UK Horse Racing Tips: Fakenham

Blue Universe will doubtless be popular with punters after a couple of creditable efforts in warmer races at Sandown, but this will be no penalty kick and it may pay to side with IKIGAI STAR. The son of Sea The Stars was a useful Flat performer for Joseph O'Brien and judging by the pick of his efforts in that sphere, there is definitely hope that he can win a race of this nature. It may be a long final furlong for supporters of Camarrate, who has the ability to get competitive but has yet to fully prove he stays.
Prediction : 1st Ikigai Star 2nd Blue Universe 3rd Camarrate

BILLAMS LEGACY clearly benefited from wind surgery when finishing an excellent second at Catterick in December 2022, pulling clear with the winner, and off what looks a workable mark on her handicap debut, she should take some stopping, despite the absence. The lightly-raced Omaha Wish represents title-seeking Dan Skelton and there is no doubt she will be primed to strike on her first foray into handicap company. Glance At Me completes the shortlist after a creditable second off this mark at Plumpton.
Prediction : 1st Billams Legacy 2nd Omaha Wish 3rd Glance At Me

JERRASH's official rating continues to slide and after a subdued effort over timber at Plumpton, this looks to be a good opportunity for him to return to the winner's enclosure back over the larger obstacles. Ingennio disappointed when down the field over an extended 2m at Huntingdon last week but while he comes with risks attached, stepping up in trip on his second start since undergoing a breathing operation can help him give the selection something to think about. Shortcross Storm completes the shortlist, but inconsistency continues to be the main concern with him.
Prediction : 1st Jerrash 2nd Ingennio 3rd Shortcross Storm

SAMBEZI was well held when second at Plumpton last time, but a reproduction of that effort may still be good enough to take this contest. Up For Parol struggled in the Lanzarote two starts ago, but his efforts either side of that suggest that he could make the frame. Charlie's Glance should not be underestimated on his return to action.
Prediction : 1st Sambezi 2nd Up For Parol 3rd Charlies Glance

CLOUDY WEDNESDAY was only beaten a neck into second over 2m4f at Huntingdon a week ago and the eight-year-old merits the utmost respect off the same mark here. Conceroe also filled the runner-up position on his most recent outing, over 3m5f at this venue, and he could prove to be the main threat, although Vetoncall showed more last time and cannot be discounted.
Prediction : 1st Cloudy Wednesday 2nd Conceroe 3rd Vetoncall

STAR WALKING was impressive between the flags in Ireland a few months ago and it would be no surprise to see Harry Fry's mare, who cost 115,000 pounds subsequently, make a successful debut under Rules. Jazzmina Queen is related to plenty of winners and has to be of interest on her racecourse bow, while Briery Bee and Dropitlikeitshot are next best.
Prediction : 1st Star Walking 2nd Jazzmina Queen 3rd Briery Bee
