UK Horse Racing Tips: Wetherby

ISAAC WONDER took a big step forward, although still beaten nine lengths, when finishing second at Huntingdon last month, probably because he had less on his plate in maiden company than when fifth in the juvenile heat at Warwick the time before. The son of Born To Sea has been found another good opening and gets the vote ahead of Fransham, who performed well for second in a handicap here latest, and For Three.
Prediction : 1st Isaac Wonder 2nd Fransham 3rd For Three

American Tom has finished a beaten favourite in similar races the last twice and, although very much capable on the pick of his form for Willie Mullins, is taken on with CARRIGMOORNA MATT. He restored some confidence courtesy of a ready Stratford success in this grade last month, beating the reopposing Ardera Cross by half a length, and another bold showing looks assured. Oscar Hoof is another to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Carrigmoorna Matt 2nd American Tom 3rd Ardera Cross

LAS TUNAS won in good style over C&D a fortnight ago when beating the reopposing Oliver's Gold by seven lengths and it is hard to see the latter being able to reverse the form with the seven-year-old gelding. He has done little wrong since falling at Ayr over fences in January and may have further scope for improvement. Reverse The Charge was unable to land the hat-trick at Catterick in December but could benefit from having had wind surgery.
Prediction : 1st Las Tunas 2nd Olivers Gold 3rd Reverse The Charge

DE FORGOTTEN ONE ran too keenly when fourth at Doncaster on his latest start but the application of a hood could see Tim Vaughan's charge settle down enough to make an impact on his handicap debut. Morraman is capable of improving on his second outing after a wind operation, while Zamoyski can be forgiven his latest start when pulled up at Warwick as his form prior to that effort had been fairly consistent.
Prediction : 1st De Forgotten One 2nd Morraman 3rd Zamoyski

ASK PADDINGTON battled on well to score over this trip on his handicap debut at Kelso last time and is expected to remain competitive after a 4lb rise and follow up to notch a hat-trick. Jack Lamb is worth a market check on his first start since striking off 3lb lower at Kelso in October, while there could be a big run on the cards from Kim Bailey's Arthur's Sixpence, who steps back up in trip and is fitted with a first-time tongue-tie on his handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Ask Paddington 2nd Jack Lamb 3rd Arthurs Sixpence

LET'S GET AT IT romped to a comfortable victory over 2m7f in a handicap at Market Rasen last month and has a strong chance of completing a hat-trick, despite his penalty, if he returns in a similar mood. Trio For Rio has been highly tried and is considered the principal threat under Richard Johnson on these terms, though it would also come as no surprise to see Martin Keighley's representative, Big Nasty, go well now debuting over obstacles.
Prediction : 1st Lets Get At It 2nd Trio For Rio 3rd Big Nasty

FINGERONTHESWITCH certainly wasn't disgraced when third in the Listed Badger Ales Trophy at Wincanton last time and the dual C&D scorer makes plenty of appeal dropping in class off a 1lb lower mark. From further down the weights, Never Up must enter calculations following his 2m4f success on heavy ground at Carlisle, while Newtown Lad warrants respect having backed up his Chepstow success with a solid placed effort at Fontwell.
Prediction : 1st Fingerontheswitch 2nd Never Up 3rd Newtown Lad

The form of PRAY FOR A RAINBOW's second behind Coopers Square at Huntingdon looks rock solid with his conqueror successful twice since and Samuel Drinkwater's eight-year-old gets the nod here, despite a 4lb rise. It's All About Me was touched off at Catterick on New Year's Day and she is likely to be in the shake-up again, while Border Victor, Wig Wam Wiggle and Ask Paddy add further spice to the event.
Prediction : 1st Pray For A Rainbow 2nd Its All About Me 3rd Border Victor
