UK Horse Racing Tips: Newton Abbot

SILENT REVOLUTION looks to be the class act in this contest, having been rated as high as 136, and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to get back to winning ways on his first start over hurdles since February. His jockey, Jay Tidball, has a good record at this track and that is a big plus as he aims to see off Presenting Nelly, who ran creditable on her penultimate outing at Uttoxeter over further. Still a relatively unexposed sort in this sphere, Kintaro is entitled to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Silent Revolution 2nd Presenting Nelly 3rd Kintaro

The Dan Skelton team has been ticking over nicely of late and RONNIES RULES looks ready for his first assignment over the smaller obstacles, having won all three of his bumper starts. As a son of Imperial Monarch, who scored on heavy going, the testing ground should not be an issue and the five-year-old is preferred to Can't Resist It, who is open to more improvement on the jumping front after fast-finishing second at Market Rasen in May. Runner-up on her penultimate start over C&D, Hard As Nails cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Ronnies Rules 2nd Cant Resist It 3rd Hard As Nails

Turned out again quickly under a 7lb penalty after an easy success over 3m at Perth last week, SKYJACK HIJACK is thriving at present and going back up in trip should not inconvenience as he looks to land the hat-trick. Shaving showed major improvement from her first to second start for new connections at Worcester and stepping further up in distance may see her in an even better light. Queens Venture has yet to get it together in this sphere, but she could be racing off a decent mark on her handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Skyjack Hijack 2nd Shaving 3rd Queens Venture

Dual bumper winner GUARD THE MOON made all to win over timber at Hexham in May and, pitched into handicaps from a mark of 114, he can repeat the dose. Ben Lilly struggled on the Flat earlier this month but that should have blown the cobwebs away and he can feature, along with Full Monty, who contested a warm class 2 at Worcester on Friday.
Prediction : 1st Guard The Moon 2nd Ben Lilly 3rd Full Monty

MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE wasn't always the most fluent when winning on her chasing debut at Southwell last month, but she was well clear at the finish and should sharpen up for that experience. A 6lb rise is unlikely to halt her progress and she can go in again. Home Free has undergone wind surgery since finishing second over fences at Hexham in May and she is the main threat. Inca De Lafayette can follow them home ahead of Lock Out, who must compete from 21lb out of the handicap.
Prediction : 1st Moveit Like Minnie 2nd Home Free 3rd Inca De Lafayette

Hold Your Fort hasn't looked back since winning over C&D in June. Three further track-and-trip successes have followed, meaning he is now 43lb higher than that June triumph, and Debra Hamer's charge should go well if handling forecast conditions. INVESTMENT MANAGER is proven in the mud, though and having won over marginally further here three weeks ago, he can follow up. Bells Of Peterboro is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Investment Manager 2nd Hold Your Fort 3rd Bells Of Peterboro
