UK Horse Racing Tips: Fontwell

Hurdles debutant KOTARI has some useful form on the Flat and he cannot be taken lightly entering this sphere. The gelded son of Nathaniel gets the vote in what appears to be a more than winnable contest on paper. Step It Out Goldie, who is also tackling the smaller obstacles for the first time, is respected following her third in a Cork bumper, while Berlais Du George is entitled to build on his fourth at Plumpton.
Prediction : 1st Kotari 2nd Step It Out Goldie 3rd Berlais Du George

The returning Aviles warrants consideration on his handicap/chase bow as his runner-up effort at Plumpton in April is solid. However, Gary Moore's inmate lacks experience in this sphere and HARDY FELLA makes most appeal. The six-year-old displayed enough promise on his fourth-placed finish at Ludlow last month to suggest that he can land a race of this nature. Chess Player is another to note if putting his latest disappointment when down the field at Huntingdon behind him.
Prediction : 1st Hardy Fella 2nd Aviles 3rd Chess Player

Betfair Hurdle fourth YORKSEA had some strong form in the book last season and last month's spin on the Flat should have put him spot on for this. The son of Sea The Stars is unbeaten at this course in two appearances and he should take all the beating. Up For Parol was unable to build on his third-placed finish in the Lanzarote at Kempton in January, but the seven-year-old lurks on an attractive mark and could be freshened up by a break. Word Has It can claim the minor spoils.
Prediction : 1st Yorksea 2nd Up For Parol 3rd Word Has It

Max Dynamo bolted up on his seasonal reappearance at Chepstow in February and the veteran shouldn't be underestimated on his return from a 214-day break. Nevertheless, the gelded son of Midnight Legend remains 13lb higher than that victory and last-time-out Sedgefield winner TOMMIE BEAU rates a more solid proposition. Seamus Mullins' charge won't be lacking for stamina and boasts obvious claims in his current heart. Movethechains lurks on an attractive mark and warrants a second look too.
Prediction : 1st Tommie Beau 2nd Max Dynamo 3rd Movethechains

Steven Seagull is the only one with previous jumping experience but his fourth in a 2m3f handicap here off a mark of 98 hardly sets an insurmountable standard. RUNNING THE GAME showed some ability behind quite nice types in France and changed hands for 45,000 euros back in the summer. Gary Moore's juveniles are usually well educated and he is fancied to make a winning NH debut. Bubblecraft landed a claimer across the Channel and has since been sold for 21,000gns, but Queen Of Steel was no better than ordinary on the level.
Prediction : 1st Running The Game 2nd Bubblecraft 3rd Steven Seagull

CAPTAIN CLAUDE excels when the mud is flying, as he showed when running away with a novices' handicap hurdle here back in March, and he made a pleasing enough reappearance at Ffos Las last week. That should have blown away any cobwebs ahead of this chasing debut and he can make it a winning one. Walk In The Wild only got as far as the second on his Warwick return, but he is back down to a handy mark. Hilltown was never a factor over the extended 2m3f at Plumpton, but this trip suits better.
Prediction : 1st Captain Claude 2nd Walk In The Wild 3rd Hilltown

My Lady Grey is interesting on her return from a long layoff and she is well treated if ready to roll. SAM'S AMOUR has fitness on her side, though, after a promising third on her handicap debut at Exeter. She had a subsequent scorer in behind, while the winner has gone close again since, so the form is solid. Excuses emerged for Miss Fedora's lacklustre Stratford performance and she has been given time to get over it. Brown Bullet has claims now back from a break too.
Prediction : 1st Sams Amour 2nd My Lady Grey 3rd Miss Fedora
