UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

THECOFFEEPODDOTCO has improved since returning from a break with a string of consistent efforts and this may be the day that Richard Hannon's filly gets her head in front for the first time. Gustav Graves didn't get the rub of the green when fourth at Wolverhampton last week and is respected along with Level Up, who finished third over C&D on his penultimate start.
Prediction : 1st Thecoffeepoddotco 2nd Gustav Graves 3rd Level Up

Maskatto needed every yard of the trip to score over C&D at the start of the month and it wouldn't be a huge shock if Andrew Balding's colt wanted further already to be seen to best effect. With that in mind, preference is for SPACE INVASION. He got off the mark here at the third time of asking and an opening mark of 80 appears to be more than fair. Sovereign Wealth and Try Storm Cat complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Space Invasion 2nd Maskatto 3rd Sovereign Wealth

POKE THE BEAR won here over 7f last Saturday and the return to a mile will definitely play to his strengths. Despite carrying a 5lb penalty for that success, the four-year-old may prove a tough nut to crack. Celtic John won a classified event over C&D when last seen and commands plenty of respect, while Volendam appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Poke The Bear 2nd Celtic John 3rd Volendam

Royal Jet has won two of his last three starts and is entitled to the utmost respect, as is Tilsworth Max, who defeated a pair of subsequent scorers over C&D. Sarabi is worth a second look, despite her lack of proven stamina, but a chance can be taken on HUNTLY LODGE. Amanda Perrett's charge took a big step forward to finish fourth over the mile here and is still lightly raced. The drop in trip could be beneficial and the application of first-time blinkers might eke out more too.
Prediction : 1st Huntly Lodge 2nd Royal Jet 3rd Tilsworth Max

There has been no stopping TOMMY'S PROMISE, whose winning streak started at Chelmsford last month. He's since added a hat-trick of C&D victories and although the latest was the narrowest of all, he is still fancied to defy a further 4lb rise. That hike now looks fair considering the runner-up has notched up a double in recent days. Alta Rica went close in a blanket finish over track and trip and is considered, while Bownder completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Tommys Promise 2nd Alta Rica 3rd Bownder

Although Chhota Saab hasn't been the most consistent, he has some fair form in the book and will put his experience to good use. A repeat of last month's third here should see him in the mix, but there are some intriguing newcomers on show. SILENT STRIKE, a 220,000-euro half-brother to Listed sprint winner Stormy Girl, tops the bill and market support would increase confidence. Fellow debutant Seven Of Hearts is another of interest.
Prediction : 1st Silent Strike 2nd Chhota Saab 3rd Seven Of Hearts

All Too Beautiful has proved a revelation since returning to the all-weather and she merits respect in her bid to complete a four-timer. However, a 5lb higher mark for her latest triumph over C&D could leave her vulnerable and it may be worth chancing INVINCIBLE SPEED. Mark Loughnane's inmate found himself with too much to do when fourth at Southwell and this smaller-field affair should suit. Porfin completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Invincible Speed 2nd All Too Beautiful 3rd Porfin
