UK Horse Racing Tips: Wexford

Front View is an exciting recruit to hurdles after landing a competitive Punchestown bumper during the spring, while Cayd Boy makes some appeal in the same colours after landing a Limerick bumper on heavy ground in March. Recent form in this discipline is always a bonus, however, and it is ARTHUR FONZARELLI who could put that experience to good use. Second at Roscommon last month, the four-year-old will have learnt plenty from that and is likely to be handed a positive ride.
Prediction : 1st Arthur Fonzarelli 2nd Front View 3rd Cayd Boy

Anything Will Do just missed out on second when finishing slowly at Galway earlier in the month and could appreciate this switch to a more conventional track, while Shadow Seven, disappointing in a handicap over 2m4f 12 days ago, merits respect switched to novice company and dropping back in distance. BUA BOY created a lasting impression when scoring at Cork in April, showing a professional attitude throughout, and the booking of Davy Russell appears relevant towards his prospects.
Prediction : 1st Bua Boy 2nd Anything Will Do 3rd Shadow Seven

SHUMAKER narrowly landed a gamble at Punchestown 12 days ago and this versatile seven-year-old could take some stopping despite a 7lb rise. A winner on varying ground, he wouldn't look out of place amongst better company than this and can claim a third victory on the bounce. Crazyheart has some form on soft/heavy surfaces and might give the selection most to ponder, ahead of Dandjira, whose most recent effort at Galway can be forgiven.
Prediction : 1st Shumaker 2nd Crazyheart 3rd Dandjira

PUNITIVE caught the eye when fifth on his hurdling bow at Punchestown 12 days ago and should appreciate this step up in distance for Henry De Bromhead. The Gigginstown House Stud-owned gelding took a big step forward from his bumper form there and is expected to have more to offer with Rachael Blackmore taking over the reigns. Game Present failed to land a Kilbeggan gamble last month and now wears first-time cheekpieces, while Likable Chancer emerged with credit when fifth of 20 in a handicap at Gowran Park recently.
Prediction : 1st Punitive 2nd Game Present 3rd Likable Chancer

KUPATANA hasn't always been the easiest to ride, having failed to complete on three occasions last season, but she got her career back on track with two impressive displays at Kelso and Cheltenham during the spring. She was bought for 210,000 pounds as part of her former owners' dispersal sale in May and could have further improvement to come now with Henry De Bromhead. Discorama enjoyed a fine debut season over fences, placing in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham and a Grade 1 at Punchestown, and is entitled to take another step forward, while recent Fairyhouse winner Champagne Classic also warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Kupatana 2nd Discorama 3rd Champagne Classic

ECLAIR DE BEAUFEU shaped with promise on his chasing debut at Punchestown when finishing second earlier in the month and Gordon Elliott's gelding is entitled to improve for that performance. Raya Time took a step forward on last season's form when scoring in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel 25 days ago and he represents a stable that do well with their chasers, while At The Acorn must enter calculations on what he has shown in two hurdle outings.
Prediction : 1st Eclair De Beaufeu 2nd Raya Time 3rd At The Acorn

AXIOMATIC ran in a couple of decent bumpers last season, performing honourably on both occasions, and Gordon Elliott's charge might well have benefited from a summer break. Fortune Street is likely to take a step forward from his return at Cork eight days ago with that first outing in 12 months behind him, while Battling Warrior can improve from his first start at Punchestown.
Prediction : 1st Axiomatic 2nd Fortune Street 3rd Battling Warrior
