UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Already a five-time course and distance winner, MICK'S SPIRIT seems to come alive at this venue and the Conrad Allen-trained gelding ticks too many boxes to be ignored. The recent Wolverhampton third Thismydream looks to be a big player with the irrepressible Simon Walker in the saddle, while Confederation is another who makes the shortlist from the foot of the handicap.
Prediction : 1st Micks Spirit 2nd Thismydream 3rd Confederation

This moderate event presents UNAVAILABLE with a golden opportunity to register a first career win. The Chelsea Banham-trained three-year-old arrives on the back of three respectable placed efforts under Joey Haynes and, having just been mugged near the line in a deeper race over C&D 16 days ago, is hard to oppose in this weaker company. Smooth Silesie is feared most, having shown promise since joining her current yard, while the unexposed Ten O'clock completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Unavailable 2nd Smooth Silesie 3rd Ten Oclock

The handicapper has taken no chances with ALJEZUR, but the son of Galileo Gold showed stacks of promise in his four previous starts and can score on his handicap debut. Assuming he handles the sharp nature of this course, stepping up to a mile could bring about improvement from the selection. Sennockian is the biggest danger given his Newcastle success was well advertised when the third won next time. Handicap debutant Reveal is the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Aljezur 2nd Sennockian 3rd Reveal

SAVANNAH SMILES fared best of those held up when fourth over C&D last week and she can make a bold bid for the gold medal here. Neptune Legend won over 7f here last time and can make his presence felt once again, although his draw could have been kinder. I'm Mable should appreciate this step back up to 6f and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Savannah Smiles 2nd Neptune Legend 3rd Im Mable

Hystery Bere posted a laboured effort over fences at Newbury last month but, off what looks a workable Flat mark, he can make his presence felt on his return to this sphere. However, THE BUNT is unexposed and looks a more solid proposition. Simon Pearce's gelding arrives on the back of an excellent second on his first try over 2m and up 3lb, he may be tough to stop. The Craftymaster was last seen scoring over C&D earlier this month and he can make his presence felt, although a 4lb rise may make life tougher for him.
Prediction : 1st The Bunt 2nd Hystery Bere 3rd The Craftymaster

SOVEREIGN KNIGHT produced his best performance to date when filling the runner-up spot over 7f here last month. Given the fact he weakened late on that day, the drop to 6f could suit, with the addition of first-time cheekpieces another potential source of improvement. Kento, who hit the frame at Chelmsford a month ago, looks the most likely threat. Radiant Angel warrants close inspection in the betting ahead of his racecourse bow.
Prediction : 1st Sovereign Knight 2nd Kento 3rd Radiant Angel

The vote goes to MOON OVER THE SEA, who was on target in handicap company at Wolverhampton last month. He's favoured on these terms, especially when taking into account Jack Doughty's 7lb claim, so the five-year-old can repeat the dose. Following wind surgery, Tawtheef finished a creditable second in a similar C&D event when last seen. If Patrick Chamings' charge can take another step forward he's unlikely to be far away, along with Forever Proud, who was behind him in third that day.
Prediction : 1st Moon Over The Sea 2nd Tawtheef 3rd Forever Proud
