UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Sisters In The Sky won over C&D on his latest outing and is expected to be competitive once again, despite a 2lb rise from the handicapper. Watermelon Sugar took a step back in the right direction when a neck third at Wolverhampton last month, but the vote goes to BRUNEL CHARM following his recent placed effort at Kempton having suffered interference.
Prediction : 1st Brunel Charm 2nd Sisters In The Sky 3rd Watermelon Sugar

POETIC JACK proved to be disappointing when attempting to follow up a C&D success at Chelmsford. However, the five-year-old, who had been in consistent form prior to that display, is more than capable of leaving the effort behind and is expected to confirm placings with Alshimali from their meeting here at the start of last month. Arlecchino's Gift won off this mark at Wolverhampton in September and it would be no surprise if he bounced back to form.
Prediction : 1st Poetic Jack 2nd Alshimali 3rd Arlecchinos Gift

PLAGE DE HAVRE was no match for a useful prospect of Godolphin's when runner-up at Chelmsford on his latest start, but this may be the ideal opportunity for Andrew Balding's gelding to get off the mark. Pride Of Donegal is likely to benefit from stepping up in distance based on his pedigree, while better is expected from Tribal Act, assuming he has learned plenty from his debut experience at Kempton.
Prediction : 1st Plage De Havre 2nd Pride Of Donegal 3rd Tribal Act

Nordic Glory and My Genghis are reliable options, while Second Collection was revived by first-time blinkers when landing a similar event at Wolverhampton last month. She rates a key player nudged up just 1lb, but MY TURN NOW was too keen for her own good in that race and may be able to turn the tables if settling better. Unavailable is not dismissed back over 5f and adds further depth to a competitive event for the grade.
Prediction : 1st My Turn Now 2nd Second Collection 3rd Nordic Glory

Monsieur Beaulieu has been a good servant for Nick Littmoden and having won over C&D last month, he can have a major say after being narrowly denied when third off this figure back here on New Year's Eve. However, fellow track-and-trip winner BELL SHOT, who has hit the target off higher marks on turf, potentially offers more value after hinting at a revival of late. Thapa VC is closely matched with his two likely main rivals so also enters calculations.
Prediction : 1st Bell Shot 2nd Monsieur Beaulieu 3rd Thapa VC

THE THAMES BOATMAN, who has form that ties in with a few of these, overcame a tardy start to get back to winning ways over C&D in September and, having been tried in deeper races since, he can uphold the form with runner-up Almaty Star and third-placed Mc Loven off just a 3lb higher rating. A previous C&D winner, Diomed Spirit isn't weighted out of this and is another to bear in mind if he attracts support in the betting.
Prediction : 1st The Thames Boatman 2nd Almaty Star 3rd Mc Loven

Having accounted for Charlie's Choice in an apprentice handicap at Wolverhampton last week, TORTURED SOUL should prove tough to beat racing off the same mark. The son of Zoffany is 3lb well-in and edges the vote over Addosh, who has performed with credit since racing under the tutelage of James Owen and a 77-day break may have freshened her up. Sharp Distinction is also noted reverting to the C&D of his last victory.
Prediction : 1st Tortured Soul 2nd Addosh 3rd Sharp Distinction

H Key Lails looked better than ever when making all over track and trip and a 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid. He may find it harder to dominate from stall 10, though, and it could be worth chancing ROSCIOLI. The Territories gelding has hit the frame on his last three attempts over C&D and his current mark looks workable. The Spotlight Kid and Book Of Life warrant a second look as well.
Prediction : 1st Roscioli 2nd H Key Lails 3rd The Spotlight Kid
