UK Horse Racing Tips: Huntingdon

R S AMBUSH took a nice step forward on only his second handicap start to fill the runner-up spot at Carlisle last month and he was put up 3lb for that effort. The five-year-old could have more to offer and has Luke Scott's 3lb claim aids his cause further. Naturally High was joined on the line to dead-heat for first place at Fontwell last time and is likely to have his supporters off a 3lb higher rating, while Celtic Fortune is in solid form and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st R S Ambush 2nd Naturally High 3rd Celtic Fortune

COCO MADEMOISELLE was sent off at odds-on to secure her first victory over the smaller obstacles by an easy 11 lengths at Lingfield in November and that was a pleasant step forward from her debut effort. The daughter of Doyen has been handed a rating of 121 after that display and can shoulder her 7lb penalty to success. The main threat might be hurdle debutant Giver The Hollie, who was placed in a bumper at Wetherby last time and could prove a different proposition in this sphere. Of the remainder, Moonlit Potter appeals most.
Prediction : 1st Coco Mademoiselle 2nd Giver The Hollie 3rd Moonlit Potter

TELLHERTHENAME lost his action when being pulled up at Grade 1 level at Aintree last month. Prior to that, he gave a good beating to Lucky Place, who was a subsequent winner in fine style at Doncaster, and the son of Malinas could prove very hard to beat back in a minor novice event, even with a 6lb penalty to carry. Dartmoor Pirate can give him the most to think about after his victory at Wincanton last time, while Home Free is an interesting contender making his hurdle debut.
Prediction : 1st Tellherthename 2nd Dartmoor Pirate 3rd Home Free

Kartoon And Co finished a creditable second under a penalty at Market Rasen last month, having been on target at Stratford on his debut, and he is likely to prove popular once more, along with Clairefontaine scorer Kabral Du Mathan, who merits respect on his first start for the Paul Nicholls team. That said, Gary Moore has landed the two previous renewals and so SOIGNEUX BELL, who put it all together when romping home at Fontwell last time, gets the vote.
Prediction : 1st Soigneux Bell 2nd Kartoon And Co 3rd Kabral Du Mathan

TWENTY TWENTY was able to exploit a sliding handicap mark when winning at Wincanton last month, so a subsequent 5lb rise might not be enough to prevent the nine-year-old from following up. Connections have wasted no time in sending Mullys Choice over the larger obstacles which makes him of considerable interest, while Mixedwave and Felton Bellevue appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Twenty Twenty 2nd Mullys Choice 3rd Mixedwave

The vote goes to BLUE BEACH, who shaped with promise on her chasing bow/seasonal return last month, finishing third, and natural improvement ought to make Mel Rowley's charge a solid contender today. Shirocco's Dream struggled in a warm class 2 event at Hereford on her latest outing but she must be of interest now eased in grade, along with Jacks Touch, who made it two wins from her last three when winning at Fakenham 24 days ago.
Prediction : 1st Blue Beach 2nd Shiroccos Dream 3rd Jacks Touch
