UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

RISING FORCE had Dire Wolf (fourth) and Danehill Star (fifth) behind when staying on strongly at the finish to be beaten just under a length into third over a mile at Kempton earlier in the month. The son of Mehmas remains on the same mark and could improve for the step up in distance to record his second career victory. Magnificentforce is an interesting contender on his handicap/stable debut in first-time blinkers.
Prediction : 1st Rising Force 2nd Dire Wolf 3rd Magnificentforce

GOLDSMITH successfully completed the double when accounting for his nearest rival by a length at Southwell on Thursday and can go in again despite shouldering a 5lb penalty. Inverlochy is in cracking form, as she has filled the top two places on each of her last three starts, winning twice, so she should be bang there. Of the remainder, last-time-out winner Landlordtothestars makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Goldsmith 2nd Inverlochy 3rd Landlordtothestars

A Pint Of Bear is likely to have his supporters after making every yard of the running at Wolverhampton earlier in the month, and it would be no surprise to see him get involved off 4lb higher. However, preference is for COUNSEL, who is the type his trainer Michael Appleby does well with and he has more than enough class to suggest he can strike off his current mark. Kessaar Power warrants a market check in a first-time hood.
Prediction : 1st Counsel 2nd A Pint Of Bear 3rd Kessaar Power

Jenni looks best of the experienced runners, having run well both sides of the Irish Sea, while Biographer and Salaamaat also have some solid efforts under their belts. They don't set the bar overly high, however, so a chance is taken on George Boughey's newcomer ROSY AFFAIR. The Havana Grey filly cost 115,000gns as a yearling and she is certainly bred for the job, being a full-sister to Listed sprint winner Cuban Mistress.
Prediction : 1st Rosy Affair 2nd Jenni 3rd Biographer

Our Melody posted an improved performance on her handicap debut and she is likely to be in the firing line again, but VIA BLANCA edges the vote. She looks the most solid option following a string of win and placed efforts and another bold bid beckons. Sea Of Angels' last couple of performances haven't been devoid of promise and she rates best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Via Blanca 2nd Our Melody 3rd Sea Of Angels

NIGHT ON EARTH was far from disgraced in a 0-88 contest at Wolverhampton eight days ago, and Ian Williams' charge, who looks extremely well treated judged on past exploits, could get back on track at this lower level. Em Jay Kay hit the woodwork on his latest outing and is unlikely to be far away off an unchanged mark, while Harb appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Night On Earth 2nd Em Jay Kay 3rd Harb

CHAGALL was able to defy market weakness and complete a double over 1m4f here on New Year's Eve and a subsequent 3lb rise might not prevent Jack Jones' in-form gelding from landing the hat-trick. Pink Lily, who hit the woodwork over C&D last time, might be the main danger, though Masqool continues to fall down the weights and should not be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Chagall 2nd Pink Lily 3rd Masqool
