UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

WANNABE BRAVE has been much improved since returning from a short-lived hurdling campaign and supplemented a Wolverhampton triumph by again justifying favouritism at Chelmsford. He escapes a penalty for that apprentices' race success and can capitalise on being 3lb well-in. Abraaj showed his appreciation for the return to the all-weather by winning emphatically over C&D and looks a big danger. Daaris has been hammering on the door and will surely be let in before too long, with Greek Giant another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Wannabe Brave 2nd Abraaj 3rd Daaris

Trueman is top-rated and comes out best even when the weights are taken into account, but he has been off for almost a year and has never raced on an artificial surface so POETIC FORCE is probably the safer option. Tony Carroll's veteran hasn't been far away in fourth the last twice and should relish the drop out of handicap company. The same can be said for Smart Deal, who might be the primary threat.
Prediction : 1st Poetic Force 2nd Smart Deal 3rd Trueman

Thecoffeepoddotco's Ripon fourth sets the bar but while it offered some encouragement, the standard isn't exactly insurmountable. The Gosdens are beginning to get their two-year-olds out and Gonna Fly Now is bred to be quick, but Archie Watson could hold all the aces and even though Wathbah is related to several useful performers, DEL RAY gets the vote. The daughter of Kameko is a half-sister to an Albany runner-up, as well as a couple of Listed-winning juveniles, so should hit the ground running.
Prediction : 1st Del Ray 2nd Wathbah 3rd Gonna Fly Now

In a moderate event, marginal preference is for DAME DARCEY, who showed promise when filling third place over this trip at Salisbury last time. Given that the second from that contest has won since, Ed Walker's filly merits plenty of respect off a 2lb lower mark. Call Me The Breeze could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Pannonica and War Zone.
Prediction : 1st Dame Darcey 2nd Call Me The Breeze 3rd Pannonica

DORNEY LAKE created a big impression when getting off the mark over this distance at Yarmouth recently and the son of Ardad is hard to oppose, despite having to carry a 7lb penalty. The Cutest was not disgraced on either of her starts as a juvenile and Andrew Balding's filly should not be discounted, while any market support for Balmoral Lady would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Dorney Lake 2nd The Cutest 3rd Balmoral Lady

SO OBSESSED only found one too good when attempting to supplement a Wolverhampton win over C&D a couple of weeks ago and Marco Botti's filly tops the shortlist off the same mark here. That said, Milliethemollie also hit the crossbar on her most recent outing and should not be underestimated. Restricted was a neck behind the selection two starts ago and edges out Musical Diva to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st So Obsessed 2nd Milliethemollie 3rd Restricted
