UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Having won three of his last five starts, CEPHALUS heads the shortlist despite picking up a 5lb penalty for his most recent success. The Gary Moore-trained gelding was treated for stomach ulcers before his upturn in form began over this course and distance in December, and he hasn't looked back. Taravara (second) was just a head behind the selection at Kempton last month and rates the chief danger with a 6lb pull at the weights. Eddie Temple is the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Cephalus 2nd Taravara 3rd Eddie Temple

SUNBLOCK has been a well-backed favourite in each of her last two starts and, following a winning start for the George Boughey yard at Wolverhampton, she was unlucky in running when attempting to follow up at Newcastle 15 days ago. Off the same mark, the lightly-raced daughter of Too Darn Hot is worth another chance. Gogo Yubari (winner) and Unavailable (second) are closely matched based on their encounter over 5f here in January and are suggested as the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Sunblock 2nd Gogo Yubari 3rd Unavailable

DUBAI HILLS holds an edge over most of these in terms of both experience and match-fitness. A respectable third in handicap at Newcastle earlier in the month, which was his first race since being gelded, this son of Adaay has to be of interest back in a maiden and, with that run under his belt, this could be the time to catch Amy Murphy's charge. Ethandun sets the standard based on last year's turf form, while the unexposed No Half Measures is also respected.
Prediction : 1st Dubai Hills 2nd Ethandun 3rd No Half Measures

The class-dropping BRADMAN went close to making all over 1m4f at Newcastle last week and, off an unchanged mark easing in trip, he holds standout claims to make every yard a winning one from a handy draw. Jailbird shaped with some promise on her handicap debut over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last month, running on into fourth place late on, and, upped in distance, she can give the selection most to think about. Night Safari can also get involved.
Prediction : 1st Bradman 2nd Jailbird 3rd Night Safari

MARION'S BOY scored a shade cosily over 1m2f at Chelmsford last month under this rider, and the suspicion is that a 3lb rise may not be enough to stop him following up in what looks a winnable contest on paper. Tribal Wisdom has run solid races in defeat on his last two outings, both over C&D, but he is a habitual keen-racer and comes with risks attached. Semser is capable and, 1lb below his last winning mark, he looks weighted to strike if on a going day.
Prediction : 1st Marions Boy 2nd Tribal Wisdom 3rd Semser

Northcliff has to be of interest having finally got off the mark at Wolverhampton last month, but a 5lb rise will make life tougher for him here. With that in mind, preference is for DARLO PRIDE, who has made the frame in both starts since winning over 5f also at Wolverhampton in February. Others to note are Alafdhal, Come On Girl and Harb.
Prediction : 1st Darlo Pride 2nd Northcliff 3rd Alafdhal

KONDRATIEV WAVE bounced back to form when a close second over a mile here last month and the drop in trip could help him to go one better off the same mark. Revolucion also hit the crossbar on his most recent outing and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Intoxicata and Twilight Dancer.
Prediction : 1st Kondratiev Wave 2nd Revolucion 3rd Intoxicata

NO TURNING BACK made an encouraging return from a 131-day break when third over 7f at Kempton recently and she could be hard to stop with the benefit of that outing. Kitaab failed to fire last time but can be given another chance based on his two previous performances, while Bell Shot edges out So Chic to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st No Turning Back 2nd Kitaab 3rd Bell Shot
