UK Horse Racing Tips: Newton Abbot

Having placed in third on his hurdles bow at Ffos Las in May, BOYLES HILL should put that experience to good use. The son of Watar has also proven himself in soft underfoot conditions in the past, and he rates the one to beat. Market support for fellow point-to-point winner Manowest would be interesting on his Rules debut and the six-year-old warrants respect, but the Willie Mullins-trained Mr Escobar may give the selection most to think about on his first outing in this sphere.
Prediction : 1st Boyles Hill 2nd Mr Escobar 3rd Manowest

IN THIS WORLD built on a trio of runner-up efforts when opening his account over fences at Worcester. The Dan Skelton-trained gelding was value for further that day and a 6lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent him from completing the double. Fellow last-time-out winner Feel The Pinch scored on the hurdle track at this venue and the switch to chasing shouldn't prevent another bold bid. He is feared most, ahead of Opening Bid.
Prediction : 1st In This World 2nd Feel The Pinch 3rd Opening Bid

The hat-trick seeking Clearance warrants respect in his current heart and the son of Authorized is likely to give another good account of himself. However, he hasn't always performed to his best on a slower surface, and this could prove a suitable opportunity for WINTERWATCH to regain the winning thread. Harry Fry's charge performed creditably behind a subsequent winner in a novice hurdle at Stratford last month and this return to handicap company will suit. Melton Mossy also enters calculations dropping in class.
Prediction : 1st Winterwatch 2nd Clearance 3rd Melton Mossy

BEGIN THE LUCK found only an unexposed chaser too strong over C&D last month and this looks a good opportunity to go one better. That said, previous C&D winner Fat Sam continues to edge down the weights and there was encouragement to be drawn from his recent Stratford fourth. Limerick Leader showed up well for a long way at Perth in May and recent wind surgery could spark some improvement.
Prediction : 1st Begin The Luck 2nd Fat Sam 3rd Limerick Leader

SEREN Y TEIGR kept on well to finish second over 2m at Ffos Las recently. Evan Williams' five-year-old looks ready for a step back up in trip on that evidence and he is taken to record a breakthrough success. Stratford winner Getmetothemoon hit the frame over 2m1f here latest. That is a solid piece of form given the winner has been on a roll recently and she merits the utmost respect from an unchanged mark. Culligran is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Seren Y Teigr 2nd Getmetothemoon 3rd Culligran

A step up in distance appeared to unlock some improvement in KONIGIN ISABELLA when opening her account over C&D last month. A 4lb higher rating looks more than workable for the Anthony Honeyball-trained mare and she's taken to follow up. Stable debutant Bushmill Boy looks just the type that will benefit from a change of scenery and an improved bid is forecast, while Invictus De Brion is entitled to build on last month's reappearance fourth at Worcester.
Prediction : 1st Konigin Isabella 2nd Bushmill Boy 3rd Invictus De Brion

There was plenty of encouragement to be gleaned from BACK IN THE BAY's fourth-placed Rules bow at Worcester at the start of July. An extra furlong is sure to suit the daughter of Doyen and she ticks the most boxes. Fellow point-to-point runner-up Pure Seduction may serve the most resistance to the selection on her debut in this sphere, ahead of the Tom Lacey-trained newcomer Eskimo Sam.
Prediction : 1st Back In The Bay 2nd Pure Seduction 3rd Eskimo Sam
