UK Horse Racing Tips: Hereford

FLYING GARRY was worn down late on when second over two miles at Ffos Las last time and there is every chance he builds on that career best under Rules now sent handicapping. Lady Chartreuse returns from a year off the track and won't mind conditions representing Venetia Williams at a venue the handler has a decent record at. Enry Iggins wasn't disgraced over track and trip in a novice contest last month and makes each-way appeal, with Irska also considered in a first-time tongue-tie.
Prediction : 1st Flying Garry 2nd Lady Chartreuse 3rd Enry Iggins

SEYMOUR SOX was a brave second on his handicap bow at Uttoxeter last month and there is every chance he will be thereabouts once again off a 3lb higher mark. He didn't mind the conditions on that occasion, but always faced a tough task, carrying top-weight against a couple of well-handicapped rivals. First Assembly picked up a silver medal off this rating at Fontwell in November and is respected, while handicap debutant Little Ginge has track-and-trip experience to call upon and could get involved at the finish.
Prediction : 1st Seymour Sox 2nd First Assembly 3rd Little Ginge

GIGA WHITE was the best of these on the level and is an interesting hurdles newcomer for Evan Williams having transferred to the handler for 26,000 euros in the autumn. Mick Channon won this last year and saddles Lord Howard, while Gerolamo Cardano shaped nicely to finish fourth in an Aintree bumper in November and is another to consider. Artistic Language hasn't been outclassed in two outings over obstacles so far and is now tried in first-time blinkers.
Prediction : 1st Giga White 2nd Artistic Language 3rd Gerolamo Cardano

LATE SHIPMENT has a fine record here and the three-time course-and-distance winner could go one better than his recent track second off a 2lb higher rating. He was beaten less than a length there and the form of that race looks solid, with the winner following up over the Christmas period. Holly James was looking for back-to-back victories when falling two from home at Chepstow and now joins the handicap ranks, while Kempton winer Fontley House and Chepstow runner-up Waiheke are others who make plenty of appeal.
Prediction : 1st Late Shipment 2nd Holly James 3rd Fontley House

Locker Room Talk made it third-time lucky over fences when winning a Taunton handicap before Christmas, but attempting to successfully give Paul Nicholls' French recruit RED RISK 4lb will be no easy task. He won over the larger obstacles by four lengths on very soft ground at Auteuil in September and looks well treated on these terms. Dame du Soir won over hurdles at Leicester last season and is noted on the back of a pleasing first run over fences at Exeter last month.
Prediction : 1st Red Risk 2nd Locker Room Talk 3rd Dame du Soir

If punters can forgive him one bad run at Ffos Las then ONURBIKE could be worth another chance. The son of Exit To Nowhere had won three on the spin prior to that and has really stepped up since cheekpieces were fitted for the first time at Chepstow last March. Kilcrea Bridge boasts sound claims on his Taunton third behind Great Tempo recently and joins Ector, who improved at Ffos Las latest on his first run post wind surgery, on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Onurbike 2nd Kilcrea Bridge 3rd Ector

GETAWAY TOTHEROCK could hardly have been more impressive when scoring at Ludlow on her second hurdles outing last month and the form has a good look to it as she beat Subway Surf, who boasts really strong bumper form. Eleanor Bob has a double winner's penalty but will be fine on the ground and should make her presence felt. Delight Of Dubai, a point winner last March and successful on this ground at Lingfield in November, is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Getaway Totherock 2nd Eleanor Bob 3rd Delight Of Dubai
