UK Horse Racing Tips: Newton Abbot

EMERALD ROCKET has been a really consistent sort this year, despite not looking the most resolute in a finish. Olly Murphy has found what looks an ideal opportunity to break his duck and the booking of Richard Johnson suggests connections mean business. Caswell Bay has struggled in handicaps the last twice but could be better in this company, while 62-rated Flat performer Top Beak might be a threat despite being beaten in a selling handicap on the level when last seen.
Prediction : 1st Emerald Rocket 2nd Caswell Bay 3rd Top Beak

BRAMBLE BROOK's winless streak is up to nine races and 15 months, but he ran well for second over course and distance last time and could dominate this field from the front. Triple Chief has finished second on four of his last five starts and runs off the same mark yet again, while Field Exhibition is on the same rating as when successful over timber at Musselburgh in February but will need the return to fencing to bring about improvement.
Prediction : 1st Bramble Brook 2nd Triple Chief 3rd Field Exhibition

Empreinte Reconce scored with some authority here last week and has to be respected under a 7lb penalty, while Carntop ran well to score at Southwell last month and a 4lb rise might not be enough to stop him in his tracks. However, LEGAL HISTORY was second in Listed company at Market Rasen last time, despite making a number of jumping errors, and if David Pipe has ironed those problems out he could prove very hard to beat.
Prediction : 1st Legal History 2nd Empreinte Reconce 3rd Carntop

The step up to this trip seemed to suit DOCTOR LOOK HERE perfectly last time, as he won easily despite idling a little in the closing stages over course and distance, and Sue Gardner's charge can defy a 6lb rise. Glanvilles Guest was only half a length away from victory at Worcester latest and she does like it here, although a bigger danger could be San Satiro, who has been running well in defeat in better chase events at this track and will appreciate being dropped in class for his hurdling return.
Prediction : 1st Doctor Look Here 2nd San Satiro 3rd Glanvilles Guest

Young jockey Luca Morgan was amongst the winners last week and could add another success with BERMEO. Johnny Farrelly's gelding followed up a Fontwell win with a solid third over hurdles here last time and he can defy top weight in this. Moreece got within three-parts of a length of victory at Worcester last time and has definite claims off just 2lb higher, while Ann Maries Reject finished ahead of The Overflow (fourth) when third here 30 days ago and could confirm that form.
Prediction : 1st Bermeo 2nd Moreece 3rd Ann Maries Reject

EVITA DU MESNIL hasn't quite hit top form since shipping over from France, but the triple bumper winner was much improved when third in a maiden hurdle at Worcester last time and could go well on her handicap bow off 99. Line Of Beauty and Pola Chance are unexposed under Rules and also switch to handicap company for the first time. They could both prove better than their opening ratings, while Binn Boru was not beaten too far when third of four at Ffos Las in July and a 7lb drop for that looks generous.
Prediction : 1st Evita Du Mesnil 2nd Line Of Beauty 3rd Binn Boru
