UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Stablemates FULLFORWARD (second) and Largo Bay (third) finished full of running when they clashed over this trip at Kempton in February and, while the former is 3lb better off at the weights, the latter can still uphold the form given that was a much more encouraging effort. The selection, who endured a luckless run when the pair previously met over 1m5f here on his penultimate start, handles this course well and can again fend off his old adversary with William Carson retaining the ride. Gilbert and Night Bear complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Fullforward 2nd Largo Bay 3rd Gilbert

Last seen in a decent series final at Goodwood, this represents a significant droop in class for GET JIGGY WITH IT, whose 2023 turf form stands up to scrutiny in the context of this race. As half-sister to a couple of all-weather winners, the selection, whose dam also won on Polytrack, should have no problem with the switch to synthetics and could be hard to beat if she runs anywhere near here official rating of 82. Viennoise and Faster Bee rate the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Get Jiggy With It 2nd Viennoise 3rd Faster Bee

PUREFOY showed a liking for this surface when a close second over a mile here on his latest outing in October and, likely to be stronger and wiser now, the son of Ulysses can give in-form trainer Andrew Balding's early season statistics another positive boost by making a winning handicap debut now he drops back a furlong. Twirler and Gone Rogue both know how to win a race and have to be feared, but Wolverhampton maiden winner Pedro Valentino may pose a bigger threat on his first run since being gelded.
Prediction : 1st Purefoy 2nd Pedro Valentino 3rd Twirler

UNAVAILABLE brings the most consistent level of form to the table based on her placed efforts during the winter months. She wasn't at her best here last time, but the application of cheekpieces for the first time may see Chelsea Banham's filly bounce back. Falmouth Boy has shown promise on his most recent outings and is likely to enter calculations, while Monkey Miss is capable of better following her sole nursery effort at Kempton in October.
Prediction : 1st Unavailable 2nd Falmouth Boy 3rd Monkey Miss

ARTHUR'S REALM went close to gaining his first victory in almost two years when third in the Spring Mile at Doncaster. Ed Dunlop's gelding was raised 2lb for that performance and remains on a mark that he can be more than competitive off. City Of York landed a hat-trick last season and a return to the all-weather may yield further improvement. Shockwaves won fresh over C&D in May and would be a threat to all if arriving in similar form.
Prediction : 1st Arthurs Realm 2nd City Of York 3rd Shockwaves

NORDIC GLORY bounced back to form when second in a similar event to this over 6f at Wolverhampton last time and he could go one better off the same mark here. That said, Hannah's Return has to be of some interest following her C&D success a month ago, while Admirable Lad and Moorgate are others who merit places on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Nordic Glory 2nd Hannahs Return 3rd Admirable Lad

GOGO YUBARI won over 6f here two starts ago and she was far from disgraced when third under a 6lb penalty in a valuable event at Chelmsford a week ago. Off a 4lb lower mark here, the daughter of Havana Grey should not be underestimated. Soldiers Design has been knocking on the door of late and merits respect on her handicap bow, while The Liegeman and Jungle Dance are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Gogo Yubari 2nd Soldiers Design 3rd Jungle Dance
