UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Second in an Irish point-to-point before winning on his Rules debut at Ffos Las in January, GIANTSGRAVE can make a seamless transition to hurdles. The son of Walk In The Park wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary but that bumper success is the best form on offer, and the Skeltons could hardly be in better form. Harry Cobden arrives for just two rides so it will be interesting to see how Jeriko Place fares, especially given that he will appreciate a switch to timber. Cinquenta heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Giantsgrave 2nd Jeriko Place 3rd Cinquenta

GETAWAY KING largely struggled when trained in Ireland but having moved to Fergal O'Brien, he wasted no time in opening his account. The seven-year-old has been raised 4lb for that Fontwell success but with an experience edge over each of his rivals, he looks to have been found another fine opportunity. Diamond Days and Jorah should both appreciate a switch to fences but, even so, may struggle to topple the selection.
Prediction : 1st Getaway King 2nd Diamond Days 3rd Jorah

ZAMEK shaped with promise on his debut in a Chepstow bumper before moving from the Paul Nicholls stable to Olly Murphy and might be one to keep on the right side of this term. He will appreciate the switch to hurdles and has the added advantage of Sean Bowen up top. Well-related debutant Coolkatie merits respect, although Ffos Las bumper winner Kosac D'oudairies may be a bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Zamek 2nd Kosac Doudairies 3rd Coolkatie

Followcato didn't get very far on his chasing debut and is turned out quickly in a bid to make amends. Risk De Pluie showed an aptitude for fences during his first campaign over them, but STAR OF DIAMONDS might be better treated. Emma Lavelle's six-year-old didn't quite fulfil expectations in a three-race hurdles stint, but he beat the useful Taponthego in an Irish point-to-point so is expected to come into his own in this discipline. Sean Bowen sticks with Eureka Creek after partnering her into third over timber at Bangor.
Prediction : 1st Star Of Diamonds 2nd Followcato 3rd Risk De Pluie

SCORPIO RISING showed the benefit of a summer break when making it second-time lucky over obstacles in the hands of Sean Bowen at Perth last month. The champion jockey keeps the partnership intact and Olly Murphy's grey can follow up on his handicap debut. Ski Lodge also goes handicapping on the back of a win, although that came at Haydock almost a year ago. Another Fine Mess broke through at Warwick when last seen, but he was keen so the step up from 2m may not be ideal.
Prediction : 1st Scorpio Rising 2nd Ski Lodge 3rd Another Fine Mess

JOREBEL's winning spree came to an end at Plumpton, but he probably bumped into a rival that little bit better handicapped. There was certainly no disgrace in finishing second and Chris Gordon's six-year-old could have more to offer now he goes chasing. No No Fizz was last of three at Fakenham on her chasing bow, but that did come after an absence so better is expected. Rocks Up Late was a solid third at Worcester, but seems to reserve his best for that track. Mutual Respect occupied the same position after wind surgery at Bangor and could be the chief threat.
Prediction : 1st Jorebel 2nd Mutual Respect 3rd No No Fizz
