UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

A number of these could yet find some improvement, but KEEP IT CLASSIC has the form in the book and is fancied to shed his maiden tag. The son of Too Darn Hot left only a moderate handicap debut behind him to go very close at Haydock three weeks ago, and any further progress might suffice. Mick The Hat may do better at this longer trip so he warrants a market check, and also keep in mind Fletcher, who shaped with promise on his seasonal return last month.
Prediction : 1st Keep It Classic 2nd Mick The Hat 3rd Fletcher

While a few of these arrive with something to prove, it looks best to stick with PRIDE OF NEPAL. The eight-year-old was slowly away but came home best of all to record a decisive success at Windsor and still appears to have a bit in hand from a 6lb higher mark. Crafter and Cezarro head the list of immediate dangers.
Prediction : 1st Pride Of Nepal 2nd Crafter 3rd Cezarro

Sweet Reward cruised to victory over 1m2f here three weeks ago and must be respected, despite a 7lb hike, as must Ayr victor Footwork. However, a chance can be taken on the David Simcock-trained QUAMBY. The filly returned to action with a creditable fourth at Ascot earlier this month but is now afforded an ease in class. With improvement likely, she might be the value.
Prediction : 1st Quamby 2nd Sweet Reward 3rd Footwork

Matriarchal recorded a maiden victory at Navan and she is certainly one to consider, but has to give 7lb to newcomer ALTA REGINA which may prove a huge ask. Bought for 240,000gns after impressing at the Craven Breeze-Up, the Sioux Nation filly is taken to live up to her reputation. Queencard is another of interest after weakening into fourth at Newmarket on debut with the furlong shorter trip here expected to suit and she may get the better of Glamorize for third.
Prediction : 1st Alta Regina 2nd Matriarchal 3rd Glamorize

With very little form to work with, Charlie Johnson's Sword Salute could prove popular after finishing third at Redcar on his sole start, although he may need a step forward. Dylan Cunha introduces an interesting newcomer in Pj's Corner, a son of Kameko who is worth a market watch, but a risk is taken on WADIMA. Marco Botti's daughter of Harry Angel looks bred to be suited by this trip, and if she lives up to her pedigree she may have too much speed for these.
Prediction : 1st Wadima 2nd Sword Salute 3rd Pjs Corner

VIDMIYR made all by four lengths over 7f here last time and if he isn't bothered on the front end once again, the Footstepsinthesand colt has every chance of doubling up. Raging Raj has been tried unsuccessfully in slightly better races and is one to consider for the places, although the Chester winner Berkshire Boom and the hat-trick seeking Velvet Rhythm may still have his measure on their better form.
Prediction : 1st Vidmiyr 2nd Berkshire Boom 3rd Velvet Rhythm

Lahina Bay has won seven races in total, five of them over this trip and the latest off this mark here on the all-weather, and she would be a danger to all if back to her best. TWILIGHT JET scored by a half-length over C&D last time and although upped 3lb, jockey Ashley Lewis claims that back from the saddle. He has won at up to Group 3 level in the distant past and may still be capable of taking this. Newcastle third Woolridge is another to consider, alongside Invincible Speed.
Prediction : 1st Twilight Jet 2nd Lahina Bay 3rd Woolridge
