UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Solanna deserves a change of luck having filled the runner-up spot on his last two starts but, although respected, the vote goes to TATMEEN. Beaten a neck over the mile on his handicap bow here in April before going one place better when upped to this trip at Kempton latest, there should be more to come and a 5lb rise might not be enough to halt his progress. Meleri is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Tatmeen 2nd Solanna 3rd Meleri

A difficult race to unpick with many of these having something to prove, so only a tentative vote can go to CASUAL ENCOUNTER. Andrew Balding's filly has made little impact in her three starts so far but she's a half-sister to City Spirit, who won over an extended 1m3f for these connections, and it is interesting that they opt for a classified contest over handicaps. The saddle slipped on Drouthy Neebor when having to be pulled up at Wolverhampton (sent off favourite) recently and could be worth another chance, while Jack Langley is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Casual Encounter 2nd Drouthy Neebor 3rd Jack Langley

Lope De Vega colt Beckford's Folly is an obvious player on debut given his connections. It's slightly concerning that he sports a hood, though, and SHAATIR is preferred. Archie Watson's charge kept on well enough for third at Chepstow recently and that experience ought to stand him in good stead, with stall six a real positive too. 150,000gns purchase Balthamos warrants a market check.
Prediction : 1st Shaatir 2nd Beckfords Folly 3rd Balthamos

SUGAR HILL BABE bounced back to form when scoring readily over 5f at Nottingham last month and the five-year-old is the one to beat on that evidence, despite a 6lb rise. Glamorous Breeze also won on her most recent outing but that form is more questionable. With that in mind, Tourist could prove to be the main threat if reproducing the form that saw him win at Bath two starts ago.
Prediction : 1st Sugar Hill Babe 2nd Tourist 3rd Glamorous Breeze

Ghostman has to be noted following his success over C&D two weeks ago but a 3lb rise demands more of him now. As a result, preference is for ANOTHER ABBOT, who was only beaten a head into second off this mark at Redcar recently and he may have more improvement left to come. Others to note are Solar Edge, Pouting and Sandscreendeliverd.
Prediction : 1st Another Abbot 2nd Ghostman 3rd Solar Edge

It is very hard to oppose ME TARZAN, who scored in impressive fashion over 7f at Leicester a week ago and a 6lb penalty for that success may vastly underestimate this unexposed gelding. Latona has not been disgraced on her last couple of starts and she could make the frame in a race of this nature, while similar comments apply to My Boy Harry and Up The Anti.
Prediction : 1st Me Tarzan 2nd Latona 3rd My Boy Harry
