UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

APPLE'S ANGEL is attractively weighted from 1lb below her last winning mark and is presented with a good opportunity to get back to winning ways. With both her previous career wins gained on Polytrack, and being allotted a handy draw, the elements gel together nicely for her return to the all-weather. The less-exposed Writteninthestars has the potential to have a big say, while Ejuna appeals for a place with first-time blinkers added.
Prediction : 1st Apples Angel 2nd Writteninthestars 3rd Ejuna

RORY ROCKET is the logical selection based on his two promising starts as a juvenile last autumn. The son of Aclaim filled the runner-up spot in both of those races, showing versatility in ground preference by adeptly switching from good to firm going to heavy. As his dam is a half-sister to a winner on all-weather, a synthetic track should also be within his compass. With first-time blinkers tried, Saguaro Blossom is an obvious threat, while Apple Of My Eye is the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Rory Rocket 2nd Saguaro Blossom 3rd Apple Of My Eye

A race of this nature provides TOMMYTWOHOOTS with a potential route to success and this dual all-weather winner has plenty going for him based on his peak performances. There are several dangers however, and betting market support for the likes of Due Date, Blackbrook and Milliethemollie would be based on solid foundations at this level. The first-named of that trio could be the biggest danger given his proven efficacy at this level.
Prediction : 1st Tommytwohoots 2nd Due Date 3rd Blackbrook

The further SAWGRASS went the more impressive she was when recording a 13-length success over 1m6f here recently so, with another step up in distance likely to suit, a 5lb penalty shouldn't be enough to halt Hughie Morrison's filly. Isle Of Sark went desperately close at Goodwood latest, though, and a reproduction of that performance would bring him into the mix, while it wouldn't come as any great surprise were Simiyann to bounce back having underperformed at Sandown on Saturday.
Prediction : 1st Sawgrass 2nd Isle Of Sark 3rd Simiyann

GOLDEN HANDSHAKE was somewhat of an eye-catching second over 1m2f at Nottingham last time, having encountered traffic problems on a couple of occasions. The son of Zarak should have plenty of room to work with in this small field, though, and if improving for a step up in trip, he should go one place better. Whatcombe has an official rating of 80 but stamina is a slight concern for him. Glint Of Light appeals most of the remaining trio.
Prediction : 1st Golden Handshake 2nd Whatcombe 3rd Glint Of Light

CLASSIC CAUSE failed to justify favouritism but was far from disgraced in second at Wolverhampton eight days ago and he now competes off a 1lb lower rating. With a similar performance, he could prove tough to beat. Glitter Code has taken the silver medal home the last twice, most recently at Nottingham, and he should remain competitive. Spoilt looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Classic Cause 2nd Glitter Code 3rd Spoilt

MR TRICK could only manage fifth at Leicester last time, but he has been dropped 1lb and that puts him on a career-low rating. If the seven-year-old can reproduce his third at the same venue two starts ago, he could be the one to beat. Regal Glory made the frame at Windsor before finishing stone last in a classified stakes event over 1m4f here earlier in the month, but she might be worth another chance. Unification isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Mr Trick 2nd Regal Glory 3rd Unification
