UK Horse Racing Tips: Huntingdon

FINAWN BAWN has skipped an intended engagement at the Cheltenham Festival to come here and having finished third in a Grade 2 at Warwick, only five lengths adrift of the winner, looks likely to take all the beating today up against much easier opposition. Kingofthecotswolds is on an upward curve and opened his account at Ludlow last time. The step up in trip is well worth trying and he leads the opposition ahead of Neil Mulholland's Mind Your Back and Ah Well, who was third at Doncaster last time.
Prediction : 1st Finawn Bawn 2nd Kingofthecotswolds 3rd Ah Well

A drop back in trip could help Carlo Rocks, who was well held when sent off favourite off a 1lb higher mark at Market Rasen last time and has smart form with ease in the ground so any further rain is a bonus. However, preference is for VIVACCIO, who was beaten less than a length off this rating at Exeter earlier this month and looks to have a fantastic chance of going one better this time. The veteran Vinnie Red and Johnny Yuma have questions to answer now, but could have a say in deciding the minor money.
Prediction : 1st Vivaccio 2nd Carlo Rocks 3rd Johnny Yuma

BISOUBISOU was much happier back over hurdles when second at Fakenham last time and is entitled to play a leading part once again off the same mark here. Mabela is an interesting recruit to handicapping having had plenty of practice in maiden and novice hurdles, while similar applies to See Forever, who plugged on well for fourth at Leicester and will appreciate the step up to 2m4f.
Prediction : 1st Bisoubisou 2nd See Forever 3rd Mabela

SHANROE TIC TEC stayed on strongly for pressure to win an amateur riders' contest at Sandown last week and has a great chance of quickly following up under a 4lb penalty if that effort hasn't taken too much out of Ben Pauling's gelding. Derrynane was a winner under this rider at Market Rasen when last seen and has to be respected, with a similar circuit likely to suit, while Gin And Tonic was second over course and distance last month and is just 1lb higher this time.
Prediction : 1st Shanroe Tic Tec 2nd Derrynane 3rd Gin And Tonic

ENLIGHTEN has shaped with plenty of promise in the bumper sphere, making it fourth-time lucky at Kelso last month, and Michael Easterby's charge looks to have a big chance on his hurdling bow. Bbold bounced back to form at Ludlow last time and should make his presence felt, while Cardigan Bay, who has placed in both hurdle starts thus far, and Ludlow runner-up Lucky Lover Boy are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Enlighten 2nd Bbold 3rd Cardigan Bay

COOPERS SQUARE has impressively notched a C&D/Uttoxeter double and, despite a 10lb hike in the ratings, he could take some stopping in his bid to complete the hat-trick. Arthur's Reuben, a course regular, lines up off the same mark as when third over track and trip last time and he rates the biggest threat, ahead of Misdflight, who wasn't beaten too far on his comeback run in a class 4 event at Ayr.
Prediction : 1st Coopers Square 2nd Arthurs Reuben 3rd Misdflight

BEYOND REDEMPTION was bought for 140,000 pounds shortly after his impressive point-to-point victory at Loughanmore in November and he will be well fancied to make a winning debut under NH rules. Sadlermor ran to a fair level first time out at Wincanton and he should give another good account, similarly Soyouthinksoagain, who hit the frame on his debut at Lingfield.
Prediction : 1st Beyond Redemption 2nd Sadlermor 3rd Soyouthinksoagain
