UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Fresh from her exploits riding in Japan, Hollie Doyle can sound a timely reminder of her worth in the saddle as she is reunited with ABBEY'S DREAM (second), who appeals strongly based on recent form. The selection had plenty in hand over Thapa VC (seventh) when they encountered each other at Wolverhampton last month and has a live chance of cementing the form, despite her old rival's return to form with a cosy win off 3lb lower at Southwell nine days ago. Arctician is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Abbeys Dream 2nd Thapa VC 3rd Arctician

ROCKSTAR ICON made a now 85-rated rival pull out all the stops at Haydock when he was last seen in June and is worth chancing on his return to action. Now gelded, the son of Sixties Icon is hardly overfaced for his all-weather debut and, with David Probert booked to do the steering, everything is in place for a nice confidence booster ahead of future opportunities when he switches to handicaps. Different Breed and Rey De La Batalla are a couple of others to monitor in the betting, too.
Prediction : 1st Rockstar Icon 2nd Different Breed 3rd Rey De La Batalla

Chagall (winner) and STAR OF EPSOM (second) are closely matched based on their encounter over 1m2f here last month and, while the former commands respect, the latter looks worth chancing in his bid to turn the form around. Doing his best work near the finish in that aforementioned race, the selection may be the better equipped of the two to cope with this longer trip and has won here since. Last-time-out winners Lost In Time and Angel On High complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Star Of Epsom 2nd Chagall 3rd Lost In Time

Tyrrhenian Sea, runner-up in the Group 3 Winter Derby over C&D earlier in the year, boasts obvious claims after again going close in a Listed race here last month, but his losing run has now stretched to 10 and BASE NOTE may have his measure. The Crisford-trained four-year-old notched a fifth all-weather win on his return from a break at Chelmsford last month and suggested he was still on the upgrade when third over 1m4f in Listed company at Kempton earlier in the month (Blanchard behind in fourth). Back over 1m2f and on a track which has yielded two wins from three attempts, he should take some stopping.
Prediction : 1st Base Note 2nd Tyrrhenian Sea 3rd Blanchland

An open-looking contest but any value may lie with former Aidan O'Brien inmate POP STAR, who has shaped with mild encouragement in two 5f runs for Alice Haynes following wind surgery. The combination of first-time cheekpieces and a step up to 6f could see him in a better light and, if that is the case, a mark of 79 looks exploitable. Star Of Lady M finished just in front of the selection last time and remains one to be interested in along with Clipsham La Habana, who returned to form with a fine second at Newcastle last time. Seven-time course winner Count Otto is always dangerous to dismiss here but a wide draw tempers enthusiasm.
Prediction : 1st Pop Star 2nd Star Of Lady M 3rd Clipsham La Habana

Last-time-out winner TILSWORTH ONY TA proved a different proposition under more positive tactics at Chelmsford recently and a 6lb rise in the ratings may not prevent him from completing a double. Boom Boom Pow returned to form with a solid second over 7f here last Saturday and Mark Usher's filly would be feared most if proving as effective over 6f. Miss Moonshine and I'm Mable are also worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Tilsworth Ony Ta 2nd Boom Boom Pow 3rd Miss Moonshine

GLAMOROUS EXPRESS overcame a troubled passage when landing the spoils here last month. A 2lb rise looks more than fair and the four-year-old could still be ahead of the handicapper. Maharajas Express has hit some form since joining Jack Jones and he cannot be taken lightly racing off only 3lb higher than his recent Wolverhampton triumph. Fellow in-form rivals Bang On The Bell and Boom The Groom should also make their presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Glamorous Express 2nd Maharajas Express 3rd Bang On The Bell
