UK Horse Racing Tips: Wincanton

SEARCHING has been in top form this month, winning by 10 lengths at Exeter before stepping up to this trip with aplomb at Hereford to land another victory. He is 10lb higher now, but he doesn't look to have finished improving. She's Gina landed back-to-back success in the summer and is another looking for a three-timer on her reappearance, while there was a lot to like about Demon Fou's C&D victory 10 days ago.
Prediction : 1st Searching 2nd Demon Fou 3rd Shes Gina

SOLDIER OF LOVE was an impressive six-length winner over hurdles when last seen in February and there could be lots more to come on chase debut and first start for Paul Nicholls. The selection's former handler Fergal O'Brien has the consistent performer Templepark, who shaped nicely on his stable debut at Warwick last month. Nativegetaway made a pleasing switch to fences at Fontwell in the summer and the lightly-raced six-year-old is considered.
Prediction : 1st Soldier Of Love 2nd Templepark 3rd Nativegetaway

ZYON caught the eye when beaten less than two lengths in a hot Ascot bumper won by Emitom 12 months ago and Paul Nicholls' five-year-old is of real interest making his hurdles debut in a contest the handler has won four times in the last 10 years. Dolphin Square has hurdling experience on his side and looks a useful operator to keep an eye on, with Toby Lawes' Eye Of An Eagle and point-to-point winner Jeremy Sunshine, who has joined Colin Tizzard, others who could play a part.
Prediction : 1st Zyon 2nd Dolphin Square 3rd Jeremy Sunshine

Paul Nicholls has a strong hand here with Captain Cattistock and Coup De Pinceau, who both ended last season in a positive light and could have more to come in the handicap ranks. White Moon struggled when stepped up to three miles last term, but has been given a chance by the assessor, with One Of Us another potentially well treated, only 5lb higher than when winning at Exeter in April. However, a chance is taken on CONINGSBY, who finished the last campaign with an emphatic 13-length success at Exeter and could relish the extra yardage here.
Prediction : 1st Coningsby 2nd Coup De Pinceau 3rd Captain Cattistock

Sir Psycho is respected with his hurdling debut (fourth at Chepstow) behind him, but it was worrying how quickly he stopped that day and then hung right late on. The application of cheekpieces could well help Paul Nicholls' charge, but PARICOLOR looks a safer option. After a wind operation, he was much improved when runner-up at Wetherby 11 days ago and a race of this nature looks well within his compass. Twenty Years On, a 1m4f Flat winner, also makes some appeal switching codes.
Prediction : 1st Paricolor 2nd Sir Psycho 3rd Twenty Years On

ERITAGE brings some solid bumper form to the table, backing up his third behind subsequent winner Get In The Queue when scoring at this venue, and he could prove difficult to beat with a clear round of jumping on his hurdling debut. Escapability has some smart Flat form under his belt and must enter calculations first time over timber, while it will be interesting to see how Avarchie figures in the betting market. He has switched stables (from John Butler to Dan Skelton) since winning a Worcester bumper 475 days ago.
Prediction : 1st Eritage 2nd Escapability 3rd Avarchie

Back from a six-month break, JEMBUG DRUMMER was hugely impressive when winning his maiden at Bangor 25 days ago and he could follow up off a mark of 118 on his handicap debut. Annsam also makes the switch from maiden to handicap company after a last-start success, which came over C&D, and he warrants plenty of respect, while Now Look At Me won at this venue in his bumper days and is clearly much better than showing last time. Don't be surprised if he bounces back on his handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Jembug Drummer 2nd Annsam 3rd Now Look At Me
