UK Horse Racing Tips: Huntingdon

The hat-trick seeking Galway Mahler warrants respect having after scoring at Huntingdon and Lingfield in recent months, with a 5lb rise for the seven-year-old's latest success unlikely to prevent another prominent showing. However, FAMILY POT caught the eye when a never-nearer third at Hereford last time out and Sheila Lewis' charge may prove to be the better handicapped of the pair now faced with a stiffer test of stamina. Recent Leicester winner Martalmix'jac shouldn't be far away either.
Prediction : 1st Family Pot 2nd Galway Mahler 3rd Martalmixjac

MAJESTIC JAMEELA justified strong support in the market when gaining a second career victory over hurdles at Plumpton last month. A 5lb rise in the ratings looks far from insurmountable for the daughter of Postponed and a double could be on the cards. Villainess has posted a pair of respectable runner-up efforts in novice company and she isn't taken lightly racing off what looks a fair opening mark. Richard Bandey's mare is feared most, ahead of A Tickatickatiming.
Prediction : 1st Majestic Jameela 2nd Villainess 3rd A Tickatickatiming

Although INEDIT STAR comes with risks attached having bled when runner-up over fences at Haydock in December, the six-year-old is hard to oppose on his return to timber. An 81-day layoff is likely to have benefitted Nick Kent's charge and he's taken to get the better of Broughshane. The gelded son of Mahler appeared to be travelling with verve when falling at the third-last hurdle at Chepstow in January. The returning Seigneur Des As may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Inedit Star 2nd Broughshane 3rd Seigneur Des As

This can go the way of SECRET SAUCE, who showed plenty on his second start for new connections when a promising runner-up at Hereford in January. This looks like an ideal opportunity to get off the mark and the son of Starspanglebanner is preferred to Jackpot Cash and Mirabad, who shaped encouragingly on his hurdling/UK debut at Wetherby. Others to note include Arthurian Fable, Badlands Boy and Mount Gallion.
Prediction : 1st Secret Sauce 2nd Mirabad 3rd Jackpot Cash

A relatively talented sort on the level who contested the Queen's Vase in 2022, RULER LEGEND has yet to put it together over hurdles but a mark of 91 on his handicap debut could underestimate the son of Camelot. In a winnable affair, he gets the vote ahead of Grasshopper Time and Sanitise, who arguably ran a career-best when fourth at Kempton in November.
Prediction : 1st Ruler Legend 2nd Sanitiser 3rd Grasshopper Time

In a race where quite a few look to hold no secrets from the handicapper, it may pay to side with the less exposed AVILES. On his first start since undergoing wind surgery, Gary Moore's charge performed with credit when finishing third over 2m1f in a higher grade last month and he can come home in front now sent back up in trip. The main danger could be Santa Clarita, who races off an unchanged mark after finishing an admirable second over an extended 2m3f at Ffos Las last month, while Out On The Tear is also respected, especially if the application of cheekpieces perk him up.
Prediction : 1st Aviles 2nd Santa Clarita 3rd Out On The Tear

FRENCH SYMPHONY arrives on the back of a third in a warm bumper at Doncaster in January, finishing just over three lengths behind a subsequent winner, and he can put that experience to good use to show his rivals the way home for the in-form Ben Pauling team. Ballywite warrants respect on his racecourse debut for his astute connections, while 72,000-euro purchase Jackpot D'ainay looked to be a work in progress when running green in a Wincanton bumper most recently and he commands respect with that introduction under his belt.
Prediction : 1st French Symphony 2nd Ballywite 3rd Jackpot Dainay
