UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

SNEAKY BLINDER struck in fine fashion in this grade over 1m2f at Salisbury earlier in the month, shaping as if this step up in trip could unlock further improvement. Tom Ward's three-year-old is only 5lb higher for that victory and he could prove very hard to beat again. Red Cloud has filled the top two places on each of his last four starts and he should remain competitive back in a handicap after his second in a classified event last time, while Quickfire can pick up any pieces.
Prediction : 1st Sneaky Blinder 2nd Red Cloud 3rd Quickfire

LONGUERUE produced a much better effort to finish fourth over 1m6f at Nottingham last month and she was dropped 1lb for that effort. The daughter of Recorder sports first-time cheekpieces, which could eke out the improvement needed to get her head back in front. Queen Of Steel finished a fair fourth at Bath when she was last seen on the Flat in May and she could have a say off the same rating, while Foinix is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Longuerue 2nd Queen Of Steel 3rd Foinix

Oasis Sunrise brings experience to the table and she ran too bad to be true at Deauville last time, but she is an obvious player based on her second at Chester two starts ago. However, the vote goes to EL FOX, who showed a fair amount of ability to finish fourth on her debut at Yarmouth earlier in the month and she would have learned a great deal from that experience. Scarlet Sunset completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st El Fox 2nd Oasis Sunrise 3rd Scarlet Sunset

An open contest in which the recent Lingfield all-weather scorer Big Bard and class-dropper Vinaka have to be considered. But this looks like a decent opportunity for the veteran SPANISH MANE to enhance her excellent course record. Julia Feilden's mare is rated 4lb lower than winning over C&D on unfavoured soft ground a year ago and hinted at a return to form here last month, when doing much the best of those drawn low in a similarly competitive event.
Prediction : 1st Spanish Mane 2nd Vinaka 3rd Big Bard

The penny has well and truly dropped for MISS STORMY NIGHT who, after narrowly opening her account at Salisbury, followed up in taking fashion from a 5lb higher rating at Nottingham month. The handicapper has hit her hard with a further 10lb rise but she remains hard to get away from in this sort of company, although the experienced Abolish should go well again after returning to form with a win at Bath last time. Class-dropper Clipsham La Habana also warrants a second look.
Prediction : 1st Miss Stormy Night 2nd Abolish 3rd Clipsham La Habana

Turned out again quickly after an unlucky defeat over 5f at Haydock last week, where she was denied a clear run inside the final furlong, SMOOTH SILESIE can gain compensation on this occasion. Milliethemollie has strong claims on her penultimate effort at Brighton over further, while Marcus may be a maiden through eight starts but remains consistent at this level.
Prediction : 1st Smooth Silesie 2nd Milliethemollie 3rd Marcus

PABLO DEL PUEBLO's keen going ways arguably cost him victory here on Wednesday, when being worn down late on over 6f. That was still a highly-encouraging effort from Simon Dow's charge though, and he may be able to regain the winning thread on the drop back in trip. Runner-up on three of his last six starts, Nordic Glory can give him the most to think about, ahead of Lewis Barnes for his in-form yard.
Prediction : 1st Pablo Del Pueblo 2nd Nordic Glory 3rd Lewis Barnes
