UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Universal Story's winning streak came to an end at Southwell last time, but there was no disgrace in finishing second and Jennie Candlish's upwardly mobile four-year-old has to remain of interest. That being said, a drop in trip might not play to her strengths and it could pay to side with AGE OF TIME. The gelding built on a Kempton second when winning in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Wolverhampton and a 3lb rise should not be problematic. Tortured Soul could also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Age Of Time 2nd Universal Story 3rd Tortured Soul

Galileo Charm shaped with considerable promise on her debut and although not as good over C&D last time, perhaps the addition of first-time cheekpieces will spark an improved performance. Despite that, preference is for BAMI, who has been crying out for a step up in trip on both of her racecourse appearances. Cracksman filly Cracking Beauty is related to a host of winners and wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to make an impact.
Prediction : 1st Bami 2nd Galileo Charm 3rd Cracking Beauty

There are a couple of notable debutants who take their chance in the form of Royal Poetry and One Of The Boys, but RICHIE'S ROCKET can put his experience to good use. Ralph Beckett's colt hit the frame in a warm Newmarket novice event on his first start last month and a similar level of performance is likely to be good enough.
Prediction : 1st Richies Rocket 2nd Royal Poetry 3rd One Of The Boys

Quilt would prove a live threat if bouncing back to the form of her debut fourth at Kempton, but a subsequent fifth in a class 5 contest at Newcastle tempers enthusiasm. It could be worth chancing one of the newcomers, with BAYAANN topping the bill. Having fetched 410,000gns as a yearling, connections will be hoping he can recoup some of that expenditure by making a winning debut. Space Invasion, Oracle Mission and That's Random also require a market check.
Prediction : 1st Bayaann 2nd Space Invasion 3rd Oracle Mission

Having proved far more competitive reverting to handicap company when finishing third at Wolverhampton recently, a race of this nature looks well within LADY OF ANDROS' compass. The three-year-old makes plenty of appeal racing off an untouched mark and a belated second career victory may beckon. Aramis Grey arrives in good heart and may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of So Sassy.
Prediction : 1st Lady Of Andros 2nd Aramis Grey 3rd So Sassy

Fairy Glen performed with plenty of credit when second in a Listed event at Bath and this dual all-weather winner merits plenty of respect back on the Polytrack. However, UNDERSTUDY has held her own in Group company this season, occupying the runner-up berth in the Ribblesdale, and is slightly more compelling now eased in class. Bosphorus Rose and Loughville both have little to find on the ratings and cannot be dismissed either.
Prediction : 1st Understudy 2nd Fairy Glen 3rd Bosphorus Rose

Former high-class juvenile Shuwari has steadily found her feet since returning from the sidelines, landing a Listed race in France, although she does have a costly Doncaster defeat to atone for and needs to prove she handles the surface. SKY SAFARI has no such worries and extended her unblemished all-weather record to four when justifying favouritism in the London Mile Series Final. She looks ready to take the next step. Sunlit Uplands and Naina are talented enough to make an impact too.
Prediction : 1st Sky Safari 2nd Shuwari 3rd Sunlit Uplands

Ryan Kavanagh helped coax Sceptic back into the winner's enclosure on his return to the all-weather, with the five-year-old accounting for a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton. In VIZZAVONA LADY, though, he comes up against a lightly-raced filly with plenty of untapped potential and that earns her the nod. Penelope Valentine has held her form well since joining James Owen, while River Wharfe may have failed on his hat-trick mission but can't be written off. Cooramook and Sioux Warrior are a couple more to consider.
Prediction : 1st Vizzavona Lady 2nd Sceptic 3rd Penelope Valentine

Simon Dow bought Balon D'or for 12,000gns recently but the stable's leading hope might be MC LOVEN, who has been performing well in defeat on Polytrack and was a solid third behind a subsequent winner over C&D a couple of weeks ago. Ziggy's Triton came out third best in a tight finish at Southwell and should get his head in front again before too long. Diomed Spirit will be much happier now back on the all-weather.
Prediction : 1st Mc Loven 2nd Ziggys Triton 3rd Balon Dor
