UK Horse Racing Tips: Newton Abbot

PACIFY has a double penalty to carry for successes at Uttoxeter and Southwell in recent months, but he seems to be enjoying life in this sphere for Jamie Snowden and can remain unbeaten over hurdles. The seven-year-old has a good attitude and was rated 102 at his pomp on the Flat, so gets the nod ahead of Dawn Trouper, who is an intriguing recruit to hurdling, and Gamekeeper Bill, who wasn't disgraced when third here earlier in the summer.
Prediction : 1st Pacify 2nd Dawn Trouper 3rd Gamekeeper Bill

GREEN ETOILE found things happening a little too fast for him on the Flat at Newmarket in June and could bounce back now returned to hurdling for Alan King. The three-year-old beat a good yardstick at Hexham when last seen in this sphere and is fancied to prove too strong for recent C&D runner-up Must See The Doc. Repetitio was behind Dan Skelton's inmate on that occasion and could take a step forward in his development.
Prediction : 1st Green Etoile 2nd Must See The Doc 3rd Repetitio

BALLON ONABUDGET has found one too good in four of his five starts over hurdles, but that could be about to change now that he moves up in trip after a 33-day break. The bumper winner deserves to add to his career tally and may well do so at the expense of Jimmy Rabbitte, who impressed in victory at Ffos Las a few weeks ago, and Hurricane Dylan, who is versatile.
Prediction : 1st Ballon Onabudget 2nd Jimmy Rabbitte 3rd Hurricane Dylan

DE PLOTTING SHED has plenty of experience from his time in Ireland and could take advantage of what appears to be an excellent opening on just his second start for Suzi Best. The nine-year-old bumped into a smart horse at Fontwell in June and should have come on plenty for that first run after a break. Notnow Seamus is the main danger now moving up in distance, while Asylo is also a threat.
Prediction : 1st De Plotting Shed 2nd Notnow Seamus 3rd Asylo

MANOR PARK has shown promise on both his starts over hurdles and warrants plenty of consideration on his handicap bow. The son of Medicean finished second on his most recent start at Ffos Las to a prolific winner and remains unexposed in this sphere. C&D winner Empreinte Reconce could take a step forward on her first outing after a wind operation, while the hat-trick seeking Khismet cannot be discounted despite a 13lb rise in the handicap.
Prediction : 1st Manor Park 2nd Empreinte Reconce 3rd Khismet

BLACK ANTHEM has clearly taken a step forward in two starts over timber for Dr Richard Newland, a win at Stratford followed up by a second at Cartmel, and the return to fences could yield further improvement from the seven-year-old. The drop in distance could see Skinflint be more competitive as he returns to the larger obstacles, while Golander could improve from his first outing for Jimmy Frost, having finished third at Stratford at the start of the month.
Prediction : 1st Black Anthem 2nd Skinflint 3rd Golander

I'M NOTAPARTYGIRL finished third on her second appearance at this track when last seen and the daughter of Arvico has shown enough to suggest she can land a contest of this nature. Rosie Picture is entitled to take a step forward from her C&D fourth last month and, along with Brooklyn Belle, who finished sixth on her racecourse bow at Uttoxeter, can give the selection the most to think about.
Prediction : 1st Im Notapartygirl 2nd Rosie Picture 3rd Brooklyn Belle
