UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Monsieur Fantaisie hinted at a return to form with a close second at Southwell 20 days ago and is likely to be on the premises if he builds on that effort, while Hard Solution commands respect back in a race of this nature. However, RED WALLS has shown zest in his most recent starts and, having landed a handicap at Southwell on his penultimate outing, he is difficult to ignore at this level.
Prediction : 1st Red Walls 2nd Monsieur Fantaisie 3rd Hard Solution

Consistency isn't a strong point for most of these and only a speculative vote goes the way of UNIVERSAL GRACE, in the hope that she can build on last month's respectable third-placed finish in a 0-55-rated handicap here. Given this looks a weaker race, the Stuart Williams-trained filly may have been found a reasonable opportunity to finally double her career tally. Bear To Dream rates the biggest threat to the selection, with Coast and Jacquelina a couple of others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Universal Grace 2nd Bear To Dream 3rd Coast

ALL AGLEAM heads the shortlist based on her previous reliability and, having been well supported in the betting when a close-up third over this course and distance last time, she is worth chancing from just 1lb higher now she has proven this trip is within her capacity. Enpassant has been equally consistent and rates the biggest threat to the selection, while The Ferret, a winner over 1m here last month, is also respected on his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st All Agleam 2nd Enpassant 3rd The Ferret

LASER SHARP finished midfield on each of his three efforts in maidens, including when sent off at big odds for the latest of those displays when fifth over 7f at Wolverhampton. The son of Lightning Spear has undergone a wind operation since and looks to be the type who may have been saved for the handicapping ranks, so he might be the one to be with. The main danger might be Desert Raider, who didn't run as well as expected when fourth in his bid for a 7f double at Chelmsford last time but the step up to a mile and first-time cheekpieces could spark some improvement. Ventura Empress completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Laser Sharp 2nd Desert Raider 3rd Ventura Empress

MAYSAN wasn't disgraced in third when competing in a class 3 event over 7f at Wolverhampton last time and the handicapper may have been kind to drop her 2lb for that performance. The daughter of Siyouni could improve for the step up in distance and capitalise on this drop in grade. Fox Power looks like an interesting recruit to the Michael Appleby stable and it would be no surprise to see him get involved, while Lady Lavina outran her huge odds over 7f here on her latest outing and is another to note off a 2lb lower mark.
Prediction : 1st Maysan 2nd Fox Power 3rd Lady Lavina

PINK LILY had Shalfa (fifth) behind when scoring by a length over C&D on her latest outing and she was only put up 2lb for that success. The daughter of Sixties Icon is well drawn in stall one and has lots in her favour, so she is taken to complete a double. That said, the latter could get closer with a clearer run and with the application of a first-time visor, while Fast Affair is in solid form and could also get involved.
Prediction : 1st Pink Lily 2nd Shalfa 3rd Fast Affair

SEE THAT STORM justified strong support in the betting market when making a winning debut over C&D last month. Andrew Balding's charge likely has more to offer and, with that experience under his belt, he's fancied to maintain his unbeaten record by landing this contest. Lavender Hill Mob offered more encouragement with a fifth-placed finish over this track and trip in October and he is feared most, ahead of Bint Havana Gold.
Prediction : 1st See That Storm 2nd Lavender Hill Mob 3rd Bint Havana Gold

MR TRICK found himself with too much to do when a never-nearer fourth over C&D on his most recent outing and compensation could await today, racing off the same mark. Placated is only 1lb higher than for her close-up second at this venue last month and the six-year-old should give another good account of herself. Upepo and Alghazaal also arrive in good form and they are unlikely to be far away either.
Prediction : 1st Mr Trick 2nd Placated 3rd Upepo

THE CONQUEROR appeared to relish a return to this distance when scoring with a bit in hand at this venue last time out. A 3lb rise looks more than fair for Jim Boyle's gelding and a double could be in the offing. Louisiana Bay is unexposed over this trip and she arrives in good heart, having finished a half-length second at Wolverhampton last month. The five-year-old may give the selection most to think about, although Curtiz and Pysanka could also make their presence felt.
Prediction : 1st The Conqueror 2nd Louisiana Bay 3rd Curtiz
