UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

BUY THE DIP went up 7lb for a C&D win in this grade on his penultimate start and found the combination of stepping up in class and racing wide did him no favours back here most recently. It could be a different story back at this level with the 3lb claimer, Luke Catton, returning to the saddle to ease the burden for the joint top weight. Virtue Patience is dangerous to underestimate and merits a betting check, while Pitney and Play Me can also figure.
Prediction : 1st Buy The Dip 2nd Virtue Patience 3rd Pitney

SOUTHBANK handles Polytrack well and, having won off higher marks before, he looks a tempting proposition on these terms. Walking On Clouds was only a half-length behind the selection when they clashed over C&D in April and is a key player, despite his best all-weather form being posted elsewhere. Chasing Gold also has the ability to go close but he often gets upset in the stalls.
Prediction : 1st Southbank 2nd Walking On Clouds 3rd Chasing Gold

Astrological stepped forward from a promising debut second at Wolverhampton when winning cosily at the same venue on his next start. A mark of 72 is manageable for his handicap bow and a bold showing looks likely. However, given the runner-up has won since, there is a bit more substance to CHARLES DARNAY's win at Kempton and he shades the vote with further progression likely. Starship Trooper is the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Charles Darnay 2nd Astrological 3rd Starship Trooper

Ryan Moore arrives for just one mount and MRAIR can ensure that it ends with success. The son of Mehmas hit the woodwork on his debut at Newmarket having been well backed, but that form looks strong as the winner probably would have followed up at Yarmouth were it not for a late mishap. Storm Blade, who is a full-brother to the useful Storm Star, is one to respect, likewise Final Objective.
Prediction : 1st Mrair 2nd Storm Blade 3rd Final Objective

Chasse Patate split rivals rated 73 and 78 when third on her introduction at Kempton, and that level of form looks useful in the context of this race. Star Banner probably achieved similar on his racecourse bow and is considered along with Perola, who already has a number of creditable efforts to his name. However, a chance can be taken on KENNINGTON. On his first outing, Hughie Morrison's gelding went largely unbacked on the all-weather track here in April but he still finished a respectable third, and improvement is likely now sent onto the grass.
Prediction : 1st Kennington 2nd Chasse Patate 3rd Star Banner

ROGUE DYNASTY looked a little in need of the run on her seasonal return in March, but she showed a fair level of form on the grass last season and is fancied to take a step forward in first-time cheekpieces. Tattie Bogle is likely to prove popular and rightly so, given that he has a win and a second in the book from his last three starts. Ironist has already posted a couple of creditable efforts this term and can make her presence felt once again.
Prediction : 1st Rogue Dynasty 2nd Tattie Bogle 3rd Ironist
