UK Horse Racing Tips: Wincanton

NIFTY AT FIFTY can run off the same mark as when beaten by just a length at Southwell nine days ago and, 3lb well-in, he is going to win a race of this nature sooner rather than later. Kauto The King represents powerful connections and wouldn't be a surprise winner, likewise Favori De Sivola who goes handicapping for the first time. I'm Wiser Now should also be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Nifty At Fifty 2nd Kauto The King 3rd Favori De Sivola

CILL ANNA has contested warm bumpers in two starts under Rules at Aintree and Cheltenham and, now going hurdling for the first time, she's expected to know her job given her connections. The point-to-point winner is expected to prove too strong for the likes of Kissesforkatie, who brings a rating of 123 to the table, and Outonpatrol, a good second at Plumpton and fellow winner between the flags.
Prediction : 1st Cill Anna 2nd Kissesforkatie 3rd Outonpatrol

EL PRESENTE wasn't beaten far when fourth to Deyrann De Carjac (winner) and Pym (second) at Huntingdon, and with both of those rivals franking the form of late, Kim Bailey's six-year-old could thrive now upped in trip off a lenient mark of 124. Marble Moon's hat-trick bid may have ended in disappointment last time, but he can't be ruled out, while Copperhead won two on the spin over timber at the turn of the year and is sure to have benefitted from his Chepstow reappearance in October. Fingerontheswitch is only 2lb higher than when going down by a short head at Wetherby, with the hat-trick seeking Findusatgorcombe also noted.
Prediction : 1st El Presente 2nd Findusatgorcombe 3rd Copperhead

FLASHING GLANCE scored off this mark at Kempton 10 days ago and Tom Lacey's six-year-old can strike again escaping a penalty for that victory. Humble Hero and King D'Argent both got stuck in the mud last time, but the Dan Skelton pair are dangerously placed if bouncing back to their best on better ground, while Scaramanga disappointed at a time when Paul Nicholls' runners were in need of their first outings of the season.
Prediction : 1st Flashing Glance 2nd Scaramanga 3rd Humble Hero

LOVE THE LEADER can be forgiven his recent run over timber with his form over the larger obstacles prior to that appearing very consistent. He was a course winner in October and a repeat of either of his subsequent efforts at Fontwell would also likely be good enough here. Phoenix Rock scored at Worcester two starts ago and is likely to provide the biggest threat, while last year's heroine Lizzie Langton completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Love The Leader 2nd Phoenix Rock 3rd Lizzie Langton

A break and a wind operation appeared to make the difference for DUC KAUTO when striking at this venue 49 days ago and Colin Tizzard has found his charge another suitable opening as he bids to shake off an 8lb rise. Acaro, who has finished third in competitive events the last twice, can fight it out for the silver medal with Kilbrew Boy, who should like this ground and appears on a workable mark.
Prediction : 1st Duc Kauto 2nd Acaro 3rd Kilbrew Boy

AUDACITY caught the eye when third on debut at Huntingdon last month and could put that experience to good use now stepping up slightly in trip on ground expected to suit. Paul Nicholls is 9-30 in bumpers here in the last five years so his Duc De Bourbon warrants obvious respect, while Grand Roi showed potential in France and shouldn't be far away for Nicky Henderson.
Prediction : 1st Audacity 2nd Duc De Bourbon 3rd Grand Roi
