UK Horse Racing Tips: Huntingdon

MIXEDWAVE continues to be in cracking form after filling second place in a class 4 event at Market Rasen last time and he is only 1lb higher here. Pam Sly's seven-year-old takes a drop back down in grade and could be hard to beat. Emotional Memories wasn't beaten far into third over the smaller obstacles at Lingfield last month and he has to be considered on his chasing debut, while Mackie Dee is another to note after his third at Market Rasen.
Prediction : 1st Mixedwave 2nd Emotional Memories 3rd Mackie Dee

WILFUL failed to carry a penalty to success on his third bumper start at Catterick, but he was far from disgraced in second and it would be no surprise to see him make an impact on his debut over timber. South Omo Zone struck on his first start for Anthony Charlton in a bumper at Hereford in January and he could have a say, while any market confidence behind Danny's Friend would also be of interest in this open contest.
Prediction : 1st Wilful 2nd South Omo Zone 3rd Dannys Friend

ROYAL RHYTHM won by over four lengths in this grade at Wetherby on Boxing Day and he now has a 6lb higher rating to contend with. The son of Jet Away has really hit the ground running since joining the Jonjo O'Neill stable, and he can make it three wins from four starts for his new connections. Damarta won very nicely at Southwell last time and could go well off 9lb higher on only his third handicap start, while Bluegrass finished a close-up third over C&D last month and is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Royal Rhythm 2nd Damarta 3rd Bluegrass

Runner-up in a valuable handicap at Cheltenham in January, LOUNGE LIZARD sets the standard on form and can strike now dropped in grade off a 3lb higher mark. Soft ground is another plus, and he is preferred to the Wincanton scorer Dibble Decker, as well as General Medrano, who is a capable sort on his day. Eximia is another to note for market support on her first run in the UK.
Prediction : 1st Lounge Lizard 2nd Dibble Decker 3rd Eximia

Second on each of her three starts for these connections, PIPERS CROSS deserves a change in luck and she may just get that stepping back up in trip. Chauffeur Driven has shown a modicum of promise in novice hurdles and the former point-to-point winner is another who could benefit from this stiffer test of stamina. Nimbus Boy and Watchoutitscookie are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Pipers Cross 2nd Chauffeur Driven 3rd Nimbus Boy

A promising third on his debut at Fairyhouse in December, MA SHANTOU has since joined new connections and looks the one to beat on his British debut. Reteti shaped well over shorter here last November and the rise in distance looks a major positive, while Carismatic Soldier makes his debut for a stable that knows how to ready one first time out.
Prediction : 1st Ma Shantou 2nd Reteti 3rd Carismatic Soldier
