UK Horse Racing Tips: Fontwell

Roger Pol merits respect as a dual bumper winner last season, with the five-year-old finishing a solid second on his hurdles bow at Newton Abbot earlier in the month. However, GOODWIN created a deep impression when landing a NH Flat race at this venue in February and Chris Gordon's gelding looks just the type to excel now entering this discipline. Geezer Rockstar is another to note on his debut over the smaller obstacles, along with ex-French recruit Sun Joy.
Prediction : 1st Goodwin 2nd Roger Pol 3rd Geezer Rockstar

Although PILOT SHOW didn't prove the most consistent last season, the eight-year-old is more than capable judged on his best efforts and looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to start this campaign with a victory. No Hubs No Hoobs has bits and pieces of form that would give him a better chance than most in this contest and Joe Tizzard's inmate is feared most, ahead of Sandy Brook on his belated comeback.
Prediction : 1st Pilot Show 2nd No Hubs No Hoobs 3rd Sandy Brook

REBEL INTENTIONS found only a subsequent winner too strong at Plumpton last month and the son of Aiken must hold every chance of regaining the winning thread off the same rating in this event. Seasonal-debutant Samatian won on his opening bow at Stratford last season and must enter calculations for a yard in fine form. Celtic Fortune and Libor Lad are relatively unexposed in handicap company and are also worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Rebel Intentions 2nd Samatian 3rd Celtic Fortune

MR FREEDOM finished a creditable fifth in the Boodles at Cheltenham and he's been in excellent form on the Flat over the summer months. Sheena West's gelding returned to hurdling ove C&D 18 days ago, where he hit the woodwork in a higher grade. Today's drop in class can see the son of Sixties Icon regain the winning thread, while Kansas Du Berlais and Young Merlin appeal as the most likely dangers.
Prediction : 1st Mr Freedom 2nd Kansas Du Berlais 3rd Young Merlin

TAMARIS has found his feet over fences lately, notching up comfortable successes at Plumpton and then here last time, and the hat-trick looks a real possibility despite a 5lb raised mark. Good Friday Fairy showed a fair level of ability of hurdles and connections have wasted no time sending him over fences. Similar comments apply to Big Blue Moon and both can be expected to be involved.
Prediction : 1st Tamaris 2nd Good Friday Fairy 3rd Big Blue Moon

GAYE LEGACY posted two creditable efforts in defeat in novice hurdles at the back end of last season and the five-year-old is fancied to make a winning return. Tom Symonds' mare makes her handicap bow off what looks a generous mark and she may prove too strong for chief rival Our Nel. The daughter of Mount Nelson is open to improvement now entering this sphere and isn't taken lightly, while Bushtucker Park looks best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Gaye Legacy 2nd Our Nel 3rd Bushtucker Park

Angel's Dream justified strong support in the market when getting up to win a maiden hurdle at Plumpton in May and Gary Moore's charge likely has more to come now entering handicaps. However, FORT DE L'OCEAN is only up 4lb in the ratings for his C&D triumph last month and makes slightly more appeal. Ventara is a potential improver on his handicap bow and any market support for the five-year-old would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Fort De LOcean 2nd Angels Dream 3rd Ventara
