UK Horse Racing Tips: Fontwell

KING MURO thrived on his first start following wind surgery when scoring at Plumpton earlier this month and could have more in the locker following a 6lb rise here. Macksville makes his first start for Emma-Jane Bishop and the six-year-old was a winner at Huntingdon when last seen in October, while Soulsaver was only beaten a head at Wincanton last time and the course winner now drops back in trip off just a 2lb higher rating.
Prediction : 1st King Muro 2nd Macksville 3rd null

The return of blinkers helped NEWTOWN LAD make all at Chepstow last week and Michael Scudamore's nine-year-old could get his own way up front once again under a 7lb penalty. The Happy Chappy stayed on into second in the Cambridgeshire National last time and a 2lb lower mark and a first-time visor here could help Sarah Humphrey's runner go one better, while Buble was a winner over hurdles at Hereford earlier this month and is interesting making just his second chase appearance.
Prediction : 1st Newtown Lad 2nd The Happy Chappy 3rd null

LE LIGERIEN has chased home some really useful rivals of late and the step up in trip gives Philip Hobbs' six-year-old the chance to get off the mark following some encouraging performances in defeat. Bitofblinding was last seen finishing down the field in a hot bumper at Ascot, but that race has seen many of its competitors win subsequently and he is interesting on his timber bow following wind surgery. Former Willie Mullins inmate Jonnigraig is worthy of a market check in a first-time hood, while the best may yet to be seen from Ifyoucanseemenow.
Prediction : 1st Le Ligerien 2nd Bitofblinding 3rd null

CYBALKO's jumping somewhat fell apart in the latter stages when coming under pressure at Southwell last time, but nevertheless he looked the most likely winner if he had not falling at the last and can gain some compensation here if the first-time visor has the desired effect. Waikiki Waves is respected having won two of his last three, while the return to two miles could suit Red Devil Star, who was third here last time, and has won over course and distance in the past.
Prediction : 1st Cybalko 2nd Waikiki Waves 3rd null

ESPOIR DE LOIRE reaped the rewards from a wind operation when getting off the mark under Rules at Warwick last time and could double up here for Ben Pauling and Nico De Boinville. The five-year-old remains open to plenty of improvement and the form of that success was boosted when the third won at Hereford earlier in the week. Manning Estate won cosily at Doncaster four weeks ago but has to give the selection 6lb, while recent Plumpton scorer Steel Bob might require softer ground.
Prediction : 1st Espoir De Loire 2nd Manning Estate 3rd null

TRUCKERS TANGLE should appreciate this drop in trip after narrowly failing to get home over further at Market Rasen last time when second, and looks poised to claim an overdue success for Alexandra Dunn. The drop down to class 5 company can see the seven-year-old shed the maiden tag at the expense of Bally Lagan, who was an admirable second at Leicester earlier this month for Robin Dickin. Vexillum can prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Truckers Tangle 2nd Bally Lagan 3rd null

FELICIDAD has shown promise in her short career so far for Nick Williams, finding one too good in both bumpers outings since a decent debut in France, and could get off the mark following a 128-day break. Second to subsequent Grade 1 third Surin at Market Rasen in October before claiming the silver medal at Warwick in November, the four-year-old receives a weight and sex allowance here and makes greater appeal than recent Kempton third Kost A Coat. Republican looks best on paper of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Felicidad 2nd Kost A Coat 3rd null
