UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

LUNA MAGIC (fourth) may have three lengths to make up with My Brother Mike (first) from their most recent clash at Southwell, but Archie Watson's charge is now 6lb better off and she has scored over C&D previously. A staying on second over 7f at Kempton last month, Swiss Pride may well improve for the step up in trip, while the unexposed Daffin is another to note on just her second start in a handicap.
Prediction : 1st Luna Magic 2nd My Brother Mike 3rd Daffin

CYNOSURE improved with each start as a two-year-old and a gelding operation may bring about the improvement which is needed to get off the mark. A promising runner-up on his last start over C&D, Andrew Balding's charge may have too much for Wolverhampton scorer Winterfair, who has a 7lb penalty to shoulder for that narrow success. Devoirs Choice and Operate are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Cynosure 2nd Winterfair 3rd Devoirs Choice

Favourite when third on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton last time out, ELFORLEATHER looked likely to play a big role when meeting with trouble in running at a crucial stage and compensation may await. Runner-up on two of his last three stars, including once here, Something To Do could be thereabouts once more, along with Jailbird for the in-form George Scott stable.
Prediction : 1st Elforleather 2nd Something To Do 3rd Jailbird

MART bumped into a progressive filly when he filled the runner-up spot on his return from a short break here last month. However, the manner in which he rattled home that day suggests he could be tough to beat off the same mark, especially as he receives weight all round. Torvar (10th) has plenty to find on the face value of that race, so it might be down to Western and Piz Nair to serve it up to the selection, with the former just preferred given his previous all-weather experience.
Prediction : 1st Mart 2nd Western 3rd Piz Nair

Amo Racing introduce an appealing newcomer in the form of TARGET MAN, who cost 325,000gns as yearling and is clearly the most striking of this bunch. The son of Earthlight is likely to get further in time but, given his dam is a half-sister to Gimcrack winner Lake Forest, there is good reason to expect him to cope with a speed test. Kuwaitya showed some promise on debut but fellow debutant Subsonictoshannon won't need to be out of the ordinary to fill the forecast slot.
Prediction : 1st Target Man 2nd Subsonictoshannon 3rd Kuwaitya

WEDGEWOOD has performed with more credit than the bare form suggests on her last two outings, showing up well for a long way before weakening close home both times. She may be able to slingshot off the final bend to make all on her Lingfield debut. Perfect Symphony kept on well when finishing third over 5f at Chelmsford recently and he can emerge as the main danger, while Suanni is back down to his last winning mark and warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Wedgewood 2nd Perfect Symphony 3rd Suanni

CIARA PEARL won going away over a mile here on her penultimate start, prior to staying on well into second over the same trip at Newcastle in October. Over this extra yardage on her handicap debut, she can show her rivals the way home. Belleplaine made a pleasing start for this stable when a never-nearer second over a mile at Southwell last month, and she can give the selection most to think about off a 2lb higher mark. Better can be expected from Dynamiste, who endured a luckless passage when finishing down the field on her handicap debut over C&D in February.
Prediction : 1st Ciara Pearl 2nd Belleplaine 3rd Dynamiste
