UK Horse Racing Tips: Wetherby

WILLSBURG benefited from stepping up in trip when getting off the mark over timber at Ffos Las at the start of the month. His jumping wasn't particularly fluent on that occasion and it is hoped the application of cheekpieces might aid his cause in that regard. Similar comments apply to Magical King, who also boasts the same headgear for the first time, while Tommy Time is expected to be competitive following wind surgery.
Prediction : 1st Willsburg 2nd Magical King 3rd Tommy Time

Eveque finally gained a first success on his most recent outing at Sedgefield when proving too strong for COOLMOYNE (second). However, the former would have to command plenty of respect as the winner's improvement may well have come from stepping up to 3m3f and a 10lb pull at the weights could see Simon Waugh's gelding reverse the form over this distance. Le Grand Vert didn't appear to get home in the same contest and could bounce back in a first-time visor.
Prediction : 1st Coolmoyne 2nd Eveque 3rd Le Grand Vert

WRECKLESS ERIC represents a stable which is currently in excellent form and he's taken to build on a promising start to his career when finishing second at Newbury. I Wish You has placed on both starts to date and is entitled to improve on his latest effort as that was his debut over timber. Rockola makes her first appearance over hurdles and is respected along with Speiriuil, who has hit the frame on all three outings.
Prediction : 1st Wreckless Eric 2nd I Wish You 3rd Rockola

EATON COLLINA could not have won any easier over C&D last time out and a 7lb rise for that success could prove lenient as he looks to follow up for his in-form connections. Ground conditions are in his favour once more and he should have too much for the capable Heros, as well as Will Sting, who was a creditable second at Leicester last month.
Prediction : 1st Eaton Collina 2nd Will Sting 3rd Heros

An impressive winner over C&D earlier in the season and an early faller on her most recent start at Haydock, WINDTOTHELIGHTNING could still be well treated off a mark of 132 and looks capable of regaining the winning thread. There was just under two lengths between War Soldier (first) and The Four Sixes (third) when they met over C&D earlier in the month and both are likely to be thereabouts again. North Parade and Uncle Bert are noted too.
Prediction : 1st Windtothelightning 2nd The Four Sixes 3rd North Parade

Runner-up on two of his last three starts over fences, HERITIER has done well since joining new connections and it may be that a return to the smaller obstacles prompts a return to winning ways. Narrowly denied at Catterick, Beaumesnil can give him the most to think about and is noted along with Sailed Away, who wasn't beaten far on his penultimate start at Huntingdon. Others to note include Brandt, Play By The Rules and Western Jill.
Prediction : 1st Heritier 2nd Beaumesnil 3rd Sailed Away
