UK Horse Racing Tips: Fontwell

MARETTIMO lost little in defeat when finishing a gallant second over an extended 3m1f at Warwick in May 2023, and he looks potentially well treated off a 2lb lower mark. Now returning from a lengthy break off his last winning mark, he looks the one to side with. Galloping Pride showed up well for a long way under a bold front-running ride before being worn down in the closing stages over 2m7f at Worcester in August, and he merits respect upped 3lb. Sublime Heights is also respected.
Prediction : 1st Marettimo 2nd Galloping Pride 3rd Sublime Heights

REACH FOR THE MOON had a subsequent winner back in third when running out a comfortable winner over 2m at Worcester in July, and he gets the vote to bring up the double. Hell Hound looked a smart prospect when winning well over an extended 2m4f at Southwell when last seen, and he should remain competitive, while King William Rufus doubtless has the ability to play a hand in a race like this if on a going day.
Prediction : 1st Reach For The Moon 2nd Hell Hound 3rd King William Rufus

GIVE IT TO ME OJ has shown a fair level of ability on the Flat this summer and, on his hurdles debut for a yard who are no strangers to success with horses of a similar profile, the son of Time Test gets the vote. Rogue King impressed when running out an easy winner over an extended 2m1f at Plumpton recently and it would be no surprise if he were to emerge as the main danger to the selection. Already a winner over hurdles, the unexposed Golden Path is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Give It To Me Oj 2nd Rogue King 3rd Golden Path

STREAM OF STARS returned from 986 days off the track to reward his patient connections with a smooth success over 2m3f here last month. Nigel Twiston-Davies' nine-year-old might have been let off lightly with only a 6lb rise for that victory and he could prove tough to beat. Enthused struck in commanding style in this grade at Plumpton last time and has to be respected, despite his 7lb penalty. Of the remainder, West To The Bridge makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Stream Of Stars 2nd Enthused 3rd West To The Bridge

Midnight Jewel made every yard of the running to score by a neck over C&D last month and he is expected to mount a bold bid off 4lb higher. However, he might come out second best to LORD OF CHESHIRE, who ran too bad to be true when finishing last at Kempton most recently. If the son of Diamond Boy can reproduce the level of form that he produced in his two starts at the back end of last year at Warwick and Haydock, he could be the one to beat. Duhallow Tommy can beat Jupiter Du Gite in the battle for third.
Prediction : 1st Lord Of Cheshire 2nd Midnight Jewel 3rd Duhallow Tommy

Although GREATNESS AWAITS has crept up in the handicap after three runner-up efforts since his victory at Newton Abbot in June, he still looks capable of scoring off his current rating. The reappearing Baddesley capped off last season with a victory over fences at Plumpton and he's not discounted reverting to the smaller obstacles, while Ted's Friend lurks on an attractive mark.
Prediction : 1st Greatness Awaits 2nd Baddesley 3rd Teds Friend

Having hit the frame on both hurdle outings to date, Kalif D'airy warrants consideration on his handicap/seasonal bow. An opening mark of 102 looks workable for the four-year-old and he isn't taken lightly. However, C&D winner MISS FEDORA outbattled a subsequent winner when regaining the winning thread at Cartmel in August and the Seamus Mullins-trained mare is the one to beat off a 5lb higher rating. Broughshane is also worth a glance in the betting on his entry into handicap company.
Prediction : 1st Miss Fedora 2nd Kalif Dairy 3rd Broughshane
