UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Freda belied odds of 33/1 to finish second over the mile here on her debut, which was even more notebook worthy given that she was denied a clear run at a crucial stage. The Decorated Knight filly has the advantage of a recent run in her arsenal and should have what it takes to push ELEMENTS OF FIRE all the way. Archie Watson's new recruit was last seen finishing fourth in a warm novice at Doncaster for the Gosdens and, despite the absence, he can give weight away to score. Holly Mist looks booked for third.
Prediction : 1st Elements Of Fire 2nd Freda 3rd Holly Mist

Ashford Hill showed the benefit of a break to score over C&D last month and whilst a 3lb rise looks fair, PROFIT STREET might be the answer. The Profitable gelding's latest win came over 6f at Wolverhampton in December but he's been lacking an extra gear over that trip in recent starts, so this additional furlong could be exactly what he needs now. Veteran Global Warning appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Profit Street 2nd Ashford Hill 3rd Global Warning

Star Chorus nearly backed up last month's Southwell win with a C&D success but ultimately came out third best in a tight finish. Mike Murphy's charge looks sure to launch another strong challenge, but FIDELIUS could be too strong. The Harry Angel gelding has posted a couple of creditable efforts in two 0-95 contests recently and can show his class in these calmer waters. Conversely, Toolatetonegotiate steps up in class following a narrow C&D triumph, but she should not be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Fidelius 2nd Star Chorus 3rd Toolatetonegotiate

A drop into classified company proved just the tonic for recent Wolverhampton winner FIRST ENCOUNTER. The five-year-old should have more to offer at this level and a switch to Polytrack is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Galette arrives on the back of a respectable third at Dunstall Park, but consistency hasn't been her strong suit in the past. With that in mind a bigger threat may emerge from Unknown Journey, who hit the frame over C&D 12 days ago.
Prediction : 1st First Encounter 2nd Unknown Journey 3rd Galette

Having finished third behind a subsequent winner over 7f here recently, Tilsworth Max must enter calculations in his current heart. However, the six-year-old has yet to convince with his stamina over a mile, and it could be worth chancing ANGELICA K. Simon Hodgson's mare finished a respectable fifth in handicap company at Kempton last month and a similar performance may prove sufficient. Wrist Art is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Angelica K 2nd Tilsworth Max 3rd Wrist Art

DARK SUN's latest second over C&D signalled a return to form and she could be ready to eclipse her rivals. A 1lb nudge up in the ratings could prove lenient for the five-year-old and a breakthrough victory may beckon. Quadruple trip-and-track winner Harry Brown has been creeping down the handicap and is feared most, ahead of fellow in-form rival Sir Rodneyredblood.
Prediction : 1st Dark Sun 2nd Harry Brown 3rd Sir Rodneyredblood

WYLD BILL was brave when scoring narrowly at Kempton in December and has been freshened up since, which is an interesting angle. He'd won impressively over C&D the week before that Kempton triumph and a break might have done him good now he's back going for the three-timer. Kate O'Riley and Epictetus are others to bear in mind, while Plantadream makes some each-way appeal.
Prediction : 1st Wyld Bill 2nd Kate ORiley 3rd Epictetus

Unexposed over this trip, TAKE THE BOAT makes plenty of appeal in the finale. She won readily at Wolverhampton last week when held up in the rear, a performance which suggests she could continue to improve over these types of distances. She's got a 5lb penalty but is still taken to get the better of Three On Thursday and Knight Of Magic.
Prediction : 1st Take The Boat 2nd Three On Thursday 3rd Knight Of Magic
