UK Horse Racing Tips: Hereford

Runner-up on her last three starts, including over C&D on her most recent run, CREM FRESH is entitled to go one better off a 3lb raised mark and she should not be taken lightly. She was only denied by a neck over this trip at Lingfield off the same mark on her penultimate start and is expected to go very close, but I Giorni should not be dismissed despite having to shoulder top weight. Hazy Dream completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Crem Fresh 2nd I Giorni 3rd Hazy Dream

In not the strongest of contests, marginal preference is for the Fergal O'Brien-trained CHARLES ST. Although he finished a very distant second over an extended 2m at Market Rasen last month, he was only denied by half a length at Huntingdon on his penultimate run and is fancied to improve here. Just Over Land and Jikala rate his biggest dangers.
Prediction : 1st Charles St 2nd Just Over Land 3rd Jikala

KESTREL VALLEY made a pleasing stable debut for Kerry Lee when securing a facile success over 3m at Ludlow earlier this month, and a 6lb raised mark may not be enough to stop her following up in this. Voice Of Hope is on the same mark as when a creditable second over an extended 2m7f at Huntingdon and is feared most ahead of Paseo and Born At Midnight.
Prediction : 1st Kestrel Valley 2nd Voice Of Hope 3rd Paseo

Connections look to have found a nice opportunity for the in-form CREDO as she returns to hurdles off a 5lb lower mark. A winner of two of her last four starts over the larger obstacles, the eight-year-old should have too much for Martha Brae, who deserves a change in luck having finished runner-up on her last three starts in this sphere. Fine By Her is another that could improve for going up in distance.
Prediction : 1st Credo 2nd Martha Brae 3rd Fine By Her

A comfortable winner of his last two starts here, including over C&D last time out, FAMILY POT must hold every chance of landing the hat-trick off a mark which is still below his career high. That may be at the main expense of Fontwell scorer Arcade Attraction and the consistent Pawpaw, who is winless since April 2021. On The Platform and Supasunrise can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Family Pot 2nd Arcade Attraction 3rd Pawpaw

BERTIE B made an encouraging start to handicaps when finishing third behind a progressive rival at Huntingdon last month, and the five-year-old likely has more to offer in this sphere. Sinister Minister returns on the back of a 169-day absence, nevertheless, his runner-up effort at Worcester in October came after a break and, off only 1lb higher, he's not taken lightly. Mystic Man makes his handicap debut off a low mark and is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Bertie B 2nd Sinister Minister 3rd Mystic Man

There was a lot to like about the way LUMP SUM won on his debut at Bangor in October and Sam Thomas' five-year-old may be good enough to shrug off a 7lb penalty for that success. Heros De Romay was another who made the perfect start to his racing career when displaying a good attitude to win at Exeter in January and he can't be ruled out. Stop Loss is a half-brother to Ballynagour and any market support would be noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Lump Sum 2nd Heros De Romay 3rd Stop Loss
