UK Horse Racing Tips: Fakenham

Point-to-point winner DOC MCCOY showed a solid level of form in bumpers last season and Jamie Snowden's gelding appears to have every chance of making a winning start over timber. Kilbarry Hill was narrowly denied between the flags at Dromahane in April and might be the chief threat, while Grangeclare North and Mighty Duchess look set to fight out third place.
Prediction : 1st Doc McCoy 2nd Kilbarry Hill 3rd Grangeclare North

WESTERN SOLDIER was Group 3-placed on the Flat in Germany and he made a promising start to life over hurdles when a close-up third at Sedgefield nine days ago. Any progression can see the five-year-old open his account in this sphere, possibly at the main expense of Wise Guy. Jack The Savage sets the standard with an official rating of 103 and he might fare better having undergone wind surgery last month.
Prediction : 1st Western Soldier 2nd Wise Guy 3rd Jack The Savage

GONE IN SIXTY took another step forward when a narrow second at Fontwell a fortnight ago and the son of Sixties Icon would not need much more improvement to get on the scoresheet here. Theonlywayiswessex switches to chasing having posted a couple of respectable efforts over hurdles recently. He's considered along with Heros De Moutiers, while Berliet Express has the ability to feature.
Prediction : 1st Gone In Sixty 2nd Theonlywayiswessex 3rd Heros De Moutiers

AWESOME FOURSOME landed a breakthrough success on heavy ground at Perth last month. The six-year-old is hard to oppose off only 7lb higher in the ratings, with his amateur jockey negating the rise with his allowance. My Gift To You has been in fine fettle since joining the James Owen yard and should give another good account of himself, while any market support for his stablemate King Otis would be interesting with Brian Hughes booked.
Prediction : 1st Awesome Foursome 2nd My Gift To You 3rd King Otis

ARIZONA CARDINAL has unlocked some improvement since being switched back to 3m in April and the son of Kayf Tara could take some stopping off only 4lb higher than his Uttoxeter triumph the following month. The hat-trick seeking Yccs Portocervo has proved a different proposition since his seasonal debut in May and cannot be ruled out on his return from a 134-day break. Tweed Skirt and Brief Times could also play a part in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Arizona Cardinal 2nd Yccs Portocervo 3rd Tweed Skirt

Bashers Reflection has won a shade cosily on his last two starts and Ben Case's upwardly-mobile gelding must enter calculations off only 5lb higher in his bid to land a hat-trick. However, ENTHUSED still appeared to be ahead of the handicapper when scoring in ready fashion at Huntingdon on Tuesday and makes slightly more appeal, despite having a 7lb penalty to overcome. Chaos Control drops in class and also warrants consideration.
Prediction : 1st Enthused 2nd Bashers Reflection 3rd Chaos Control
