UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Not the best advertisement for racing with all three runners representing the Gary & Josh Moore team and, not surprisingly, jockey bookings help point in the direction of HANSARD. The seven-year-old was a quality performer over the smaller obstacles, winning the Gerry Feilden and chasing home Rubaud in the Elite Hurdle, and he now has chasing experience following last month's Kempton fourth. Assuming they all get round, Taita Hills can beat Officer Of State to the silver medal.
Prediction : 1st Hansard 2nd Taita Hills 3rd Officer Of State

GETAWAY KING has hit the ground running since joining Fergal O'Brien, justifying favouritism at Fontwell and over C&D. He has gone up a further 3lb, but this doesn't look the most competitive of contests and he can round out the hat-trick. Embarking on a chasing career on the back of a fall over timber isn't ideal, but Somethingtosomeone was still in contention when coming down at Ffos Las so could get involved if her jumping holds up. Big Jimbo made a successful fencing bow in August and is now back to that mark for the first time since.
Prediction : 1st Getaway King 2nd Somethingtosomeone 3rd Big Jimbo

CINQUENTA made the frame in bumpers won by some smart prospects and carried that form over to timber on his return when going close here. He stuck to his guns well so the drop from an extended 2m3f may not be ideal, but he can still break through. Precious Metal, who won a Listed NH Flat race at Cheltenham, has also had the misfortune of bumping into some promising rivals since going hurdling and there has been nothing wrong with his seconds at Stratford and Southwell. Kado Sacree is worth a look following a decent Exeter fourth.
Prediction : 1st Cinquenta 2nd Precious Metal 3rd Kado Sacree

Gary & Josh Moore have sent out some smart types recently and LAURIER DES OBEAUX might be another. Despite showing plenty of greenness, the 42,000-euro purchase stayed on to finish a respectable third behind exciting prospect Minella Marathon over C&D. With that experience under his belt, he can take a big leap forward to strike. Masked Man is the obvious danger after taking the silver medal home in a Grade 2 at Haydock and that form sets the standard. Point-to-point winner Hello Fortune may be the one for third.
Prediction : 1st Laurier Des Obeaux 2nd Masked Man 3rd Hello Fortune

Cheekpieces have sparked GETAWAY WITH YOU into life, with his form figures reading '211' since they went back on. The seven-year-old struck over C&D two starts ago, beating Court One (second) and Simon The Seagull (fourth), which further enhances his claims and it's hard to look past him. More was expected of Bollin Thou when only fourth over 2m7f at Exeter, but this drop in trip might see him in a better light off a career-low rating. Of the remainder, Kankin makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Getaway With You 2nd Bollin Thou 3rd Kankin

A winner at Fontwell on his reappearance, PASO DOBLE faced a stiffer test when third over 2m4f at Sandown last month. This extra test of stamina combined with the drop in class may well bring improvement from Paul Nicholls' charge and he's taken to edge out A Perfect Day, who will likely have come on for his recent third at Chepstow. Hot Rod Lincoln won over fences in testing conditions at Uttoxeter in February and could also shape well.
Prediction : 1st Paso Doble 2nd A Perfect Day 3rd Hot Rod Lincoln

BOBBI'S BEAUTY won last year's inaugural running and another bold bid is anticipated. A recent second at Warwick suggests she's capable of success off this sort of mark, with Freddie Keighley's 7lb allowance further helping her cause. Slow going would be a worry for Touquet, who was narrowly beaten on good ground over C&D last month, so Superstylin could prove a bigger threat on the back of recent placed efforts.
Prediction : 1st Bobbis Beauty 2nd Superstylin 3rd Touquet
