UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

The hat-trick seeking River Wharfe is sure to have his supporters after his Wolverhampton triumph earlier this month, but it may pay to side with ERNIE'S VALENTINE. The son of Havana Gold won by a head over a mile at Chelmsford last month and can cope with the drop back in trip to complete a double. Edergole's Gift struck at the same course recently and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Ernies Valentine 2nd River Wharfe 3rd Edergoles Gift

BUTTERFLY BEACH failed to build on her promising second on debut at Newmarket when only sixth at Newbury in August, but she might be worth another chance. The daughter of Acclamation held a Cheveley Park entry prior to her latest effort, suggesting she shows a lot more at home. Whizzy Dizzy attempted to make all but faded into fifth on her introduction at Leicester and could take a step forward. Baileys Ontherocks completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Butterfly Beach 2nd Whizzy Dizzy 3rd Baileys Ontherocks

HELLO ISLA produced a better effort when making the frame at Wolverhampton earlier in the month and was kindly dropped 1lb subsequently. Provided Richard Hannon's filly can overcome her tricky draw in stall eight, she could be the one to beat. Excelerate took the silver medal home at the same venue on his most recent start and needs considering off an unchanged rating. Of the remainder, Coul Jane makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Hello Isla 2nd Excelerate 3rd Coul Jane

AL SHABAB showed considerable improvement for the step up in trip when coming home a length and a quarter clear over C&D last month and although he raised 4lb, there could be more to come. Dubai Harbour was hampered before finishing third over further here most recently but is a dual C&D winner off similar marks making him difficult to ignore, while Prince Hector and Sir Patchy are admirably consistent alternatives.
Prediction : 1st Al Shabab 2nd Dubai Harbour 3rd Prince Hector

Phoenix Moon was only beaten a neck at Southwell last month and she seems likely to go close off 2lb higher. Alshimali kept on to win at Brighton but another 5lb may anchor his hopes, and a chance is taken on EZRA CEE. The four-year-old has raced too freely in both starts for these connections, but cheekpieces are back on with a first-time tongue-tie added for this drop in class, which might see him win for a second time.
Prediction : 1st Ezra Cee 2nd Phoenix Moon 3rd Alshimali

Monty Beau went into the notebook when second over C&D on his only start to date and he can go well, although his absence since March has to be a concern for his supporters. MAGIC STAR pulled too hard for his own good over 1m2f at Bath but he could prove difficult to catch back at this trip, while Ravens King has his first start since being gelded and could surprise a few.
Prediction : 1st Magic Star 2nd Monty Beau 3rd Ravens King

The betting suggested STROBELIGHT would run a big race when sent off favourite at Wolverhampton recently. He duly finished a respectable third and, competing off an unchanged mark, another strong challenge is anticipated from George Boughey's unexposed son of Earthlight. C&D winner Borderline Madness is likely to prove competitive again having won two of her last four starts, while Arf's Duchess is one to note on her handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Strobelight 2nd Borderline Madness 3rd Arfs Duchess

A comfortable winner at Wolverhampton last month, NORDIC GLORY looks worth sticking with returning to Polytrack. Michael Attwater's sprinter has won five times at this venue and is taken to defy a 4lb rise. Unico can be given a chance back in this lower grade having won at Brighton on her penultimate start, while Harry Brown could bounce back returning to this longer trip on the evidence of his C&D success in April.
Prediction : 1st Nordic Glory 2nd Unico 3rd Harry Brown
