UK Horse Racing Tips: Huntingdon

Nachtgeist hasn't cut much ice in two Flat starts for this yard but, making his hurdles bow for a team which tends to excel with their four-year-old recruits, he must enter calculations. That said, preference is for SAILED AWAY. Stuart Edmunds' charge was last seen making all over C&D in March and, off a 3lb higher mark, another bold bid is anticipated on his return to action. My Friend Sean is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Sailed Away 2nd Nachtgeist 3rd My Friend Sean

MRS TABITHA wasn't seen to best effect when finishing fourth over an extended 2m4f at Southwell in June but, making her first start since undergoing wind surgery off an unchanged mark, she looks the one to side with. Recent winner on the Flat in Jersey, No Worries commands respect reverting to hurdles, while better can be expected from Diva B on her handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Mrs Tabitha 2nd No Worries 3rd Diva B

BALLYTECHNO caught the eye when staying on into second over 2m at Worcester on his hurdling debut last month and, stepping up in trip, he can go one place better this time around. Recoded showed some useful form for his previous yard and can emerge as the main danger to the selection on his debut for the Harry Derham stable, while Killarney bumper winner The Gray Ghost is also noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Ballytechno 2nd Recoded 3rd The Gray Ghost

The Donald McCain stable has been going well of late and this appeals as a decent opportunity for CARTONNE on his first run since a creditable second over further at Hereford in May. A winner twice last winter on good and soft ground, the seven-year-old may have too much for the capable Abingworth, as well as Mix Of Clover, who brings good recent form to the table after scoring at Bangor last month.
Prediction : 1st Cartonne 2nd Abingworth 3rd Mix Of Clover

STANS THE MAN always looked to be in control when holding off the reopposing Clararose (second) over further at Warwick last month and, despite being 1lb worse off at the weights with Dan Skelton's charge, he is taken to follow up for a fourth career success. A winner of two of his last three starts, Kitesurfer must enter calculations, along with handicap debutant Fortified Fortune, who steps up markedly in trip.
Prediction : 1st Stans The Man 2nd Kitesurfer 3rd Fortified Fortune

Call Me Arthur won when last seen over hurdles at Southwell in May and has to be of interest, but the 139-day break is a concern. With that in mind, preference is for GETUPEARLY, who has made the frame off this mark the last twice and that includes a second at Fontwell two weeks ago. She Has Notions disappointed when last seen but it is far too soon to be writing him off.
Prediction : 1st Getupearly 2nd Call Me Arthur 3rd She Has Notions

The market will be key with no form to go on, but the combination of Harry Cobden and George Boughey make CADARN of interest. Related to some smart types on the Flat, the son of Magna Grecia just gets the vote ahead of Andrew Balding's Crystabel. Others who merit places on the shortlist are Playaway Girl, Laura Lou and Lion Hill.
Prediction : 1st Cadarn 2nd Crystabel 3rd Playaway Girl
