UK Horse Racing Tips: Hereford

TOP UP THE FASHION shaped with plenty of promise in a couple of novice hurdles last season, particularly when chasing home subsequent winner Bbold at Warwick last time, and he is fancied to play a leading role on his handicap debut. No Getaway was beaten a neck on his latest outing at Warwick in March and he should remain competitive off a 6lb higher mark, while Mix Of Clover and Twycross Warrior are other names to note.
Prediction : 1st Top Up The Fashion 2nd No Getaway 3rd Mix Of Clover

JURYS OUT ended last season with three promising efforts over timber and, expected to improve for this switch to fences, he could strike for an in-form Venetia Williams stable. Paddys Runner posted solid win and placed efforts at Fontwell in June and warrants plenty of respect on his seasonal/chasing debut, while Nearly Perfect also makes the switch to the larger obstacles and cannot be ruled out.
Prediction : 1st Jurys Out 2nd Paddys Runner 3rd Nearly Perfect

AKARITA LIGHTS has done little wrong in five starts thus far (winning a bumper and a maiden hurdle) and appears to hold leading claims on his stable debut for Ian Williams. War Lord was successful on his seasonal/hurdling bow at Plumpton last month and there should be plenty more to come from him, as there could with Red Nika, who only found one too good in an extended 2m3f novice event here four weeks ago.
Prediction : 1st Akarita Lights 2nd War Lord 3rd Red Nika

No Comment posted a cracking effort when fifth in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham in March but is entitled to need this run over a trip that is seemingly a little short, while Whoshotwho may improve for his reappearance at Market Rasen last month and is expected to perform much better this time. PRESENT RANGER was pulled up in a better event at Cheltenham 18 days ago, but he previously won three on the trot and should be more at home dropped in trip at this less-demanding track.
Prediction : 1st Present Ranger 2nd No Comment 3rd Whoshotwho

Brigadier Bob wasn't at his best at Uttoxeter when pulled up last month and might be sparked back into life by first-time blinkers, while Mr Palmtree looked to need his seasonal reappearance at Ludlow 19 days ago and is fancied to do much better this time under talented conditional Tabitha Worsley. That being said, it might take a good one to account for Wincanton second THIS BREAC. He was much improved at the Somerset venue 34 days ago and could defy a 2lb rise.
Prediction : 1st This Breac 2nd Brigadier Bob 3rd Mr Palmtree

HEN didn't exactly look well handicapped prior to striking on her final start for Jamie Osborne at Uttoxeter last month, but she proved that thought process to be all wrong and might have more to offer now with Warren Greatrex. The three-year-old has an 8lb rise to contend with but should appreciate this big field and cut in the ground. Cougar Kid is on a decent mark and impressed when second here over further four weeks ago, while the hat-trick seeking Magen's Moon is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Hen 2nd Cougar Kid 3rd Magens Moon
