UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

PRINCESS PW has offered plenty of encouragement on both runner-up efforts to date and she may be worth persevering with. Her latest second at Wolverhampton reads well with the third subsequently hitting the frame again, and Gay Kelleway's filly looks ready to open her account. Jane Garfield didn't enjoy the best of passages when sixth at Dunstall Park last month and she may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Solar Pass.
Prediction : 1st Princess Pw 2nd Jane Garfield 3rd Solar Pass

Having made the frame on his last three outings, compensation could be heading in JIFF'S ARMY's direction. A reproduction of his last third at Wolverhampton may prove sufficient and Stuart Williams' charge shades the verdict over Mrs Dowley. The Footstepsinthesand filly arrives on the back of a close-up second at Chelmsford and she isn't taken lightly. Market support for newcomer Seconds Count, a half-sister to the smart Substantial, would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Jiffs Army 2nd Mrs Dowley 3rd Seconds Count

A wind procedure worked the oracle for recent 66-1 C&D winner Rainyniteingeorgia and a 5lb penalty shouldn't prevent another bold bid from Alice Haynes' filly. However, HARB looks a more solid proposition after his track-and-trip triumph in November and a 2lb rise may prove to be lenient. Nogo's Dream hasn't proved the easiest to win with, but the reapplication of cheekpieces could enable an improved bid.
Prediction : 1st Harb 2nd Rainyniteingeorgia 3rd Nogos Dream

Dropping back down in trip appears to be an interesting move for DAMASCUS STEEL, who has a good record over this sort of distance and can make the most of a competitive rating. Early Morning Dew was reliable to follow last year and needs to be taken seriously. The Nicky Henderson-trained Therapist reverts to the Flat on a winnable mark and also commands respect.
Prediction : 1st Damascus Steel 2nd Early Morning Dew 3rd Therapist

Havana Sky rounded out a five-timer with a comfortable success at Wolverhampton last week and is a must for the shortlist given he is 2lb well-in. However, his previous attempts over 7f were less inspiring and with that in mind, dual C&D winner TADREEB could be worth chancing from a whopping 22lb below his last winning mark. Lord Rapscallion is another viable alternative on these terms.
Prediction : 1st Tadreeb 2nd Havana Sky 3rd Lord Rapscallion

Mount Mogan is notably well handicapped off 5lb lower than a C&D win 14 months ago, while Sedgemoor, in a first-time tongue-tie, and Star Pupil, who also tries new headgear, are potential improvers to consider. However, OVERNIGHT OATS, who has won four of his last five starts, is worth forgiving his latest effort given he was forced to race wide and didn't get a clear run over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day. Reverting to 7f and this venue can prove highly beneficial for James Owen's gelding today.
Prediction : 1st Overnight Oats 2nd Mount Mogan 3rd Sedgemoor

The winner of two her last three outings, SILVER NIGHTFALL returned the emphatic winner over 1m3f at Kempton last time. She beat a subsequent winner on that occasion and is taken to defy a 4lb rise on the strength of that form. Rey De La Batalla is of interest stepping up in distance after a creditable fourth over a mile here, while the unexposed Detroit Lion looks a likely improver for the Richard Hannon team.
Prediction : 1st Silver Nightfall 2nd Rey De La Batalla 3rd Detroit Lion

SECRET FORCE left himself with plenty to do after missing the break at Kempton on his racecourse debut. The son of Frankel failed to threaten that day, but finished with a late flourish and Charlie Appleby's inmate will know more here. Boatswain cost 240,000gns as a yearling and is worth closely monitoring on debut with his yard in such good form, while both Queen Of Mercia and Broker Charlie represent powerful teams and are other newcomers to note.
Prediction : 1st Secret Force 2nd Boatswain 3rd Queen Of Mercia

DOUBLETHETROUBLE was left with plenty of ground to make up at Kempton last time but missed out by only a nose when bidding for a hat-trick. Another prominent showing is expected from the seven-year-old and he can resume winning ways. Daaris has gone close in both starts since winning over 1m6f at Wolverhampton and is another with solid claims, while Sophosc is potentially well treated on this return to 2m and cannot be ruled out.
Prediction : 1st Doublethetrouble 2nd Daaris 3rd Sophosc
