UK Horse Racing Tips: Fakenham

Falco Blitz found just one too good on three separate occasions last season for Nicky Henderson and needs to show more in the finish, while Timeforaspin boasts some smart form in bumper company and is worth noting after leaving Brian Eckley to join Olly Murphy. Charlie Hills doesn't run many in this sphere, but his HIGH CHANGE was an impressive bumper winner at Ffos Las in June. The four-year-old is out of a sister to two Group 1 juvenile winners and clearly has the engine if his jumping holds up.
Prediction : 1st High Change 2nd Falco Blitz 3rd Timeforaspin

Perfect Myth wasn't disgraced on stable debut for Neil King at Stratford 11 days ago and could take a step forward from that first outing since March, while Affluence was disappointing when last seen over hurdles but bounced back with a promising effort on the Flat earlier this month. Collodi was running a decent race when parting company with his rider at Market Rasen in July, but this can go the way of BRAMBLEDOWN. A runner-up at Ludlow and Plumpton recently, he deserves to go one better.
Prediction : 1st Brambledown 2nd Collodi 3rd Perfect Myth

MIDNIGHTS' GIFT is rated 78 on the Flat and has shown enough to suggest that she could have a future over hurdles for an excellent dual-purpose trainer. Alan King's filly finished only eight lengths behind the classy Faylaq at Kempton five weeks ago, and clearly has the engine for this discipline now trying 2m for the first time. Local Affair wears a first-time hood after a pair of promising hurdling efforts, while Break The Rules and Juals Spirit are also worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Midnights Gift 2nd Local Affair 3rd Break The Rules

NUBE NEGRA travelled powerfully to make his debut over fences a winning one at Warwick four weeks ago and Dan Skelton's charge could take some stopping under a penalty. The five-year-old handles varying ground conditions, and can put that prior experience over the larger obstacles to good use. Encore Champs has long shaped like a chaser in the making and might give the selection most to ponder, with Betfair Hurdle fifth Ar Mest also respected.
Prediction : 1st Nube Negra 2nd Encore Champs 3rd Ar Mest

THE DARLEY LAMA built on some promising bumper efforts on his two hurdle outings to date, finishing third at both Sedgefield and Ludlow, and Charlie Mann's gelding appears capable of taking a step forward on his handicap bow. The Detainee ran with credit when third at Exeter earlier in the month and is respected, along with Nathans Pride, who has been given a chance by the handicapper.
Prediction : 1st The Darley Lama 2nd The Detainee 3rd Nathans Pride

DOUBLE COURT ran well in defeat when attempting to complete the four-timer at Perth and Nigel Twiston-Davies' gelding could have more to offer stepping back up in distance. Between The Waters must enter the reckoning on the form of his second at Stratford 23 days ago, along with the consistent Twasn't The Plan, who has hit the frame on his last four outings.
Prediction : 1st Double Court 2nd Between The Waters 3rd Twasnt The Plan

Brian Ellison's string are in excellent form at present and his LARGY MOUTH gets the vote on his first start for the North Yorkshire handler. The son of Court Cave ran a race full of promise on his debut when second at Ayr and he could put that experience to good use against some well-bred newcomers. Hijack, a half-brother to Village Vic, and Ever So Cool, a sister to the ill-fated Shantou Rock, both represent leading stables and warrant plenty of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Largy Mouth 2nd Hijack 3rd Ever So Cool
