UK Horse Racing Tips: Hexham

FADING ICON finished second on her most recent outing at Fontwell back in February and has since joined Philip Kirby, for whom she is expected to take a step forward to gain her first success over timber. Cherry Princess was third in this contest off 7lb lower 12 months ago and warrants respect, while Frightened Rabbit benefits from Danny McMenamin's 7lb claim on his seasonal return and could also figure.
Prediction : 1st Fading Icon 2nd Cherry Princess 3rd Frightened Rabbit

This looks a penalty kick for GLINGER FLAME as he attempts to make it three on the bounce here over timber. He won in decisive fashion when dropped to 2m last month and the step back up to this distance, over which he landed a handicap hurdle in March, poses no issue. Lord Roccoco and Ask Jd have shown limited promise so far but they could chase home the selection in a contest lacking depth.
Prediction : 1st Glinger Flame 2nd Lord Roccoco 3rd Ask Jd

ROXYFET ran a lot better when third over C&D last month than he had done on his two previous outings. Based on his latest effort, Micky Hammond's nine-year-old is taken to return to winning ways in a contest that appears to be a match with Quick Brew on paper. Maurice Barnes' charge returned to form when third here 10 days ago, though he may be ideally suited by a longer trip. Goonjim is considered the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Roxyfet 2nd Quick Brew 3rd Goonjim

FOR THREE was an impressive winner of a novice hurdle over C&D earlier in the month and that form suggests that he can make a winning handicap debut off his current mark. Beyondtemptation is another recent course winner (over 2m4f) who has to be respected, while Ormesher and Fanzio are others to consider in what appears to be a wide-open event.
Prediction : 1st For Three 2nd Beyondtemptation 3rd Ormesher

TRUCKERS TANGLE has been running well in defeat of late and the application of first-time cheekpieces may help the seven-year-old get off the mark this evening. Mrs Vonn won well at Kelso two starts ago and her most recent effort over this C&D also offers some encouragement, while Kisumu and Call Me are others worthy of shortlist inclusion.
Prediction : 1st Truckers Tangle 2nd Mrs Vonn 3rd Kisumu

EAGER TO KNOW shaped with promise when fourth at Carlisle last month and the nine-year-old looks sure to have improved for that reappearance outing for last year's winning yard. Decent ground seems to bring the best out of Micky Hammond's charge so he's taken to claim an overdue win under Rules. For Jim battled on bravely to strike at Uttoxeter 17 days ago and remains unexposed over three miles, while Prince Dundee moves up in class as he bids to land a C&D hat-trick.
Prediction : 1st Eager To Know 2nd For Jim 3rd Prince Dundee

New connections will know where they stand with Donnas Dream now after she made a moderate stable debut at Uttoxeter 17 days ago, but she has been dropped 4lb since and now wears blinkers for the first time. Witness returned to form with a C&D success recently but his profile suggests that he isn't sure to follow up, so this could go the way of FARLAM KING. Maurice Barnes' charge has been unlucky to find one too good the last twice but appears to be the most reliable option in the line-up.
Prediction : 1st Farlam King 2nd Witness 3rd Donnas Dream
