UK Horse Racing Tips: Fontwell

Previous point-to-point winner Davidoc should be one for the shortlist if the application of a tongue-tie has the desired effect after fading late on in both of his starts under Rules. However, it may pay to side with LIVIN ON LUCO, who was a promising second on his first start over hurdles at Chepstow in November, form which has been franked since, prior to overjumping and coming down when still in with a winning chance at the same C&D a few weeks later. Jack Sparrow Grey shouldn't be underestimated, with Gary Moore's charge looking sure to improve after running green on his hurdles debut at Plumpton last month.
Prediction : 1st Livin On Luco 2nd Davidoc 3rd Jack Sparrow Grey

GORCOMBE MOONSHINE holds obvious claims off the back of his victory on seasonal reappearance at this track last month, beating Clondaw Robin into third. A 3lb rise may not be enough to stop Robert Walford's charge following up again here. Millies Mite is not to be underestimated if the combination of first time cheekpieces and wind surgery spark some improvement but her winless run dates back to 2020.
Prediction : 1st Gorcombe Moonshine 2nd Clondaw Robin 3rd Millies Mite

The step down in trip poses a question mark for Baby Shally, who kept on won over 2m5f at Wincanton last month, and she may struggle to successfully concede 7lb to VILLAINESS. The selection bumped into an in-form rival when finishing a good second at Lingfield on her hurdling bow last month after running green early on and she is taken to go one better here with that experience under her belt. Jackeline finished fourth in the same race, five and quarter lengths behind the selection, and a similar eventuality can play out here.
Prediction : 1st Villainess 2nd Jackeline 3rd Baby Shally

Forecast ground conditions should hold no fears for the in-form Herakles Westwood, who won at this track last month when keeping on well to the line. That said, the drop in class could pay dividends for connections of ILANZ. Anthony Charlton's gelding was running against some useful rivals in stronger races than this last season and he can take this ease in grade in his stride if ready to roll on his return. The drop in trip looks sure to suit Bertie Wooster, who faded late on over 3m1f at Hereford most recently and he could make the frame.
Prediction : 1st Ilanz 2nd Bertie Wooster 3rd Herakles Westwood

CAPTAIN CLAUDE has already won at this track twice this season, posting an impressive effort over C&D most recently, and he should be able to add to his tally here, having scored with enough in hand to suggest a 7lb hike may underestimate him. Heaven Smart would rate as the principal danger to the selection if the application of a first-time visor has the desired effect, but his jumping still leaves a lot to be desired. Whydah Gally shouldn't be dismissed lightly and has claims on the form which saw him win over hurdles at Lingfield in November, but his lacklustre return to fences at Chepstow most recently tempers enthusiasm.
Prediction : 1st Captain Claude 2nd Heaven Smart 3rd Whydah Gally

SHEWEARSTHEWELLIES hasn't looked back since sporting cheekpieces on her last two starts and the retained headgear can help her get her head in front to bring up the hat-trick here, after completing a 2m7f double at Lingfield with ease off 6lb lower in November. Abbeyhill is fancied as the main danger to the selection for the in-form Neil Mulholland team and he won well at Catterick just eight days ago, but he carries a 7lb penalty for that success. What's My Line also deserves a second look, with the marked step up in trip an interesting move for Michael Madgwick's gelding.
Prediction : 1st Shewearsthewellies 2nd Abbeyhill 3rd Whats My Line
