UK Horse Racing Tips: Fakenham

Zoffany Bay has to be respected having been narrowly beaten in a handicap hurdle over two miles here last month but he could struggle to give 6lb to RED ROYALIST. Stuart Edmunds' gelding made the frame in both starts over hurdles late last year and he has run well enough on the Flat twice since then. Sudden Destination has struggled in two starts over hurdles but it is too soon to be writing him off completely.
Prediction : 1st Red Royalist 2nd Zoffany Bay 3rd Sudden Destination

CYRIUS MORIVIERE has lost his way under Rules in the last 12 months but he ran well between the flags a few weeks ago and can be given another chance this afternoon. Llancillo Lord was an impressive winner of a point-to-point eights days ago and he should give the selection plenty to think about. Allie Beag and Postbridge both have minor claims but the latter is the pick of the pair.
Prediction : 1st Cyrius Moriviere 2nd Llancillo Lord 3rd Postbridge

RAVENOUS was out of his depth on the Flat last time out but he had previously run very well over hurdles at Wincanton and he should be capable of winning this race off his current mark. Generous Jack's winning run came to an end over C&D last time out but he should not be discounted, while Bold Reason and Glimpse Of Gold are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Ravenous 2nd Generous Jack 3rd Bold Reason

HAMMERSLY LAKE has been highly tried on multiple occasions this season but he was not disgraced on his return to handicap company at Warwick last month. He arrives here 8lb below his last winning mark and has to be given the utmost respect, despite having to carry a huge weight. Minella On Line is another who appears to be finding his form again based on his most recent start and he edges out Value At Risk to be the best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Hammersly Lake 2nd Minella On Line 3rd Value At Risk

DESERT SENSATION was a solid third behind the progressive Solo Saxophone at Wetherby last time and that form is worth following given that the winner went on to follow up at Hexham just four days later off 7lb higher. The selection should appreciate this additional yardage and could take another step forward for his shrewd handler. Acertain Circus likes it here and returned to form when scoring at Market Rasen recently, while Hear The Chimes is consistent and goes well on a decent terrain.
Prediction : 1st Desert Sensation 2nd Acertain Circus 3rd Hear The Chimes

Nicky Henderson has won the last two renewals of this contest and has one runner here owned by The Queen in the shape of ITALIAN SUMMER. Related to plenty of winners over 2m, this daughter of Milan is fancied to prove too strong for those with experience. The best of those could be Crem Fresh, who was far from disgraced at Taunton last time when just over five lengths behind the talented Miss Honey Ryder. Hope And Gloria might prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Italian Summer 2nd Crem Fresh 3rd Hope And Gloria

SIR JACK YEATS beat prolific point-to-point scorer Silvergrove by 30 lengths here last month and having finished a creditable sixth in the Aintree Foxhunters' since, is fancied to confirm the form for Richard Spencer. The step back up in trip shouldn't deter the eight-year-old and a return to good ground is also expected to suit after he just failed to get home at the Liverpool venue on a tacky surface 18 days ago.
Prediction : 1st Sir Jack Yeats 2nd Silvergrove 3rd
