UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Man Is King is expected to give it a good go under a penalty for winning at Chelmsford last Sunday, but it was only a classified stakes race and the quick turnaround might just catch him out. With that in mind, SHAHBAZ looks the safe play on the evidence of his close second at Wolverhampton last time in handicap company. Bownder is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Shahbaz 2nd Man Is King 3rd Bownder

Into The Light is the sole newcomer going to post and must be taken seriously given his powerful connections. However, experience can win the day and AL AZD produced his best effort so far when switched to the all-weather at Kempton last month. He can go one better than that encouraging second, while Kindly Queen is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Al Azd 2nd Into The Light 3rd Kindly Queen

THECOFFEEPODDOTCO looks the one to be on. She just got going all too late at Wolverhampton on Monday and is well worth another chance given she scored over C&D on her penultimate start. Mick's Spirit is another track-and-trip winner to consider closely in this sprint handicap and those looking for some each-way value might want to bear Honour Your Dreams in mind.
Prediction : 1st Thecoffeepoddotco 2nd Micks Spirit 3rd Honour Your Dreams

ELOUISE'S PRINCE recorded a comfortable success over C&D a week ago despite a lack of support in the market. However, that might have been down to his unproven stamina over a mile, but punters will surely take note this time around and he is expected to defy a 5lb rise in the handicap. Way To Dubai was fourth that day but can't be written off, and nor can Union Island, who sports cheekpieces for the first time following a creditable third at Chelmsford.
Prediction : 1st Elouises Prince 2nd Way To Dubai 3rd Union Island

Legal Reform backed up his Boxing Day win with a good second at Southwell and is likely to go well again, but preference is afforded to WILTSHIRE. William Haggas' charge caught the eye when keeping on from off the pace over 6f at Newcastle, so it's possible that a return to 7f holds the key to him now. Heathcliff was only beaten half a length into third at Kempton last time out and looks a real player from an unchanged mark.
Prediction : 1st Wiltshire 2nd Legal Reform 3rd Heathcliff

WHO'S ON FIRST reaped the rewards of a smart ride to shed his maiden tag at Chelmsford last Sunday and is quickly turned out under a penalty. With Jack Dace negating most of that with his claim, he looks the one to beat. Uncle Nader showed improvement in first-time cheekpieces when successful over C&D and should mount a bold bid, despite being 6lb higher. Corniche Girl is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Whos On First 2nd Uncle Nader 3rd Corniche Girl

COMBUSTION got the better of a subsequent winner when justifying favouritism over track and trip last month and a 3lb rise might prove to be lenient. With a similar performance, he could be hard to stop. All Too Beautiful and Due Date both failed in their bids for four-timers but it would be foolish to write either of them off.
Prediction : 1st Combustion 2nd All Too Beautiful 3rd Due Date
