UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Having been sent off at big prices for each of her four starts in maiden/novice company, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Real Gold produce a much better effort on her nursery debut. Similar comments apply to Slack Bob for the Ed Dunlop team, but the vote goes to CORNICHE GIRL. Already a winner over this trip, Richard Hannon's juvenile might have found the drop to the minimum distance against her last time and could bounce back.
Prediction : 1st Corniche Girl 2nd Real Gold 3rd Slack Bob

A silver medallist on both of his career starts, Angel Gabriel boasts obvious claims but the fact he failed to justify cramped odds at Southwell last time tempers enthusiasm. Therefore, it might be worth taking a chance on CRYINGINTHERAIN, who wasn't able to live up to market expectations when well beaten on debut at the same venue in October. That is unlikely to be her true running and she could prove a different proposition second time up. Hen Party completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Cryingintherain 2nd Angel Gabriel 3rd Hen Party

The eye is immediately drawn to Al Qaysiyya after her runner-up effort over 7f at Kempton earlier this month and she is sure to be thereabouts, but ALLAIRE makes lots of appeal on paper. Andrew Balding's filly is a half-sister to St Leger winner Eldar Eldarov and, although her pedigree suggests she will improve as she steps up in trip, this looks a good starting point. The market may tell us more about newcomer Felicitas.
Prediction : 1st Allaire 2nd Al Qaysiyya 3rd Felicitas

Just a tentative vote in weak handicap is for COLORS OF FREEDOM, who often runs well without winning but is a previous C&D winner and she's got bottom weight too. Gogo Yubari is one of two other track-and-trip winners in the field and she's noted along with South Shore Island, who has claims on his penultimate course effort when second.
Prediction : 1st Colors Of Freedom 2nd Gogo Yubari 3rd South Shore Island

PROFIT STREET was on really good terms with himself when landing a bit of a gamble at Wolverhampton latest and, assuming he's in the same form, James Owen's charge should go very close. His stable companion Neptune Legend is another last-start winner to consider and it's also worth keeping a close eye on distance winner All Too Beautiful and Nordic Glory.
Prediction : 1st Profit Street 2nd Neptune Legend 3rd All Too Beautiful

LATIN should take a bit of beating judged on recent form. Second over C&D two starts ago and, given a break since his latest runner-up effort at Southwell, it surely won't be long before the Bath scorer gets back in the winning groove. Tommy's Promise won well at Chelmsford recently and heads the list of dangers from Newcastle winner Krissy.
Prediction : 1st Latin 2nd Tommys Promise 3rd Krissy

KNIGHT OF MAGIC has been running consistently well of late and James Owen's gelding has every chance of going one better after his latest second here over a longer trip behind a progressive rival. The step back up in trip is likely to help Three On Thursday, having been outpaced at a crucial point over a mile last month, while Sir Laurence Graff is capable of going well too.
Prediction : 1st Knight Of Magic 2nd Three On Thursday 3rd Sir Laurence Graff

NEBULA STARS can strike at the third time of asking in the UK. After racing initially in Hong Kong, the seven-year-old returned from a lengthy spell on the sidelines with two very commendable efforts and the gelding makes plenty of appeal in what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Borderline Madness won here in September and is likely to go well along with The Dark Baron and Gladiadora.
Prediction : 1st Nebula Stars 2nd Borderline Madness 3rd The Dark Baron

HARD ENDEAVOR was considered good enough for a crack at a Listed event following his Kempton novice success. The son of New Bay wasn't disgraced on his visit to Deauville at the end of last month and the extra yardage on handicap debut may yield further improvement. King's Code is in terrific form at the moment as he bids for a fourth win from his last five starts. Have Secret is next best.
Prediction : 1st Hard Endeavor 2nd Kings Code 3rd Have Secret
