UK Horse Racing Tips: Wetherby

This can go the way of POUGNE AMINTA, who ran a cracker on her hurdles debut at Southwell and should be open to plenty more improvement on just her third start under Rules. Bridget Breeze ran a promising race when third at Ayr and she is likely to be thereabouts, along with Ol'river Shine, who was behind a couple of subsequent winners at Plumpton on her hurdles bow.
Prediction : 1st Pougne Aminta 2nd Bridget Breeze 3rd Olriver Shine

A taking winner on his chase debut at Market Rasen earlier in the month, there should be plenty more improvement forthcoming from SOMEWHAT CLOUDY as she looks to follow up off a 5lb higher mark. Donald McCain's mare may not be inconvenienced by the drop in trip and gets the vote ahead of Beat The Edge, who can bounce back from his latest effort, and Getaway Jewel, who has dropped down 1lb below his last winning mark.
Prediction : 1st Somewhat Cloudy 2nd Beat The Edge 3rd Getaway Jewel

CRUZ CONTROL may have not run up to scratch when last seen in Grade 2 company at Cheltenham in January, but this represents a steep drop in grade as the six-year-old looks to bounce back to the form that saw him win easily at Newcastle on his hurdles debut. Thistlebuffs may have been beaten a long way at Kelso, but the form of that race has worked out well and must enter calculations alongside newcomer Nab Wood.
Prediction : 1st Cruz Control 2nd Thistlebuffs 3rd Nab Wood

Dancewiththewind is interesting dropping back in distance with Ryan Mania returning to the saddle, but Pyramid Place is higher on the shortlist having had both Celestial Horizon (sixth) and Front View (last) in behind him when he was a good third on his penulitmate start here. However, preference is for the class-dropping HARDY DU SEUIL, who is likely to find this is much more to his liking, after struggling in Sandown's Imperial Cup last time out, and first-time cheekpieces further aid his claims.
Prediction : 1st Hardy Du Seuil 2nd Pyramid Place 3rd Dancewiththewind

East Street (fourth) wasn't quite at his best here last month and it would come as no surprise to see him bounce back to give FEIVEL (winner) more of a test today. However, the latter showed a touch of quality under pressure before eventually asserting to emerge as a comfortable winner on the day. The eight-year-old wasn't disgraced when second in a higher grade at Sandown and he is taken to resume winning ways. Shetland Bus and Lounge Lizard complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Feivel 2nd East Street 3rd Shetland Bus

ROSTELLO impressed despite jumping to the left when getting back to winning ways at Southwell last week and he is taken to follow up turned out quickly under a 7lb penalty. No Regrets is unexposed at the trip and rates as a possible improver in first-time cheekpieces, while Where's Hector also has the potential to step forward now faced with a sterner test of stamina. Ballynagran has won over C&D in the past and is another that could enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st Rostello 2nd No Regrets 3rd Wheres Hector

AMARBELLE'S DREAM will need to put her Warwick disappointment behind her, but Fergal O'Brien's filly would hold leading claims judged on her debut second here in December and a first-time tongue tie may help the four-year-old get back on track. Storm Spirit was only just denied when promoted to second on her racecourse bow at Newcastle last month and is feared most, while any market support for unraced duo Perfect Poli and Miss Goldfire should be heeded.
Prediction : 1st Amarbelles Dream 2nd Storm Spirit 3rd Perfect Poli
