UK Horse Racing Tips: Fakenham

HIERO SPORT made a pleasing start to his career when runner-up in a bumper at Market Rasen in March and the Alex Hales-trained six-year-old appears to have been found an excellent opportunity to go one better. Fellow jumping newcomer Call The Dance boasts a smart pedigree and is likely to serve it up to the selection having won at Southwell in April, while Roger Pol is entitled to step forward following his return effort at Newton Abbot.
Prediction : 1st Hiero Sport 2nd Call The Dance 3rd Roger Pol

GRAIN OF HOPE has to concede 7lb all round, having got off the mark at the third time of asking in this sphere, but the sharp nature of this track appears likely to play to her strengths and she gets the vote to land back-to-back victories. Majestic Jameela (third) and Limelight (fourth) were behind the selection at Ludlow and are expected to play similar roles.
Prediction : 1st Grain Of Hope 2nd Majestic Jameela 3rd Limelight

REGARDE made a winning start to life over fences at Huntingdon on his return to action last month and he is likely to have more to offer, especially considering that his jumping was far from fluent. Brandisova improved at the back end of last season when switching to the larger obstacles and she commands plenty of respect. Staying is The Skiffle King's forte and he should be running on at the business end.
Prediction : 1st Regarde 2nd Brandisova 3rd The Skiffle King

OUR NEL has posted a couple of solid efforts in novice/maiden company since going jumping. Harry Fry's mare moves into handicaps from a potentially workable mark and it would be no surprise were she to improve now stepped up in trip. Luna Dora bolted up on her sole visit here and must be respected with that in mind. Sawpit Sienna, who won the corresponding event from a 6lb lower mark 12 months ago, is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Our Nel 2nd Luna Dora 3rd Sawpit Sienna

Aviles and Gitche Gumee make plenty of appeal switched to fences for their reappearances, but it might be worth taking a chance on LLANDINABO LAD. Tom Symonds' eight-year-old showed a decent level of form over the larger obstacles last season and has dropped 13lb since going chasing. He was slightly disappointing on his return at Ffos Las, but the ease in class ought to help.
Prediction : 1st Llandinabo Lad 2nd Aviles 3rd Gitche Gumee

PRETENDING hit the woodwork in a warm premier handicap at Cheltenham when last seen and, from just 2lb higher, Lucy Wadham's filly is fancied to make a successful reappearance. Sergeant Wilson was too keen to do himself justice at Southwell but he might fare better with that run under his belt. A C&D winner in May 2022, Jubilee Gold warrants a market check ahead of his return.
Prediction : 1st Pretending 2nd Sergeant Wilson 3rd Jubilee Gold
