UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

CRAFTER was a comfortable winner under Mason Paetel over C&D last time out and in race lacking depth, he looks to hold every chance of following up from a 3lb raised mark. Forge Valley Lad finished a narrow second at Wolverhampton on Monday and he could prove the main danger from a handy draw. Any market support for handicap-debutant Ephyra would be noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Crafter 2nd Forge Valley Lad 3rd Ephyra

It was hard to not be impressed by ZIP IT UP's debut success and with little in the way of opposition, she is difficult to oppose. That said, Richard Hannon's filly hasn't been seen since September and that would be a slight concern, and Needlepoint is the most likely threat. Big Time Rascal holds an official rating of 60 and would need more to come home in front.
Prediction : 1st Zip It Up 2nd Needlepoint 3rd Big Time Rascal

Five Winds won well over C&D last time out and although she's respected from a 4lb higher mark, SOVEREIGN KNIGHT shades preference. Also on target over track and trip recently, the way in which Amy Murphy's charge travelled into that contest would suggest he can readily defy a 3lb rise in the handicap. Momaer might not be far away either.
Prediction : 1st Sovereign Knight 2nd Five Winds 3rd Momaer

CERTAIN STYLE benefitted from an enterprising ride when scoring by 22 lengths in an apprentice handicap over track and trip last month and she is able to compete off the same rating. Laura Mongan's four-year-old can prove that facile success was no fluke in order to record a double. Arch Legend has finished fourth in this grade the last twice and could go well off 2lb lower than his most recent display at Chelmsford. Sir Joseph Swan is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Certain Style 2nd Arch Legend 3rd Sir Joseph Swan

WE'RE REUNITED outran big odds to take the silver medal home at this level at Wolverhampton last month and competes off a 2lb higher rating for that display. The son of Kodiac looks to have been found a good opportunity and has lots in his favour to go one better. Nordic Glory has filled the top two places on each of his last three starts and is expected to mount a bold bid again, while Poetic Jack isn't out of it either.
Prediction : 1st Were Reunited 2nd Nordic Glory 3rd Poetic Jack

RAVENSBOURNE produced a much better effort to make the frame over C&D earlier in the month and the handicapper might have been kind to drop her 1lb for that performance. The three-year-old sports first-time blinkers, which could eke out the improvement required. Lord Danielson finished a fair fourth over 7f at Chelmsford on his latest outing and is an interesting contender over this shorter distance. Voodoo Ray looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Ravensbourne 2nd Lord Danielson 3rd Voodoo Ray

MC LOVEN paid the price for setting brisk early fractions when fading into third close home over C&D last time out and, nudged up 1lb from a handier draw, another bold bid looks likely. Twilight Fun was denied a hat-trick in the shadows of the post over this trip at Wolverhampton earlier this month and he should go well again off 1lb higher. It may not be long until Mick's Spirit finds himself in the winner's enclosure off what is becoming an attractive mark.
Prediction : 1st Mc Loven 2nd Twilight Fun 3rd Micks Spirit

ZIGGY'S CONDOR has been doing his best work late on over 6f the last twice and, stepping back up in trip off what looks an exploitable mark, Richard Fahey's charge gets the nod. Riot was too keen for his own good when finishing third over a mile here earlier this month and this step back to 7f could help the son of Kingman to be seen to better effect. Bell Shot is also respected eased 1lb for a creditable third over this trip at Kempton recently.
Prediction : 1st Ziggys Condor 2nd Riot 3rd Bell Shot

SWATCH got the better of Book Of Life (second) when scoring cosily over an extended mile at Wolverhampton last week and, although the latter is better off at the weights this time around, the former gets the vote to confirm his superiority en route to victory once more. Kondratiev Wave has been running consistently well of late and is respected most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Swatch 2nd Book Of Life 3rd Kondratiev Wave
