UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Having displayed a willing attitude to score by the smallest of margins over 1m2f here last month, Dubai Harbour warrants respect in his follow-up bid. However, the son of Invincible Spirit is far from certain to stay today's extra two furlongs and NATIONAL HEALTH looks a more solid proposition. Olly Murphy's gelding posted a solid third over C&D in classified company four days ago and this switch to a handicap could prove fruitful. Royal Observatory is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st National Health 2nd Dubai Harbour 3rd Royal Observatory

CEIRA G lost momentum at a pivotal point in the closing stages when finishing second at Wolverhampton earlier this month. A 1lb nudge up in the ratings for Michael Keady's filly looks workable and a second career victory could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from handicap debutant Spoilt, who arrives on the back of a solid second over C&D. Risk is also worth a look sporting a first-time visor.
Prediction : 1st Ceira G 2nd Spoilt 3rd Risk

Virtue Patience faced some tall assignments on his two novice/maiden appearances as a juvenile and he should prove more competitive in these calmer waters. Regardless, it could be worth taking a punt on one of the newcomers, with KEY WITNESS topping the bill. The son of Acclamation is a half-brother to Irish Listed winner Panama Red, and Archie Watson's inmate could prove tough to beat if possessing the same ability. The market should prove informative, with fellow newcomer Saguaro Blossom also of interest.
Prediction : 1st Key Witness 2nd Saguaro Blossom 3rd Virtue Patience

MIDNIGHTATTHEOASIS has benefited from a drop to 5f on his last couple of starts including at Newcastle on Tuesday when just getting the better of Pop Dancer. Despite a 5lb swing with Tony Carroll's gelding due to a penalty, the five-year-old should still be a tough nut to crack. Rebel Star finished runner-up on her handicap bow at Wolverhampton and commands the utmost respect.
Prediction : 1st Midnightattheoasis 2nd Pop Dancer 3rd Rebel Star

BOW STREET appeared to need his return to action when fifth at Southwell last month and the drop back a furlong is unlikely to inconvenience him in a bid for a second career victory. Toolatetonegotiate is expected to be in the mix after a string of consistent efforts during the winter months, while others to note include Early Release and Natsumi.
Prediction : 1st Bow Street 2nd Toolatetonegotiate 3rd Early Release

Combustion has to be of interest following a hat-trick in recent months but the switch to handicap company demands more from him. As a result, preference is for DON'T FIGHT IT, who was only beaten a length when fourth off this mark at Kempton last time. Miss Moonshine edges out Lynwood Lad and Agent Mayfair to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Dont Fight It 2nd Combustion 3rd Miss Moonshine

In an open event marginal preference is for INTERVENTION, who caught the eye on his return to 7f at Wolverhampton last time. A former C&D winner, Mick Appleby's gelding could take plenty of stopping off a decent mark. Rey De La Batalla scored over this track and trip two starts ago and was only narrowly denied over a mile here last time. With that in mind, he could prove to be the main threat ahead of Diamondonthehill and Tadreeb.
Prediction : 1st Intervention 2nd Rey De La Batalla 3rd Diamondonthehill
