UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Dancing Terror made his way through the field to record a debut victory over track and trip on New Year's Eve and with any amount of improvement to come, he has to be considered. However, it may be a tough ask to give his 4lb penalty away to the 85-rated WINNEBAGO. Tom Clover's three-year-old has taken the silver medal home on both of his last two starts at Yarmouth and this step up in trip could bring out the improvement required to go one better. Any market confidence behind newcomer Express Train would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Winnebago 2nd Dancing Terror 3rd Express Train

MICK'S SPIRIT produced a 25/1 surprise when successful by a short head over C&D last month and is only 2lb higher for that triumph. With Daniel Muscutt booked and a plum draw in stall 1, it would be no surprise to see him lead from pillar to post again. Rosenpur is in fine form, making it two wins out of his last three outings at Wolverhampton last time, and should remain competitive, while Harb is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Micks Spirit 2nd Rosenpur 3rd Harb

Diamondonthehill has made the frame in this grade on both of his last two outings, most recently at Southwell, and has to be respected off a workable mark. However, the vote goes to CAVALRY CALL, who finished a fair fourth at Southwell on his most recent start and was kindly dropped 1lb for that effort. The four-year-old sports first-time cheekpieces, which could eke out the improvement required to regain the winning thread. Last-time-out course scorer (7f) Rey De La Batalla completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Cavalry Call 2nd Diamondonthehill 3rd Rey De La Batalla

FRANKIES DREAM has made good progress lately and having already seen off a few of these in past encounters, has an obvious chance of registering a fourth success since the turn of the year. Admittedly, the son of Belardo is creeping up the handicap and, armed with a 14lb pull at the weights from the last time they met, Flicka's Girl rates a big danger on the revised terms. Virtue Temperance can also figure after a near-miss on her all-weather debut at Chelmsford when last seen in October.
Prediction : 1st Frankies Dream 2nd Flickas Girl 3rd Virtue Temperance

FACT OR FABLE and Repartee cross swords again after finishing third and fourth in a handicap at Kempton on Wednesday night and it would come as no surprise to see the former, who is a dual winner on Polytrack, cement his authority in this weaker-looking event. Conquest Of Power and Invincible Navy are the best in at the weights according to official ratings and they also warrant consideration.
Prediction : 1st Fact Or Fable 2nd Repartee 3rd Conquest Of Power

A first-time visor won't need to draw much improvement from ALICE'S IMPACT for her to make the most of stepping up in trip and come out on top here. Capallcliste is another appealing option based on his peak form and merits close inspection on his debut run for a new yard. Brinton and Rainbow Sign have also shown enough to suggest they can be on the premises in a weak event like this.
Prediction : 1st Alices Impact 2nd Capallcliste 3rd Brinton

Having regained the winning thread in ready fashion at Chelmsford 17 days ago, another bold bid is forecast from ARCADIAN NIGHTS. A 3lb nudge up in the ratings for the seven-year-old looks lenient and an 11th career triumph could be imminent. The biggest threat may emerge from recent C&D scorer Raintown, who boasts a similar profile to the selection. Fellow in-form rival Epsom Faithfull is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Arcadian Nights 2nd Raintown 3rd Epsom Faithfull

Baikal appeared to relish a switch to the all-weather when scoring over track and trip last month and a 2lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another good account. However, HONRADO found only a subsequent winner too strong in classified company over 1m4f here in late January and Tony Carroll's charge is slightly more compelling. Come On John is also down in distance and an improved performance wouldn't surprise.
Prediction : 1st Honrado 2nd Baikal 3rd Come On John

A first-time visor proved just the trick for recent Wolverhampton winner Marvellous Lady, but she has more on her plate reverting to handicap company under a penalty. With that in mind, it could be worth siding with the lightly-raced CARD SHARK. The son of Dark Angel posted a solid third in a 14-runner affair over 1m on his handicap bow at Kempton last month and a return to today's 1m2f distance could prove fruitful. Sir Laurence Graff and Dubai Harbour are worth a second look too.
Prediction : 1st Card Shark 2nd Marvellous Lady 3rd Sir Laurence Graff
