UK Horse Racing Tips: Fakenham

Just the three runners could mean a tactical affair but if GETTHEPOT jumps as well as he did at Huntingdon earlier in the month, he may be able to make all. Who Is That was only beaten a neck at Plumpton and gets plenty of weight from his two rivals, making him a major player if he gets the three miles. Dan's Chosen has yet to win over fences after two attempts, but hasn't been beaten far and may have improvement to come.
Prediction : 1st Getthepot 2nd Who Is That 3rd Dans Chosen

Gallopade won both of his bumpers last season, with success here in November and a neck win at Taunton in February, and he looks interesting on his hurdling bow. He could go well but preference is for MILLDAM, with the Jamie Snowden stable in great form. Third on all three starts in France, he was thrown in at the deep end for his UK debut, coming home 13th in the Boodles at the Cheltenham Festival, and ought to find this easier. The Gary Moore pair of Iskar D'airy and Issar D'Airy are also interesting and could get involved.
Prediction : 1st Milldam 2nd Gallopade 3rd Iskar Dairy

Never No Trouble travels down from the Donald McCain yard and she wasn't beaten far when third in a Warwick handicap earlier this month. That form gives her every chance but preference is for TOUTE CHIC, a winner of her last two starts at Vichy and Salon-de-Provence on the Flat and now with Jonjo O'Neill for her NH career. She may make a winning start over hurdles, though if Exciting News settles better than she did when fourth at Huntingdon then she could also have a big say.
Prediction : 1st Toute Chic 2nd Never No Trouble 3rd Exciting News

A small field and none of these can be ruled out with any great confidence. Slight preference is for the most unexposed mare in the line-up, MY SILVER LINING. Emma Lavelle's grey showed plenty of ability over hurdles last season and this longer trip and switch to fences is likely to suit her having finished second in an Irish point-to-point last October. Dazzling Glory has run to a decent level over fences so far and she'll almost certainly prove to be the main danger, but Fairfield Ferrata is another to take very seriously.
Prediction : 1st My Silver Lining 2nd Dazzling Glory 3rd Fairfield Ferrata

CLUAIN AODHA went agonisingly close on her first start in a handicap at Warwick last time and she should prove very difficult to beat raised just 2lb for that effort. The penny seems to have dropped for Call Blue lately so she's entitled to plenty of respect for the Nigel Twiston-Davies yard, while Sawpit Sienna could take a step forward from her recent reappearance and is 2lb lower now.
Prediction : 1st Cluain Aodha 2nd Call Blue 3rd Sawpit Sienna

A few interesting types here, but AL ZARAQAAN followed up his win at Newton Abbot in August with another comfortable victory at Bro Park in Sweden last month and he's difficult to oppose. Saligo Bay ran a blinder when third on the Flat at Windsor last time and that should have put him spot on for this, while Rafiki was disappointing last time at Worcester but he's too well handicapped to ignore based on his Flat exploits.
Prediction : 1st Al Zaraqaan 2nd Saligo Bay 3rd Rafiki
