UK Horse Racing Tips: Lingfield

With several making their handicap debuts, this looks open so only a tentative vote can go to MOSTAAN. The Owen Burrows-trained Too Darn Hot colt showed ability in maiden/novice company and with his dam out of a half-sister to Derby and Arc hero Golden Horn, it might be that he steps forward over this type of trip. Light Dreamer stuck to her task behind an easy winner at Hamilton and remains capable of better, as does the hat-trick seeking Alice De Clare.
Prediction : 1st Mostaan 2nd Light Dreamer 3rd Alice De Clare

This won't take much winning and it might pay to side with HENFIELD. Karen Jewell's new recruit was well held in a trio of maidens last season, but shaped with far more promise than the bare result would suggest on her handicap debut at Windsor last month. A step up in trip is likely to suit, and a drop into classified company will do her chance no harm either. Belle Of Kt was in fine form earlier in the year and should prove popular, although she's unraced on grass and recent C&D second Shifra could be a bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Henfield 2nd Shifra 3rd Belle Of Kt

MOONLIT CLOUD has generally struggled so far this term, but it is interesting that she was sent off joint-favourite for a Bath handicap last time. Dean Ivory's mare has an excellent chance on these terms and perhaps a maiden foray into classified company will see her to greater effect. Monks Mead is another who should benefit from a drop in class and don't rule out Pam's Sonnet, whose pedigree suggests a step up in trip will suit. Of course, the complexion of the race is completely different if Rockafeller Skank makes another swift return to action.
Prediction : 1st Moonlit Cloud 2nd Monks Mead 3rd Pams Sonnet

CAPE FEAR has been knocking on the door of late and that includes a narrow defeat at Redcar last time. On that evidence, the son of Kameko could be hard to beat in a race of this nature. Moon Zabeel is closely related to some high-class performers and is a newcomer to note, while Joanna Hiffernan is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Cape Fear 2nd Moon Zabeel 3rd Joanna Hiffernan

ROGUE EMPIRE added to his C&D win two starts ago when readily taking an apprentice race at Kempton last week. Without a penalty for that latest success, the four-year-old is 8lb well-in and is very hard to oppose as a result. An Bradan Feasa is likely to pose the biggest threat to the selection, although Diamond Bay should not be discounted.
Prediction : 1st Rogue Empire 2nd An Bradan Feasa 3rd Diamond Bay

KEN BRULEE won over 6f at this venue two starts ago, but disappointed when favourite at Bath on his most recent outing. However, it would be no surprise to see Mark Usher's gelding bounce back to form given how weak this contest appears to be. Lesley Buckley was four lengths behind the selection last time, but still makes more appeal than Kodi K.
Prediction : 1st Ken Brulee 2nd Lesley Buckley 3rd Kodi K

HEDDON STREET won't be much of a price here, but should take some stopping. Michael Bell's gelding has got a penalty for winning on debut at Yarmouth and probably just bumped into a smart one at Leicester when attempting to double up. This doesn't look as tough and he can resume winning ways at the expense of Rumble Ruby and newcomer Eveninginparis.
Prediction : 1st Heddon Street 2nd Rumble Ruby 3rd Eveninginparis

MAGNIFICENT MEL gets a tentative vote in a trappy classified stakes to close the card. She didn't show her best at Bath a couple of starts ago, but did finish second in handicap company before that at Nottingham and hit the frame once again back at Bath in this grade last time. Lion Ring offered a lot more at Wolverhampton and is noted along with Charging Bull.
Prediction : 1st Magnificent Mel 2nd Lion Ring 3rd Charging Bull
