UK Horse Racing Tips: Hereford

SPECIAL PRINCESS has improved leaps and bounds on her two outings for Rebecca Curtis this season, winning both of them at Ffos Las, and the step back up in distance is unlikely to pose any issue. Incertaine benefited from the application of headgear when getting off the mark on her return at Market Rasen and she can enter the reckoning along with Chloe's Court, who has placed twice at Plumpton this campaign.
Prediction : 1st Special Princess 2nd Incertaine 3rd Chloes Court

SUPREMELY LUCKY had his excuses when beaten by his sole rival at Hexham last month, having finished with a small overreach on his right fore, so he is expected to leave that effort behind him based on his Worcester second in October. Encounter A Giant was outrunning his odds when unseating two out at Huntingdon behind a couple of useful rivals and he can be competitive once again, while the drop in grade will suit Aaron Lad after being pulled up at Cheltenham on his chasing bow.
Prediction : 1st Supremely Lucky 2nd Encounter A Giant 3rd Aaron Lad

STEAL A MARCH shaped as though he would benefit from a step up in distance when fourth on his hurdling debut at Newbury last month and the son of Mount Nelson could continue the fine recent run of form for Nicky Henderson. Frisson Collonges ran a lot better when fourth at Ascot last month and is likely to be in the mix in a lesser contest, while point-to-point winners Enchancia and Mcgarry are both worth a market check on their respective debuts under Rules.
Prediction : 1st Steal A March 2nd Frisson Collonges 3rd Enchancia

Saint De Vassy was pulled-up after struggling with a longer trip at Chepstow 12 days ago and should appreciate this emphasis on speed rather than stamina, while Grania O'Malley has performed creditably in recent times but was beaten far enough at Huntingdon despite finishing third four weeks ago. Preference, instead, is for ESPION DE SAFLO, who was in the process of running well in a better race at Plumpton recently. The five-year-old handles testing ground and can take this under a likely positive ride.
Prediction : 1st Espion De Saflo 2nd Grania OMalley 3rd Saint De Vassy

I'm Wiser Now didn't look an easy ride when third at Wincanton earlier this month and needs to be treated with caution, while Wasdell Dundalk took a step forward in his development when fourth at Taunton three weeks ago but shaped there as though he might want further. It might take a good one to account for Dan Skelton's NORTHOFTHEWALL, who was second in a novice race at Bangor-on-Dee when last seen. This is a nice opening and he proved 19 days ago that deep ground isn't an issue.
Prediction : 1st Northofthewall 2nd Im Wiser Now 3rd Wasdell Dundalk

SHININSTAR arrives here on the back of two impressive victories and a 4lb rise in the ratings for the most recent of those wins may not be enough to stop him from taking this contest as well. Recent form suggests that Sutter's Mill is more than capable of making the frame in a race of this nature, while similar comments apply to Beni Light and The Brothers.
Prediction : 1st Shininstar 2nd Sutters Mill 3rd Beni Light

HOLLYMOUNT HOLLY was purchased for 62,000 pounds last month following her impressive victory in an Irish point-to-point and the daughter of Doyen has to be given the utmost respect on her Rules debut. Misstree Song also won between the flags and she displayed plenty of promise at Catterick last time out, while Outlaw Jesse James is another newcomer who merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Hollymount Holly 2nd Misstree Song 3rd Outlaw Jesse James
