UK Horse Racing Tips: Newton Abbot

GOLDEN PATH impressed with the way in which she went about her business when scoring comfortably on her hurdling bow over C&D last month, and she should be tough to stop with a reproduction of that effort. Kalkaroo was last seen finishing third in a similar contest at Market Rasen and another prominent showing looks likely, while Final Entry is also considered making his hurdling debut for the in-form David Pipe team.
Prediction : 1st Golden Path 2nd Kalkaroo 3rd Final Entry

JUGGERNAUT had more in hand than the winning margin suggested when idling on the run-in en route to victory over 2m at Ffos Las last May. Sporting first-time cheekpieces on his handicap debut, he appeals most despite returning from a lengthy spell off the track. Good Impression bounced back to form when finishing runner-up over this trip at Stratford earlier this month and must enter calculations along with Kintaro, who found only a potentially useful sort too good when second over 2m at Worcester latest.
Prediction : 1st Juggernaut 2nd Good Impression 3rd Kintaro

In a wide-open affair, SEREN Y TEIGR gets the tentative vote. Evan Williams' charge bumped into a progressive type when finishing second over 2m at Ffos Las when last seen and, nudged up just 1lb, a bold bid for the gold medal looks likely. Last-time-out winner Konigin Isabella also merits consideration, although she was all out to score on that occasion and a 4lb rise demands more. Invictus De Brion doubtless has the ability to play a hand in a race of this nature and may step forward following his recent fourth at Worcester.
Prediction : 1st Seren Y Teigr 2nd Konigin Isabella 3rd Invictus De Brion

Having displayed a willing attitude to land a hat-trick and Cartmel last month, Saint Bibiana is sure to prove popular and Georgina Nicholls' mare is likely to enter calculations off a 4lb higher mark. However, the downgraded HALIFAX arrives on the back of a solid third in a class 2 event at Uttoxeter and the seven-year-old shades the verdict. Fellow in-form rivals Mr Yeats and Wavering Down are also worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Halifax 2nd Saint Bibiana 3rd Mr Yeats

COLONEL LESLEY found only a subsequent winner too strong over track and trip last month and the son of Lilbourne Lad appears the one to beat. Alan Jones' charge should take some stopping racing off an unchanged mark, with the biggest threat forecast to be posed by Melton Mossy. The five-year-old wasn't disgraced when out of the handicap in a class 3 event over C&D in early July and he isn't taken lightly. Zhang Fei makes most appeal of the remaining rivals.
Prediction : 1st Colonel Lesley 2nd Melton Mossy 3rd Zhang Fei

JERRASH has proved a revelation since combining the fitting of a visor with less aggressive tactics, as evidenced with cosy victories at Bangor and Market Rasen of late. A 5lb rise for the seven-year-old's latest triumph looks far from insurmountable and a hat-trick could be on the cards. Dripsey Moon offered plenty of encouragement on his stable/chase bow when runner-up at Uttoxeter last month and is capable of better, while Glynn is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Jerrash 2nd Dripsey Moon 3rd Glynn

Last-time-out Wincanton runner-up FIREFLY LANE was knocking on the door at this level towards the end of last season and she could be worth persevering with. The Jimmy Frost-trained mare looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to open her account in this sphere, at the main expense of Belgarum. The six-year-old shaped better than the beaten distance suggests when finishing in fourth over C&D in late June and is unlikely to be far away come the finish, while Limerick Leader warrants a market check on his stable bow.
Prediction : 1st Firefly Lane 2nd Belgarum 3rd Limerick Leader
