UK Horse Racing Tips: Wetherby

TWINJETS made the perfect start to life under the tutelage of Paul Nicholls when landing the spoils in taking fashion at Doncaster. The handicapper has had his say by putting the six-year-old up 9lb, but there should be more to come from him over this distance. The Same created a deep impression on his chasing bow when justifying favouritism at Market Rasen and can give the selection plenty to think about.
Prediction : 1st Twinjets 2nd The Same 3rd null

ABBEYHILL found only subsequent Ascot scorer Top Cloud too strong on his latest outing at Taunton and a 5lb rise may not be enough to prevent the six-year-old from regaining the winning thread. The hat-trick seeking Shewearsthewellies isn't taken lightly and is likely to give another good account of herself. Hexham victor Clovis Boy should have more to come now faced with a stiffer test of stamina, while handicap debutant Knacker Trapper is one to consider at longer odds.
Prediction : 1st Abbeyhill 2nd Shewearsthewellies 3rd Clovis Boy

GAZETTE BOURGEOISE was just denied by the progressive James Jet on her seasonal bow at Ffos Las earlier in the month. The pair drew 22 lengths clear of the third-placed finisher that day and a 3lb rise looks far from insurmountable for Ben Case's charge. Midnight Mary has posted some creditable efforts in class 3 events of late and she should be in the mix on this drop in grade. Anti Bridgie also looks capable of landing a race at this level.
Prediction : 1st Gazette Bourgeoise 2nd Midnight Mary 3rd Anti Bridgie

Konfusion has been off for a long time since his third on hurdling debut at Southwell, but is one to consider. Sao Carlos, who was strongly supported in the betting on his jumping bow at Lingfield last month, is also respected despite having jumped out to the right on several occasions. However, BANTEER has a tad more experience and with the form of his Wincanton third looking solid, the Paul Nicholls-trained gelding may have the edge.
Prediction : 1st Banteer 2nd Sao Carlos 3rd Konfusion

Paul Nicholls introduces a highly appealing stable debutant in the shape of KABRAL DU MATHAN, who won his sole start over hurdles in France and looks well placed to make a big impact on his first run on these shores. Having handled cut in the ground, he looks set to encounter ideal underfoot conditions and heads the shortlist based on potential for further progression. Ironopolis and Captain Potter are feared most of those with previous jumping experience, while the ex-Irish Silverbridge is notable on his hurdles/stable debut.
Prediction : 1st Kabral Du Mathan 2nd Ironopolis 3rd Captain Potter

GUNSIGHT RIDGE was beaten into fifth over 2m4f at Aintree when last sighted and the handicapper may have been kind to drop him 2lb for that display. Olly Murphy's eight-year-old has been sidelined for over a year, but he has won first time out in the past and this trip suits better. Xcitations didn't run badly in defeat at Newbury last time and is 1lb lower now, so it would be no surprise to see him get into contention. Gold Des Bois is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Gunsight Ridge 2nd Xcitations 3rd Gold Des Bois

WESTERN HARMONY changed hands for 115,000 pounds in the Goffs UK Spring sales in May and goes for the Nicky Henderson yard on his debut under Rules. The four-year-old was successful in the second of two point-to-points and appears a bright prospect. The Northernlights brings the best known form to the table after his fifth at Cheltenham in October and should take a step forward. Any market support for 135,000-euro purchase Super Saint would make him of significant interest for his powerful connections.
Prediction : 1st Western Harmony 2nd The Northernlights 3rd Super Saint
