UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Aidan O'Brien's yard has hit full stride and GISELLE is likely to prove a warm order. The daughter of Frankel failed to build on her maiden success, when only third in a Group 3 at the Curragh in October, but this extra distance and faster ground could see the Ballydoyle filly in a much better light. Love Talk landed a competitive race over 7f at Goodwood last autumn, while Harpsichord came up just short in a novice race over 1m4f at Southwell.
Prediction : 1st Giselle 2nd Love Talk 3rd Harpsichord

Morcar could land a blow with a repeat of his recent third at Windsor. He can race off the same mark, while Hamlet's Night is likely to prove competitive after missing out at Haydock a fortnight ago by only a neck. However, FOX AVATAR ran fresh on his seasonal/handicap debut when finishing a respectable fourth at Chelmsford. Roger Varian's charge looks to be on an attractive mark and should have plenty more to offer.
Prediction : 1st Fox Avatar 2nd Morcar 3rd Hamlets Night

CANDYMAN STAN won his maiden on the Polytrack here last year, and landed a handicap in fine style on quick ground at Brighton on his seasonal reappearance. A 7lb rise may not be enough to anchor Andrew Balding's progressive charge and he can follow up. Ryan Moore won a maiden on the former Ballydoyle inmate Vice President last summer and he's worth noting on only his second start for new connections, while King's Code and Power Of Destiny are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Candyman Stan 2nd Vice President 3rd Kings Code

PUPPET MASTER finished fourth in the Ballysax behind stable companion Delacroix on his return at Leopardstown at the end of March. The manner of that performance suggests he may appreciate stepping up in trip and his experience may give him the edge over Stay True, who made a winning debut last month. The son of Galileo is expected to improve from that initial effort, while Prince Of The Seas is entitled to step forward from his Blue Riband effort at Epsom.
Prediction : 1st Puppet Master 2nd Stay True 3rd Prince Of The Seas

Falmouth runner-up JABAARA went one better in the Oak Tree at Goodwood before losing the race in the stewards' room due to interference. Roger Varian's filly then suffered a complicated passage when returning at Wolverhampton in March before a trip to Keeneland last month when not able to produce her best behind fellow UK raider Choisya. She could bounce back to winning ways dropped in class. Cathedral was runner-up in the Oh So Sharp on her second career start at Newmarket and commands respect, while Spiritual and Fair Angellica head the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Jabaara 2nd Cathedral 3rd Spiritual

Sergio Parisse showed more when making the frame in a first-time tongue-tie at Kempton in January and should go well off the same mark. However, PRINCE OF INDIA was only beaten a head into second at Southwell last month and was only put up 3lb. Marco Botti's three-year-old is likely to have more to offer and could be the way to go. Cradle Of Love is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Prince Of India 2nd Sergio Parisse 3rd Cradle Of Love

BANG ON THE BELL made every yard of the running to score by half a length at Windsor last month and remains on a workable mark. If the six-year-old is in similar form, he will prove very tough to beat. Protest Rally was always doing enough when scoring by a neck at Musselburgh last time and commands huge respect, while Merrimack isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Bang On The Bell 2nd Protest Rally 3rd Merrimack
