UK Horse Racing Tips: Fakenham

SECRET TRIX has improved on his last couple of starts, with a C&D victory in November backed up when beaten less than a length into third at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve, and Olly Murphy's gelding appears likely to get his head back in front. Shesupincourt arrives having filled the runner-up spot on her last three outings and she is likely to enter calculations once again, while San Pedro is capable of a decent showing based on her third at Fontwell on Sunday.
Prediction : 1st Secret Trix 2nd Shesupincourt 3rd San Pedro

BEN BUIE has scored on his last two efforts over 2m, having not quite got home over further at Leicester in between those runs in November, and the nine-year-old is expected to continue in a similar vein of form. Mexican Boy is entitled to step forward from his chasing bow when runner-up at Southwell and he is respected, along with Line Of Descent, who has been knocking on the door so far over fences.
Prediction : 1st Ben Buie 2nd Mexican Boy 3rd Line Of Descent

CHIC AVENUE has been a slow burner to date over hurdles over the minimum distance, but she is bred to stay well and the step up in trip promises to yield a fair amount of improvement. Doireann sports first-time cheekpieces and is best judged on her second here in November, while others for the shortlist include Brianna Rose and Brandisova.
Prediction : 1st Chic Avenue 2nd Doireann 3rd Brianna Rose

JARAMILLO must bounce back after a lacklustre performance at Wincanton on Boxing Day, but the five-year-old has looked more at home in small-field races when allowed to dictate the pace and he may well get his own way in front here. Sergeant Wilson ran too free on his handicap debut at Market Rasen on the same day as the selection and can't be underestimated in the first-time hood, with the Nicky Henderson-trained Treyarnon Bay another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Jaramillo 2nd Sergeant Wilson 3rd Treyarnon Bay

BOLSOVER BILL found his winning run coming to an end when finishing runner-up at Catterick recently but, in a race lacking depth, this looks a good opportunity for the Warren Greatrex inmate to regain the winning thread. Camulus finished second on his sole point-to-point run and could have more to offer on this chase bow if putting his latest run at this venue on the hurdles course behind him. Getabuck should enjoy the drop in trip and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Bolsover Bill 2nd Camulus 3rd Getabuck

BASHERS REFLECTION made the perfect start to life in handicaps when winning at Warwick on New Year's Eve, drawing clear with the second to win snugly. The handicapper has had his say with a 9lb rise in the ratings, but the Ben Case inmate looks capable of better and gets the vote. Pachacuti looks the chief threat after showing improved form on the step up in trip to an extended 2m5f when finishing runner-up at Hereford last month, ahead of handicap debutant Uncle Arthur.
Prediction : 1st Bashers Reflection 2nd Pachacuti 3rd Uncle Arthur
