UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

MY MATE MIKE made the frame in this grade over track and trip on his latest outing and competes off the same rating. Dean Ivory's four-year-old is a two-time C&D winner who has lots in his favour to regain the winning thread. Mumayaz has run well over sprint distances on each of his last three starts and should have no problem with the step back up in trip, while Monsieur Beaulieu isn't out of it after his third over 6f here last month.
Prediction : 1st My Mate Mike 2nd Mumayaz 3rd Monsieur Beaulieu

BLUE SECRET has shown a fair amount of ability in her three starts to date, including her fair fourth at Newmarket last month. The daughter of Blue Point is bred to be a lot better than a rating of 74 and it would be no surprise to see her show that today. Solar Army was denied by a short head into second at Southwell last time and should remain competitive off 3lb higher, while Beauty By My Side is another to note after her victory at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Blue Secret 2nd Solar Army 3rd Beauty By My Side

TEXAS STARLIGHT took a step forward from her debut second to score in comfortable style at Southwell in October and she is likely to have plenty of improvement in her. George Boughey's juvenile could relish the step up to a mile and can carry her 7lb penalty to victory. 230,000-euro purchase Miss Herschel is related to plenty of winners and she is of huge interest, especially if the market speaks in her favour. Joyful Sound is a half-sister to an Italian Group 1 winner and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Texas Starlight 2nd Miss Herschel 3rd Joyful Sound

BLAST THE DREAM wasn't disgraced when finishing fifth in a warm-looking novice on her debut at Newmarket last month. That experience should stand the daughter of Oasis Dream in good stead and this step up to a mile could enable a breakthrough victory. Newcomer Gray Rainbow shouldn't be found lacking for stamina given her staying pedigree and market support for James Owen's filly must be noted. C&D fourth Pershalla may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Blast The Dream 2nd Gray Rainbow 3rd Pershalla

CHARLOTTE'S WEB had little difficulty in completing a double at Newcastle last month and a 6lb rise may prove to be on the lenient side. Sean D Bowen claims a handy 3lb off the three-year-old's back and a hat-trick could be in order. Typical Woman finished behind the selection in fourth 33 days ago and her subsequent close-up second at Kempton substantiates the selection's form. Ian Williams' mare will need to improve off a 5lb higher mark, so a bigger threat may emerge from Chelmsford scorer Lokana.
Prediction : 1st Charlottes Web 2nd Lokana 3rd Typical Woman

Although he has proved expensive to follow on his last two defeats, a first-time hood could prove the key to unlocking SMART HERO's ability. The Shamardal gelding was far too keen when finishing ninth at Kempton last month, but he may take some stopping if settling better. Hafeet Alain arrives on the back of a respectable sixth in a class 2 event at the same venue as the selection and is a viable alternative dropping in class. Local Hero and Palmar Bay are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Smart Hero 2nd Hafeet Alain 3rd Local Hero

POETIC JACK has been knocking on the door of late with a pair of runner-up efforts, including last time out over C&D, and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to regain the winning thread. Sisters In The Sky has strong claims on his penultimate second over this distance at Wolverhampton, while Doves Of Peace is another to consider for in-form connections. Lilkian and Supernova Steps are likely to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Poetic Jack 2nd Sisters In The Sky 3rd Doves Of Peace

An eye-catcher on his first start for Hilal Kobeissi when not beaten far in third at Wolverhampton last month, CURRUMBIN is entitled to build upon that effort and he may be able to break the maiden at the 12th time of asking. Hill Station didn't do himself any favours when taking a keen hold over C&D last time out, but he is capable on his day, as well as Fravanco, who should be suited by dropping back in trip.
Prediction : 1st Currumbin 2nd Hill Station 3rd Fravanco

OVERNIGHT OATS is in the form of his life at present and stepping back up in trip should not inconvenience as he looks to follow up on a comfortable success over 7f at Wolverhampton. A mark of 55 is still much lower than his career best and the four-year-old is likely to have too much for Brighton second River Wharfe and Star Of Atlantis, who can improve on her first start for new connections at Southwell.
Prediction : 1st Overnight Oats 2nd River Wharfe 3rd Star Of Atlantis
