UK Horse Racing Tips: Huntingdon

CATUABA had Jack The Farmer (second) half a length behind when scoring at Warwick earlier in the month and that was his first start in a handicap, so he could have much more to come off 5lb higher. The son of Jet Away appears to have lots in his favour once more and he looks the one to side with. Whenitrainsitpours failed to justify favouritism last time at Ludlow, but he is 2lb lower now and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back.
Prediction : 1st Catuaba 2nd Jack The Farmer 3rd Whenitrainsitpours

ALGHAZAAL did it nicely at Ludlow in this grade when scoring by eight lengths last time and he has been put up 9lb for that display. Charlie Longsdon's six-year-old only makes his third chase start and with the likelihood of more to come in this sphere, he could be the one to beat. Another to consider is Boreen Boy, who makes his chase debut and that could unlock improvement with Adrian Heskin booked, while Chess Player is also worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Alghazaal 2nd Boreen Boy 3rd Chess Player

Iolaos Du Mou is likely to be fancied for his powerful connections, but he will need to put his latest pulled-up effort at Kempton well behind him to figure. Preference is for ABSOLUTE RULER, who was beaten just over three lengths behind Carrarea (now rated 122) and that form sets a very decent standard for others to aim at in this contest. Definite is another to note, as he took a step forward to run into a place at Plumpton on his latest outing.
Prediction : 1st Absolute Ruler 2nd Iolaos Du Mou 3rd Definite

Although still a maiden, LOUGH CARRA has snippets of solid form that suggest he can provide a bit of value in what it likely to be a tactical race. He has dropped to a workable mark and, assuming he takes to racing with a cheekpieces and tongue-tie combination applied for the first time, he looks worth chancing. Much depends on whether Hardy Boy is turned out again quickly after his second at Ffos Las on Saturday, but Toughasoldboots would rate the main danger in his absence.
Prediction : 1st Lough Carra 2nd Toughasoldboots 3rd Hardy Boy

KINGFAST is hard to oppose as he bids for a third consecutive success and, given he still has scope to progress further in this discipline, a 9lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent him extending his winning sequence. Jack Hogan, who claims 5lb, being back in the saddle helps on that score. Alkhattaaf has a similar profile and rates a big threat given he showed improvement when second in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton last month, before scoring on the Flat at Wolverhampton. For Three and Ambassador are also worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Kingfast 2nd Alkhattaaf 3rd For Three

Miss Antipova gave a bold account when runner-up at Southwell a fortnight ago and the 11-year-old may prove dangerous once again if getting into a rhythm on the front end. Heneryetta Bay has placed on both starts over fences and could be open to improvement, but EIGHTYTWO TEAM shades the vote. She was making a solid return to action after a break at Uttoxeter when jinking left at a running rail due to bypassing obstacles and is entitled to progress from that display.
Prediction : 1st Eightytwo Team 2nd Miss Antipova 3rd Heneryetta Bay

HIGHLAND FROLIC wasn't disgraced on his return to handicap company when third at Ludlow earlier in the month and the manner in which he finished his race off suggested a step up in trip would pose no concerns. Red Force One took a step in the right direction with cheekpieces reapplied here on Tuesday and he can enter calculations, along with Awesome Foursome, who didn't appear to get home over further at Uttoxeter last time.
Prediction : 1st Highland Frolic 2nd Red Force One 3rd Awesome Foursome
