UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

Having returned at an SP of 80/1 when scoring over C&D last month, Under The Sun shouldn't be underestimated in his follow-up bid. However, the five-year-old was well positioned that day and he may be worth taking on with the lightly-raced BALOO'S BLUES, who arrives on the back of a staying-on second over a mile at Kempton and this step up in distance could be the making of him. Pleasant Man is a feasible alternative.
Prediction : 1st Baloos Blues 2nd Under The Sun 3rd Pleasant Man

WISETANCK built on a promising second-placed stable bow over C&D when opening his account at Wolverhampton earlier this month. A 3lb nudge up the ratings for Richard Hughes' colt looks workable and another bold bid is forecast. Sands of Seve proved a different proposition in a first-time visor at Dunstall Park, although a 9lb hike from the assessor demands more. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge from Far Too Fizzy.
Prediction : 1st Wisetanck 2nd Far Too Fizzy 3rd Sands of Seve

SERGEANT PEP did little wrong when dead-heating for third in a competitive class 4 at Newcastle last month and he looks ready for another crack at 7f. The six-year-old remains 4lb below his last winning mark and a sixth career victory may be on the cards. Metallo found himself too far back at Wolverhampton and, despite this trip looking on the sharp side, cannot be written off. Dandy Khan is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Sergeant Pep 2nd Metallo 3rd Dandy Khan

MIGHTY VEGA was only beaten a neck into second over 6f at Newcastle last week and he makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. Okiru also occupied the runner-up berth on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat, especially as first-time cheekpieces may bring out some improvement from him. Others to note are Yachtsman and Pretty Danielle.
Prediction : 1st Mighty Vega 2nd Okiru 3rd Yachtsman

THUNDERHOOF displayed plenty of promise when a close third over this trip at Southwell on his debut last month and Harry Eustace's gelding could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience. Similar comments apply to Stella Lucente, although her lack of a recent run is a slight concern, while any market support for Scheffler would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Thunderhoof 2nd Stella Lucente 3rd Scheffler

Secret Road made a winning stable debut for Laura Mongan over C&D earlier this month and is respected from 5lb higher, but ROYAL JET might be too strong. Tony Carroll's charge put a lacklustre Chelmsford effort behind him to score narrowly over 7f here last week and, with a return to the mile in his favour, he could defy a penalty. Stable companion Youarenotforgiven is also penalised for a cosy Wolverhampton success, but nine-year-old Always Fearless may be a bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Royal Jet 2nd Secret Road 3rd Always Fearless

FORGLEN made it three wins from his last four when on target in an apprentice contest over 1m6f at Southwell a fortnight ago. Ryan Kavanagh, who retains the ride, is able to claim 5lb aboard the gelding this time around and, given the rate at which he is improving, this looks another fine opportunity. Sullivan Bay built on an encouraging return to go agonisingly close at Chelmsford and must be considered along with Sneaky Blinder, who arrives having won over the extended 2m at Wolverhampton recently.
Prediction : 1st Forglen 2nd Sullivan Bay 3rd Sneaky Blinder
