UK Horse Racing Tips: Hereford

LILY GLITTERS pulled clear with her conqueror at Bangor six days ago and compensation could await for last year's scorer. Pottlerath might give her most to think about after winning nicely at this venue earlier in the month, and a 5lb rise is unlikely to prevent the Matt Sheppard inmate from being competitive. Manintheshadows signed off his last campaign with a Wetherby triumph and makes most appeal of the remainder if ready to roll.
Prediction : 1st Lily Glitters 2nd Pottlerath 3rd Manintheshadows

King Alexander created a good impression when winning on his bumper debut at Warwick in late September and there could be more to come from Nicky Henderson's charge now tackling obstacles. However, MARBLE SANDS has hurdling experience on his side and was a cracking second in the EBF Final at Sandown, so the six-year-old may be too streetwise. Rockinastorm failed to land a second NH Flat race with a penalty, but he is still an interesting recruit to this discipline.
Prediction : 1st Marble Sands 2nd King Alexander 3rd Hurricane Vichi

The Feckenham Fox has a 9lb hike to contend with after sauntering home on her fencing bow at Fakenham when last seen just before Christmas, so she may be worth taking on. Dancing Dani should appreciate this course given her inclination to jump out to her right at Ffos Las but FRAU GEORGIA makes most appeal now dropped into a 0-110 contest, and a 3lb rise in the ratings for finishing second at Perth in May shouldn't prevent a bold bid.
Prediction : 1st Frau Georgia 2nd Dancing Dani 3rd The Feckenham Fox

A few with chances here, but ALIOMAANA looked ahead of her mark when winning at Stratford and a 4lb rise is unlikely to prevent Milton Harris' filly from going very close again. Addosh fell at the last when seemingly beaten at Uttoxeter but if she's none the worse for that tumble, she could bounce back. Princess T arrives in fine fettle so she is another to consider in what looks an open contest.
Prediction : 1st Aliomaana 2nd Addosh 3rd Princess T

Midnight Jewel was right in contention when coming down at the last at Stratford so if he puts in a clear round, he's likely to be on the premises. Preference is still for the top-weight MACKELDUFF, who makes his chasing debut after showing plenty of ability over hurdles and looks the type to do even better in this sphere. Highstakesplayer is another who has his first start over the larger obstacles and if he can continue the progression he displayed over timber, he will be a big player.
Prediction : 1st Mackelduff 2nd Highstakesplayer 3rd Midnight Jewel

KINGSTON SUNFLOWER is in the form of her life at present and has won by an aggregate of 41 lengths at Huntingdon and Ludlow. Fergal O'Brien's mare can round out the hat-trick, although it won't be easy because Stroll On By shaped well on his hurdling bow at Bangor and Sea The Clouds is also on a three-timer and ran out a comfortable winner at Newton Abbot.
Prediction : 1st Kingston Sunflower 2nd Stroll On By 3rd Sea The Clouds

EROS looked to hold every chance when falling two out at Wincanton in March and he can gain compensation here with conditions in his favour once more. Ben Buie has now dropped 6lb below his last winning mark and must enter calculations along with Gaelic Thunder, who made a pleasing comeback at Exeter. Atlantic Storm and Richie Valentine cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Eros 2nd Ben Buie 3rd Gaelic Thunder
