 2nd Storymaker 3rd Granary Queen

Kodiac Thriller sets a reasonable standard and rates as the pick of those with previous experience. However, WALEEFY, who is a half-brother to both the mighty Baaeed and high-class Hukum among others, has a stellar pedigree and is hard to ignore given his illustrious relatives. William Haggas has a solid record with his newcomers and this son of Night Of Thunder is yet another highly appealing youngster to run for the Newmarket maestro. The betting market should be heeded where fellow debutants Hatadora and Turn Up The Heat are concerned.
Prediction : 1st Waleefy 2nd Kodiac Thriller 3rd Hatadora

FREDS MATE showed battling qualities when he got off the mark in a restricted novice stakes at Newcastle in October and, with the step up trip likely to suit, the son of Gleneagles is open to considerable improvement on his nursery bow. Dunstan showed some ability on the all-weather for his former yard and can also be fancied go well if he adapts to the first-time cheekpieces on his debut run for Barry Brennan. It's Not Risky completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Freds Mate 2nd Dunstan 3rd Its Not Risky

A small field for a contest that may be dominated by TWIRLING as the Crisfords' filly makes her handicap debut carrying top-weight. The winner of two of her three starts at Kempton, she made all the running on her latest outing to come home clear of her rivals and similar tactics may see her follow up. Crystal Casque has won 12 times with five of those on the all-weather, but she needs a career best to win off this mark and Wolverhampton second Measured Moments may prove to be the bigger danger.
Prediction : 1st Twirling 2nd Measured Moments 3rd Crystal Casque

With little recent winning form to work with, this may be best left to COME ON GIRL, four times a course and distance winner and all off higher marks than she suffers here. Admittedly, she was a well-beaten 10th at Thirsk when last seen in May, but she returns from a break and may do better for it. Essme was only beaten a length here off the same mark last month which makes her a very serious danger to all, while Desert Boots has been given a chance by the handicapper to bounce back.
Prediction : 1st Come On Girl 2nd Essme 3rd Desert Boots

Narrowly denied over further at Chelmsford last time out, KESSAAR POWER must hold every chance dropping in trip, and he can end a losing streak dating back to April for previous connections. A winner over C&D on his penultimate start, Darlo Pride must be thereabouts along with Masterclass, who has been running with plenty of credit of late, and One Night Stand.
Prediction : 1st Kessaar Power 2nd Darlo Pride 3rd Masterclass

MR TRICK deservedly regained the winning thread at Chelmsford recently after some strong efforts in defeat, and he can follow up with the rise in distance expected to suit. Similar comments may apply to The Conqueror, who may benefit from his rider's 7lb allowance, while Fravanco is another to consider. Placed on three of his last six starts here, Where's Tom cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Mr Trick 2nd The Conqueror 3rd Fravanco
