UK Horse Racing Tips: Wetherby

FITZROY has been found an excellent opportunity on just his second start over hurdles, and he can build on a good Wincanton display behind the smart Ecco last month. Bringing good bumper form to the table and open to any amount of improvement, Olly Murphy's charge should have the beating of Rare Clouds, who is entitled to have come on for his Carlisle sixth, and Oscar Robertson.
Prediction : 1st Fitzroy 2nd Rare Clouds 3rd Oscar Robertson

GOOD BOY BOBBY saw the form of his Carlisle second on chase debut take a boost on Thursday when the winner followed up at Taunton at the expense of a Grade 2-winning hurdler. Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge won three of his four starts in bumpers and over timber, and the course scorer can get off the mark over the larger obstacles. The unexposed quantity Albert's Back and Garrettstown can put up most resistance.
Prediction : 1st Good Boy Bobby 2nd Alberts Back 3rd Garrettstown

SAKHEE'S CITY will go on the ground and makes plenty of appeal on the back of his improved course performance earlier in the month. He's up 2lb for that runner-up effort but represents last year's winning stable and ticks plenty of boxes with that first run of the season under his belt. One For Harry's last win came on heavy ground and he's a C&D winner, so is noted along with last-start Hexham scorer Ryedale Racer.
Prediction : 1st Sakhees City 2nd One For Harry 3rd Ryedale Racer

MR ANTOLINI ran on well behind a smart horse at Stratford on his debut over fences last month and could take a step forward in this sphere for Nigel Twiston-Davies. Rated 139, the nine-year-old should appreciate this drop in distance and could prove too hot for Ardera Cross, who won a handicap in this sphere at Ayr two weeks ago. The Dubai Way is a smart handicapper and makes just his second start for Charlie Mann.
Prediction : 1st Mr Antolini 2nd Ardera Cross 3rd The Dubai Way

MIAH GRACE bolted up on her hurdles debut at Hexham last month and, based on that form, the daughter of Malinas has to be given the utmost respect. Big Bad Bear caught the eye when staying on well late at Aintree last time out and he should not be underestimated. Everything For You is currently rated 95 on the Flat and he will be a player if transferring that form to hurdles.
Prediction : 1st Miah Grace 2nd Big Bad Bear 3rd Everything For You

The recent Flat winner CORNERSTONE LAD was successful when last seen over hurdles at Newcastle in April and a 3lb rise for that win appears to be very fair. Dali Mail hit the crossbar on his handicap debut in March and the lightly-raced six-year-old has to be respected, while Aristo Du Plessis and Theatre Legend are others who merit consideration in an open race.
Prediction : 1st Cornerstone Lad 2nd Dali Mail 3rd Aristo Du Plessis

FINGERONTHESWITCH has won two of his three previous starts over this course and distance and his recent placed effort at Cheltenham suggests that he can add another victory to his record. Silver Tassie could prove to be the main danger based on his encouraging effort here two weeks ago, while Ard Chros edges out Bigirononhiship to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Fingerontheswitch 2nd Silver Tassie 3rd Ard Chros
