UK Horse Racing Tips: Wincanton

BOURBALI wasn't beaten far in the Grade 2 Wayward Lad at Kempton last month and the seven-year-old is fancied to regain the winning thread pitched back into handicap company. Pilsdon Pen posted a fair second over C&D on his latest outing and he should mount another bold bid off the same mark. Jeremy Scott's charge is feared most, ahead of Romancero Le Dun, who should have learned plenty from his chase bow when fourth at Chepstow in November.
Prediction : 1st Bourbali 2nd Pilsdon Pen 3rd Romancero Le Dun

Any market support for Henrietta Knight's stable debutant Zettabyte would be interesting, but a couple of other rivals hold more obvious claims. GOD'S OWN GETAWAY has placed on his two hurdle appearances in novice company and an opening mark of 105 could be within his range. Nimbus Boy landed a gamble when scoring at Hereford in a conditional jockeys' recently and is sure to prove popular being 7lb well-in. The six-year-old isn't taken lightly and he may give the selection most to think about.
Prediction : 1st Gods Own Getaway 2nd Nimbus Boy 3rd Zettabyte

Flash Gorcombe has been running well in defeat of late, as evidenced at Exeter (second) and Taunton (third) in recent months, and the seven-year-old should go well again. However, DEAR RALPHY looked the winner for a long way over hurdles at Lingfield in November before weakening into the runner-up berth. Anthony Honeyball's charge could take all the beating if taking to fences and he shades the verdict. Boston Joe and Moytier also enter the reckoning.
Prediction : 1st Dear Ralphy 2nd Flash Gorcombe 3rd Boston Joe

Now that the penny has dropped for DAANY after a determined success over C&D on Saturday, there could be more to come from the seven-year-old, despite a 7lb penalty. Joe Tickle's charge can get the better of Ludlow scorer Little Pi, as well as Dancing Harry, who wasn't beaten far at Taunton last time out. Others to note include Great Valley and Staar.
Prediction : 1st Daany 2nd Dancing Harry 3rd Little Pi

A relatively weak affair where it can pay to side with ILLICO DE COTTE, who was a promising second on his debut at Lingfield before being pulled up in Grade 2 company at Cheltenham last month. The six-year-old may have too much for Howaya Now, who ran a career-best on his penultimate effort at Newbury when second, and Oak Creek.
Prediction : 1st Illico De Cotte 2nd Howaya Now 3rd Oak Creek

CALL THE DANCE found only one too good on her hurdle debut at Fakenham in November and she would have learned a great deal from that experience. The daughter of Kayf Tara is likely to have plenty more to come and could prove a tough nut to crack. Ballybay failed to fire on his only bumper start for the Willie Mullins yard before switching to the Gary Moore stable and he looks like a fascinating recruit to keep an eye on in the market. Military Tycoon is a fair performer on the Flat and could also go well.
Prediction : 1st Call The Dance 2nd Ballybay 3rd Military Tycoon

Centreofattention went for 65,000 pounds when changing hands in May 2022 and the son of Choeur Du Nord has to be respected. However, it may pay to side with experience in this contest, which lies with the Paul Nicholls-trained RICKETY BRIDGE. The five-year-old wasn't entirely disgraced in fourth in a Listed heat at Cheltenham in November and he could put that solid effort to good use and get off the mark. Any market support behind Jackpot D'ainay would also be of interest.
Prediction : 1st Rickety Bridge 2nd Centreofattention 3rd Jackpot Dainay
