UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

ROARING CONQUEST wasn't seen to best effect when caught flat-footed off a sedate gallop on his fourth-placed hurdles bow at Uttoxeter last month. Olly Murphy's charge should have learned plenty from that experience and he looks ready to open his account under Rules. Jackstell found only a Grade 2 bumper winner too strong on his opening bid over timber at Huntingdon 25 days ago and he is feared most, ahead of Rip Wheeler.
Prediction : 1st Roaring Conquest 2nd Jackstell 3rd Rip Wheeler

A 179-day layoff worked the oracle for ANGEL'S DREAM when digging deep to repel reopposing rival Superstylin over C&D last month. A 5lb rise in the ratings doesn't appear insurmountable for the six-year-old and any improvement may see him follow up today. The aforementioned Superstylin merits respect racing off a 4lb higher mark, but a bigger threat may emerge from Smart Casual, who offered plenty to work with when finishing third on his chase bow at Hereford three weeks ago.
Prediction : 1st Angels Dream 2nd Smart Casual 3rd Superstylin

Smart Flat performer Miller Spirit scored with something in hand when making a winning hurdles debut over this track and trip 20 days ago and the son of Australia must enter calculations. However, WADE OUT's runner-up effort in a deeper event at Ascot last month looks the best form on offer and the five-year-old is slightly more compelling. What's One More receives 17lb from those two rivals, when taking her jockey's 3lb claim into account, and she could also feature if settling better.
Prediction : 1st Wade Out 2nd Miller Spirit 3rd Whats One More

Officer Of State was unable to justify a short price at Southwell last month when attempting to follow up on his earlier Fontwell triumph. The son of Golden Horn is now another 10lb higher and is respected, but TAMAR BRIDGE gets the nod. Olly Murphy's gelding returned from almost two years off the track to fill the runner-up spot at Uttoxeter in October and, if able to build on that display, a 3lb rise should be no barrier to success. Ring O Roses heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Tamar Bridge 2nd Officer Of State 3rd Ring O Roses

AWORKINPROGRESS has looked anything but since winning over hurdles at Fontwell in March. Nick Gifford's charge made a successful chasing bow on his seasonal return in October, before following up to complete a hat-trick at Lingfield last month. The form of that latest triumph looks solid, given that he pulled well clear with the runner-up, so a 8lb rise might not be beyond him. Eyed, who bolted up at Market Rasen last time out, looks to be the main threat, while Lazy Sunday finished a creditable third at Bangor in October and she is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Aworkinprogress 2nd Eyed 3rd Lazy Sunday

A 3lb rise in the ratings for Jolie Baie's runner-up effort at Huntingdon 25 days ago shouldn't prevent another bold bid, while Warranty boasts a similar profile after finishing second just two days later at Kempton. However, it could be worth taking a punt on the stoutly-bred WOLFSPEAR now that he is stepped up in trip. The son of Fame And Glory could only muster a fifth-placed finish on his reappearance at Uttoxeter last month, but Olly Murphy's runners have been improving for their comebacks and this may prove to be the case once more.
Prediction : 1st Wolfspear 2nd Jolie Baie 3rd Warranty

TRUST HOUSE was value for further than the winning margin when making a winning handicap bow by a length and three-quarters at Leicester earlier this month. The four-year-old impressed with the way he travelled that day and a 7lb higher mark may prove to be on the lenient side. Snapius appreciated a drop in trip when finishing a close-up second over that same C&D 17 days ago. James Owen's inmate has been nudged up just 2lb in the ratings and he's feared most, ahead of fellow in-form rival Pyrotechnic.
Prediction : 1st Trust House 2nd Snapius 3rd Pyrotechnic
