UK Horse Racing Tips: Fontwell

PRINCE IMPERIAL and Huelgoat both come into this contest off the back of impressive victories, but slight preference is for the former after his 23-length success over 2m3f here. The son of Frankel is a classy performer, currently rated 87 on the Flat, and he looks well placed to follow up. As for the latter, he has to be considered after justifying favouritism at Stratford last month and is the obvious threat. Hauraki Gulf looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Prince Imperial 2nd Huelgoat 3rd Hauraki Gulf

INSTANT GAMBLER was a shock winner, judged on his odds, in this grade over C&D earlier in the month, but there didn't seem to be any fluke about the manner of that victory. Alexandra Dunn's eight-year-old was returning from a long absence on that occasion so he might take a step forward to defy his 7lb rise. Coconut Twist has made the frame at this level on each of his last two starts and should go well again, while Getupearly can fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Instant Gambler 2nd Coconut Twist 3rd Getupearly

Honneur D'Ajonc finished a disappointing sixth when sent off favourite at Perth last time but if he can run to the level of his second at Stratford prior to that then he could get into contention. However, a chance is taken on STANLEY PINCOMBE, who could only manage fourth over 2m3f at Taunton in April but this drop in trip might prove to be a good move. With that in mind, he gets the nod to notch his fourth career victory. Drop Flight needs to be monitored in the betting market on his first start for the Dan Skelton yard.
Prediction : 1st Stanley Pincombe 2nd Honneur DAjonc 3rd Drop Flight

LUCKY ROSE looked in need of further when staying on for a distant second over the extended 2m5f here on her handicap debut and should relish the extra yardage on offer today. She gets the nod ahead of Propelled, who filled the runner-up berth off this mark in a similar event at Stratford when last seen in July. Redbridge Rosie merits consideration following a 2lb drop in the ratings since her latest start.
Prediction : 1st Lucky Rose 2nd Propelled 3rd Redbridge Rosie

This is a tricky puzzle for punters to solve but there is plenty to like about the chances of GONE IN SIXTY, who was doing his best work at the finish when runner-up the last twice and should appreciate this longer trip. Lady Harriett has strong claims on her neck second over an extended 3m1f at Cartmel last month but she is 4lb higher now, while Danzini is respected on her C&D victory off 4lb lower in May. Fellow track-and-trip scorer Rubys Reward and Luna Run are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Gone In Sixty 2nd Lady Harriett 3rd Danzini

Following a C&D success, CALL OFF THE DOGS only found a subsequent winner too good when bidding for a hat-trick here in June and this looks a good opportunity for him to make a winning return from a break. Supposedtobe is dropped 3lb on the back of a couple of placed efforts and he looks the biggest threat to the selection, ahead of course winner Pure Theatre.
Prediction : 1st Call Off The Dogs 2nd Supposedtobe 3rd Pure Theatre

CALSHOT SPIT is fancied to give weight and a beating to these rivals. Sheena West's gelding only found subsequent winner Got Grey too good on his handicap debut at Stratford last month and that solid display is wedged between two decisive victories on the Flat. Open to greater improvement, he is expected to have too much for the likes of Martin Spirit, who has also been in fine form on the level, and Atreides.
Prediction : 1st Calshot Spit 2nd Martin Spirit 3rd Atreides

SELECTIVELISTENING is slowly but steadily getting the hang of things and posted a solid runner-up effort on just his second handicap start over an extended 2m5f here latest, when he led at the last before being headed on the run-in. Cutting back in distance today, he makes slightly more appeal than Sanitiser, who arrives fit from the Flat, and the returning Highway One O Five.
Prediction : 1st Selectivelistening 2nd Sanitiser 3rd Highway One O Five
