UK Horse Racing Tips: Huntingdon

Maria Magdalena has been in red-hot form of late and backed up a brace of victories over timber with a win on the Flat at Lingfield 18 days ago. She is sure to be popular looking to extend her winning run, but a chance is taken on PREFONTAINE, who was last seen finishing third behind the St Leger runner-up Sir Ron Priestly on the level at Haydock, and is of real interest now going hurdling for Jonjo O'Neill. Plumpton winner Limelighter and Goelette, who makes her first start for Stuart Edmunds, are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Prefontaine 2nd Maria Magdalena 3rd Goelette

The experienced Elkstone shaped nicely enough on his first outing since July at Uttoxeter last month to suggest he could figure off a 1lb lower mark, while Land League has picked up a silver medal the last twice and could prove popular on his first outing following wind surgery. Tabitha Worsley keeps the ride aboard impressive 12-length Market Rasen winner Anti Cool, but it is interesting that Richard Johnson has been booked for TEETON POWER. The five-time point-to-point winner attempts to get off the mark over the larger obstacles under Rules tried in first-time blinkers and makes plenty of appeal.
Prediction : 1st Teeton Power 2nd Land League 3rd Anti Cool

GOLDEN TAIPAN struggled over 2m4f last time, but the return to 2m could see Fergal O'Brien's five-year-old get back to the form which he produced in two outings at Warwick in May. Useful Flat handicapper Get Back Get Back is interesting on his first outing for Harry Fry making the switch to jumping, while Carry On has shaped nicely enough in his outings over timber so far and the Bangor winner could get involved.
Prediction : 1st Golden Taipan 2nd Get Back Get Back 3rd Carry On

PHOENIX ROCK returned a six-length winner over 2m7f at Worcester to advertise her well-being and although the handicapper has handed her a 10lb rise, she still rates the one to beat in her current mood. Brigadier Bob is entitled to build on his chase debut second here in May and can fight it out with recent Worcester scorer Damut I'm Out and Invincible Don, who steps up in trip, for the silver medal.
Prediction : 1st Phoenix Rock 2nd Brigadier Bob 3rd Damut Im Out

OLDABBEY BRIDGE failed to fully see his race out over the extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter last time but he struck over 2m4f at the same venue in July and could appreciate this drop in trip. Plenty Of Butty has place claims if stepping up on his Southwell fourth last month and can fight it out for the minor money with Tel'art, a bumper winner who remains open to improvement over hurdles on his second start in a handicap.
Prediction : 1st Oldabbey Bridge 2nd Telart 3rd Plenty Of Butty

Akkapenko got off the mark over hurdles at the 12th time of asking four weeks ago and shouldn't be far away, while Jonjoela outran odds of 66-1 to finish third at Uttoxeter last month and should appreciate this drop in trip at a sharper track. Preference, though, is for BARLEY HILL, who showed up nicely for a long way at Worcester 22 days ago. This is his second run since a wind operation and Nico de Boinville returns to the saddle today.
Prediction : 1st Barley Hill 2nd Akkapenko 3rd Jonjoela

JEN'S BOY wasn't at his best when failing to land the hat-trick, finishing fourth at Worcester on his most recent start, but the extra couple of furlongs on this occasion could yield further improvement from Nicky Henderson's gelding as he had progressed nicely prior to that effort. Beautiful People won by 11 lengths at Fontwell when last seen at the end of August and she can be competitive despite a 10lb rise from the handicapper. Others to note include Lord Ballim, who was unfortunate to slip at Perth last month, and handicap debutant Dorado Dollar.
Prediction : 1st Jens Boy 2nd Beautiful People 3rd Lord Ballim

Shark Hanlon saddles two interesting runners in Worldly Approach, who boasts an interesting jockey booking in Harry Cobden, and CASTLEBAY. Preference goes to the latter as he is a half-brother to Lexington Times, a Listed winner on the Flat, and House Island, a Listed bumper winner, which makes him of considerable appeal. Boro Babe has the services of Richard Johnson for a stable who enjoyed success in this contest in 2016, while others to note include Maskada and Wait For The Lord.
Prediction : 1st Castlebay 2nd Boro Babe 3rd Worldly Approach
