UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

SENOR CORTEZ was a wide-margin winner over 1m6f at Yarmouth and reverts to the all-weather with a big chance of following up, despite an 8lb rise. Henry Callan allowed the son of Sea The Stars to coast home in that race, which left the impression that stepping up in trip won't be much of an issue. Moel Arthur, a previous C&D winner, looks the chief danger to the selection, although Throne Hall is another doughty stayer to consider.
Prediction : 1st Senor Cortez 2nd Moel Arthur 3rd Throne Hall

Boss Lady sets the standard after filling the runner-up slot in both of her previous starts. However, a chance is taken on LASER LUCK, who showed some promise behind Boss Lady, despite running green, on her debut at Windsor. The booking of Oisin Murphy suggests connections mean business and the Jeff Smith-owned filly offers the most intrigue. Red Eve and Betty Lemon are interesting newcomers to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Laser Luck 2nd Boss Lady 3rd Red Eve

GALILEO CHARM showed stacks of promise when finishing second on debut at Kempton and the Marco Botti-trained filly could be tough to deal with now she knows more about what is required. Lyra Lea has been placed in each of her three previous starts and looks dependable enough for a place on the shortlist in this company. Sovereign Bright has to enter the equation as well.
Prediction : 1st Galileo Charm 2nd Lyra Lea 3rd Sovereign Bright

Nasim is a course scorer who returned to winning ways over 1m2f at Windsor earlier in the month and holds an obvious chance, but the vote goes to SILK AND STEEL. The Moores' three-year-old beat two subsequent winners at Brighton and is unexposed over this trip. As long as the son of El Kabeir is in similar form, he will be a tough nut to crack. Sneaky Blinder completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Silk And Steel 2nd Nasim 3rd Sneaky Blinder

Clever Jack's best effort came when pipped off a mark of 60 at Newcastle last November, but he has failed to land a blow in three starts since. The switch to the Hughie Morrison stable might spark a revival, but it may pay to side with KEEP TALKING. The daughter of Mohaather finished fifth when she stepped up to this distance at Windsor and has been dropped 1lb, with Ashley Lewis claiming a handy 7lb. Sovereign Lad is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Keep Talking 2nd Clever Jack 3rd Sovereign Lad

Leicester scorer Pretty Spirited is likely to be popular, especially with just a 3lb higher rating to contend with, but FINAL NIGHT looks the way to go. John Butler's charge showed a big chunk of improvement to fill the runner-up spot in this grade at Windsor earlier in the month and is just 2lb higher so could gain his first career victory. Seconds Count warrants a market check on her first outing in a handicap.
Prediction : 1st Final Night 2nd Pretty Spirited 3rd Seconds Count

SAYTARR has been thereabouts over 6f of late. Beaten only a neck when second at Kempton a week ago, the son of Mehmas looks well worth another chance racing off an unchanged mark over this extra furlong. King David should be sharper for a recent comeback and has solid claims back on the all-weather, while Maid In Chelsea returns to this lower grade with a shout.
Prediction : 1st Saytarr 2nd King David 3rd Maid In Chelsea

Mary Of Modena won on the turf course here last month and should feature again now raised only 3lb. Phoenix Moon failed to get a clear run when favourite at Windsor last week and cannot be ruled out with any confidence, but it could be the turn of SIR RODNEYREDBLOOD once again. John Jenkins' veteran landed last year's renewal off a 4lb higher mark and returns to this surface with solid claims.
Prediction : 1st Sir Rodneyredblood 2nd Mary Of Modena 3rd Phoenix Moon
