UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Having finished a close-up second on his nursery bow at Chelmsford recently, MARSEILLAN has plenty going for him reverting to novice company. Lemos De Souza's gelding should put his experience to good use and a breakthrough victory may beckon. Although Wind Summer is rated 5lb inferior to the selection, he should be in the mix once more. However, a bigger threat may emerge from Eternity's Sunrise, who was a promising third on debut at Wolverhampton last month.
Prediction : 1st Marseillan 2nd Eternitys Sunrise 3rd Wind Summer

Alpine Culture displayed enough ability on his opening fourth at Southwell earlier this month to suggest that he can get involved at this level. A drop in distance could suit the son of Showcasing and he's not taken lightly, but HEN PARTY looks the one to beat. Ed Dunlop's filly has hit the frame on her last three outings and compensation could be imminent. Market support for newcomer Grey Force would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Hen Party 2nd Alpine Culture 3rd Grey Force

Up The Agenda continued his upward trajectory when completing a double at Newcastle 18 days ago and a 4lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. However, LORD HARCOURT's breakthrough victory over C&D earlier this month could prove to be stronger form, with the third subsequently scoring on Boxing Day. Ed Walker's inmate is slightly more compelling and further glory may be imminent. Reopposing runner-up Akabusi must also enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st Lord Harcourt 2nd Up The Agenda 3rd Akabusi

CLEARPOINT has proved a revelation since being ridden more positively and a four-timer could be on the cards. The five-year-old is only 4lb higher than his latest triumph at Wolverhampton and may still be a step ahead of the assessor. Baldomero has scored on two of his last three outings and is likely to be in the thick of the action once more, with Almaty Star the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Clearpoint 2nd Baldomero 3rd Almaty Star

Last-time-out winners Nebras and Duke's Command merit respect in their current fettle, but the ratings suggest that improvement will be needed on this step into Listed company. With that in mind, the 108-rated TYRRHENIAN SEA could be the way to go. Roger Varian's veteran arrives on the back of a good third over 1m at Kempton and he looks ready for a return to this trip.
Prediction : 1st Tyrrhenian Sea 2nd Nebras 3rd Dukes Command

A 1lb ease in the ratings could prove to be lenient for last-time-out course third WAY TO DUBAI and a fourth career victory may be on the cards. The son of Holy Roman Emperor has been shaping as if a return to this distance will suit and he edges the vote over Rey De La Batalla. The four-year-old finished third over 7f here recently and a similar performance should see him involved. The downgraded Invited may also feature.
Prediction : 1st Way To Dubai 2nd Rey De La Batalla 3rd Invited

LADY MANZOR is one of just two C&D winners in this field and, prior to a break, she was holding her form well enough to suggest she ought to go very close. 5lb claimer Jack Dace gets on well with the progressive filly and she can sign off for 2025 in style. Gaiety Musical and Kindest Nation are the dangers.
Prediction : 1st Lady Manzor 2nd Gaiety Musical 3rd Kindest Nation

TWILIGHT MADNESS can send his supporters home smiling in the finale by completing his hat-trick. He's galloped his rivals into the ground the last twice over C&D and then at Wolverhampton, and it will take a brave punter to oppose him while he's in this kind of form. Of the others, keep C&D winner Lazzar and Woodhay Whisper in mind.
Prediction : 1st Twilight Madness 2nd Lazzar 3rd Woodhay Whisper
