UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

CLASSIC MAESTRO successfully recorded a double over the smaller obstacles when scoring by over three and a half lengths over 2m1f at Newcastle last time, and he is now making his chase debut. If Jennie Canidish's gelding can produce that form over fences, he could prove very hard to beat. Brulure Noire can be forgiven his latest effort at Leicester when sent off at odds-on, as he may not have relished conditions, and could bounce back. Of the remainder, Doyouknowwhatimean appeals most.
Prediction : 1st Classic Maestro 2nd Brulure Noire 3rd Doyouknowwhatimean

Point-to-point winner HIDDEN HISTORY ran a race full of promise when hitting the frame at Newbury on his Rules debut and he would have learned a great deal from that experience. He can find enough improvement to shed his maiden tag over hurdles, while Home Free placed in two bumpers before being beaten into third on his hurdles debut at Huntingdon last month. He could progress to get closer, while any market confidence behind the Ben Pauling-trained Scotch On Da Rocks would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Hidden History 2nd Home Free 3rd Scotch On Da Rocks

Even though ANNIE MAGIC was well beaten into third in this grade at Warwick last month, that still looks like the best piece of recent form on offer and she was dropped 1lb. Jeremy Scott's mare also has the combination of a tongue-tie and cheekpieces for the first time and that could eke out more. So Said I's mark continues to drop and, if the first-time blinkers can have the desired effect, she could have a say. Swincombe Fleat takes a drop in grade and can beat Lazy Sunday home for third.
Prediction : 1st Annie Magic 2nd So Said I 3rd Swincombe Fleat

MAJOR FORTUNE was most impressive when landing a hat-trick over C&D earlier this month. A 7lb penalty looks far from insurmountable for the Dan Skelton-trained gelding and he should take all of the beating. San Pedro escapes a penalty for his ready victory in a conditional jockeys' event at Plumpton recently and the seven-year-old isn't taken lightly. Twp Stori could find some improvement now faced with a stiffer test of stamina and he may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Major Fortune 2nd San Pedro 3rd Twp Stori

Galway Mahler appreciated the less-testing conditions when opening his account over fences at Huntingdon last month. Although a 7lb rise in the handicap seems more than fair for that victory, the softer ground here may prove the seven-year-old's undoing. With that in mind, the more solid proposition appears to be the in-form TWENTY TWENTY, who backed up his Wincanton triumph in December with a solid third the following month. C&D scorer Ramore Will could also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Twenty Twenty 2nd Galway Mahler 3rd Ramore Will

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from WISE GUY's handicap bow when weakening into third at Huntingdon earlier this month. An extended 2m3f trip appeared to stretch his stamina that day and compensation could await the five-year-old on this return to 2m. Double Click travelled with a lot more verve in the first-time cheekpieces at Leicester latest and the Flemensfirth gelding may give the selection most to think about. Bridge completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Wise Guy 2nd Double Click 3rd Bridge
