UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

WOLFSPEAR continues to go from strength and strength and a 4lb rise for his most recent success at Uttoxeter could prove lenient as he looks to make it three wins in his four starts since returning from the sidelines. Heavy ground will hold no fears and he is readily preferred to Ito Ditto, who drops in grade having pulled up in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury. Bataillon has yet to put it together since moving to the UK, but cannot be ruled out.
Prediction : 1st Wolfspear 2nd Ito Ditto 3rd Bataillon

An impressive winner at Taunton last week, JUNIPER is turned out again quickly under a 7lb penalty and the step up in trip can eke out further improvement as she looks to follow up on just her third start for Anthony Honeyball. That may be at the main expense of Huntingdon scorer Fortunefavorsdbold, although Eureka Creek has dropped to a mark 1lb lower than her last success so has to be taken seriously.
Prediction : 1st Juniper 2nd Fortunefavorsdbold 3rd Eureka Creek

HOME FREE arguably ran a career best when not beaten far over further here last month, and the drop in trip should suit as Dan Skelton's charge aims to get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. Kilbarry Hill has similar claims after a promising third at Plumpton, whereas Wee Tony has to rediscover some of his bumper form.
Prediction : 1st Home Free 2nd Kilbarry Hill 3rd Wee Tony

Everything looks in place for HUNTER LEGEND to run a massive race providing a late fall at Wetherby hasn't knocked his confidence. Venetia Williams has been among the winners of late and her seven-year-old should handle the forecast bottomless ground. Lazy Sunday was still in contention when coming to grief here 12 days ago and she must be respected, while Fontwell scorer Valirann Gold adds further spice to the race off bottom weight.
Prediction : 1st Hunter Legend 2nd Lazy Sunday 3rd Valirann Gold

Movethechains is attractively handicapped over the smaller obstacles and must enter calculations, while How And Ever and Hill Of Tara are other names to note. However, the obvious pick is MAJOR FORTUNE, who has won his last four outings, including twice here in testing conditions. A further 6lb rise in the ratings will obviously make life a lot tougher but he looks up to the task.
Prediction : 1st Major Fortune 2nd Movethechains 3rd How And Ever

Schelem is an interesting runner on only his third career outing, but this could develop into a match between last-time-out winners COPPER COVE and Pickanumber. The former benefits from the 10lb claim of Ben Macey, who impressed when recording his first career victory aboard the seven-year-old at Fontwell last month, and he shades the verdict ahead of Olly Murphy's Catterick scorer.
Prediction : 1st Copper Cove 2nd Pickanumber 3rd Schelem
