UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

NEXT SECOND signed off 2023 with a second to So Sleepy at Chelmsford but she improved past that rival on her reappearance, finishing a place in front of her when third at Wolverhampton. Wakai Umi was even further behind that day and Ruth Carr's mare gets the nod. That's not to say So Sleepy won't be a big threat because the top-weight should also step forward from that comeback effort. Mellys Flyer is sliding down the weights and could pop up before too long.
Prediction : 1st Next Second 2nd So Sleepy 3rd Mellys Flyer

Imola and Cervaro Della Sala aren't separated by much on last year's Wolverhampton running, although the latter does have the advantage of a recent outing now. State Flag ran well on all three appearances as a juvenile, and Fenisa went into a few notebooks when third at Kempton. Another chance is still given to INTERTWINED, who may have found the ground too testing at Redcar and is selected instead thanks to her debut third at Newbury.
Prediction : 1st Intertwined 2nd Fenisa 3rd State Flag

Favourite-backers have had their fingers burned twice with AMROON so far this year, but there will be plenty who keep the faith and his placed efforts at Wolverhampton and Chelmsford suggest he can reward it. The drop from 7f should be in his favour, although Katie G was only half a length behind him last time and might also be happier at this trip. Sir Bolton is gradually working his way back into some form, and Justahunch's latest effort can be forgiven.
Prediction : 1st Amroon 2nd Katie G 3rd Justahunch

FAR L'AMORE wasn't disgraced first time out against the ill-fated Chester Vase winner Hidden Law and probably ran to a similar level on the Roodee 15 days ago. He may not need to find much improvement unless Baronetti, a half-brother to two winners, proves above-average on his racecourse debut. Faster Bee could potentially improve for a gelding operation but has shown his hand on a number of occasions, while Tatateo was disappointing at Kempton.
Prediction : 1st Far LAmore 2nd Baronetti 3rd Faster Bee

BEACH POINT was hugely impressive when justifying favouritism at Doncaster last Saturday, particularly as plenty went wrong in the run. The extra furlong is unlikely to pose any problems and he is fancied to defy a 6lb penalty. Magic Rascal looked slightly unlucky not to win at Bath, meeting interference over 1f out and being carried left by the winner inside the last. He now wears a tongue-tie and rates the biggest threat, ahead of Charles Morin.
Prediction : 1st Beach Point 2nd Magic Rascal 3rd Charles Morin

Letaba is an obvious player having won two of his last three starts, but those victories came on the all-weather and his record of 0 from 10 on turf must be a concern. Genesius is worthy of consideration despite having a 205-day absence to overcome, but narrow preference is for PREMIERE LIGNE. He wasn't far behind the now 87-rated Kotari at Windsor 38 days ago and could well improve for that first outing since September.
Prediction : 1st Premiere Ligne 2nd Letaba 3rd Genesius
