UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

ASHFORD HILL defied market expectation when making a winning stable debut over C&D a fortnight ago. A 2lb rise in the ratings looks more than workable and a brace could be on the cards for the three-year-old. Under Curfew arrives on the back of a staying-on second over 5f at Wolverhampton and Tony Carroll's gelding is feared most back up in trip. Edergole's Gift, Just Ten High and My Boy Jack are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Ashford Hill 2nd Under Curfew 3rd Edergoles Gift

The application of a first-time visor saw an improved performance from Mister Coco Fizz when finishing a close-up second at Wolverhampton 10 days ago. A 1lb higher rating is unlikely to prevent another bold bid, but last month's Chelmsford scorer NATSUMI shades the verdict. The daughter of Kameko proved a different proposition on her nursery bow and she looks capable of beating Startling once more.
Prediction : 1st Natsumi 2nd Mister Coco Fizz 3rd Startling

MARHABA GHAIYYATH offered plenty of encouragement when posting a close-up second on his racecourse debut at Wolverhampton 17 days ago. Charlie Johnston's inmate should have learned plenty from that opening bid and he gets a confident vote. Circus Of Rome may serve the most resistance to the selection after finishing a respectable sixth on his introduction over C&D last month, ahead of Minelone.
Prediction : 1st Marhaba Ghaiyyath 2nd Circus Of Rome 3rd Minelone

HAMDANI CRUISER posted a much better effort when upped to 1m1f at Wolverhampton. A respectable fourth on that occasion, James Horton's inmate looks to have more to offer and may prove the one to side with. Timeless Spirit caught the eye finishing with a late flourish to take second at Southwell on her racecourse debut, though has been done no favours drawn wide once again. Hush Puppy is related to several winners on the all-weather and is a newcomer to note.
Prediction : 1st Hamdani Cruiser 2nd Timeless Spirit 3rd Hush Puppy

Global Resolve finished clear of the rest when runner-up at Chelmsford in a first-time visor. The headgear remains in place and he can feature once again, but SEMSER is taken to resume winning ways. Sent off favourite at Chelmsford in October, the seven-year-old failed to get a clear run when beaten only a neck and can make amends by landing this contest. Harlington won over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last time and can go well too.
Prediction : 1st Semser 2nd Global Resolve 3rd Harlington

HAT TOSS opened his account on the all-weather with a victory Chelmsford last month. An apprentice's allowance negates a 2lb rise and there looks more to come from James Owen's charge on this surface. Pjanoo (third) was beaten lees than a length behind the selection and can have a say in the outcome, while Newsreader has won three times over 7f at Kempton and looks worth another try over 1m.
Prediction : 1st Hat Toss 2nd Pjanoo 3rd Newsreader

A C&D winner around this time last year, WESTERN STARS is still on a winning mark and has nothing to fear from stepping back up in trip after going in over 1m6f at Wolverhampton last month. He gets the vote over Corsican Caper, who is another with a solid chance back on the all-weather. Poncho still has plenty of scope for improvement on the Flat and is also respected.
Prediction : 1st Western Stars 2nd Corsican Caper 3rd Poncho

SANTORINI STAR, who was runner-up to a useful prospect on her debut at Southwell in October, showed she learned from the experience when getting off the mark with a power-packed finish over 1m at Kempton last month. With the likelihood of more to come over this longer trip, she gets the vote with an opening handicap mark of 77 deemed workable. Fellow last-time-out winners Obsidian Knight and Epsom Faithfull are other strong contenders.
Prediction : 1st Santorini Star 2nd Obsidian Knight 3rd Epsom Faithfull

With the speedy Lihou and Bluebells Boy drawn handily on the inside, this is likely to be run at a strong tempo. While those two are highly respected, that scenario could play straight into the hands of HIERARCHY, who has proven to be at his best when he has something to aim at and could have the race teed up nicely here. Southwell 5f winner One More Wave also needs a betting check.
Prediction : 1st Hierarchy 2nd Lihou 3rd Bluebells Boy
