UK Horse Racing Tips: Wetherby

BUTCH shed the maiden tag at the fourth time of asking last month and it would be no surprise were the son of Kayf Tara to kick on now. Hurlerontheditch finished a creditable third at Haydock 15 days ago and he remains capable of better eased 1lb in the handicap, while market support must be noted for Finnthemagician, who makes his stable debut for the Nicky Richards team.
Prediction : 1st Butch 2nd Hurlerontheditch 3rd Finnthemagician

Resplendent Grey wasn't disgraced at Huntingdon last month, having won on his debut at Market Rasen in December, and Olly Murphy's gelding appeals as the type to progress now switched from bumpers to hurdles. However, preference is for the Stuart Crawford-trained debutant JOKER DU CHENET. The son of Doctor Dino is related to some smart types and he ought to posses the ability to land a race of this nature. Stablemate Sunshine Girl heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Joker Du Chenet 2nd Resplendent Grey 3rd Sunshine Girl

NO REMATCH has been disappointing since landing a claimer at Leicester in February, but he's favoured at the weights this time around and could get back to winning ways down in grade. First-time cheekpieces could see On The Wild Side improve on recent efforts, while Captain Jack, who hit the crossbar in a similar event five days ago, is another to be interested in.
Prediction : 1st No Rematch 2nd On The Wild Side 3rd Captain Jack

GREENROCK ABBEY may have disappointed at Stratford last time but he had been in excellent form before that and his record since beginning over fences speaks for itself. The seven-year-old can bounce back to winning ways, with the capable Oscars Leader and last month's Southwell winner Onesoc looking best placed to chase him home. First Revolution and Sao are entitled to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Greenrock Abbey 2nd Onesoc 3rd Oscars Leader

A taking winner at Ayr last time, JOANNA I'M FINE must hold every chance of following up off a 5lb higher mark with conditions in her favour. Similar comments apply to recent C&D winner Fiadh, who should be able to uphold form with Rumble B (second) despite being 5lb worse off at the weights. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Baby Jane, Braganza Bay and Storm Force One.
Prediction : 1st Joanna Im Fine 2nd Fiadh 3rd Braganza Bay

This can go the way of GENTLEMAN DE MAI, who ran a cracker on his chase debut at Ayr in February, a race which has produced no fewer than four winners since. Rose Dobbin's charge is taken to go one place better on this occasion and can strike at the main expense of the in-form C&D winner Tango Boy, and Hotel Du Nord, who did it well at Wincanton last time out.
Prediction : 1st Gentleman De Mai 2nd Tango Boy 3rd Hotel Du Nord

IL VA DE SOI made both a pleasing stable/Rules debut for Harry Derham when only beaten a head at Kempton in February, and there is likely more to come from the gelded son of Gris De Gris. Booster Bob must hold every chance of securing a double, despite having to shoulder a 7lb penalty for his success over this trip at Ayr on debut, and he is feared most ahead of Support Act.
Prediction : 1st Il Va De Soi 2nd Booster Bob 3rd Support Act

A fairly open second division of the bumper in which marginal preference is for the Dan Skelton-trained COCO MADEMOISELLE. She bolted up in a point-to-point in Ireland earlier this year, when trained by Denis Paul Murphy, and is fancied to follow up on her Rules debut for a yard which has enjoyed plenty of success at this track over the years. Light Sentence and Got Your Back add further spice to the race.
Prediction : 1st Coco Mademoiselle 2nd Light Sentence 3rd Got Your Back
