UK Horse Racing Tips: Hereford

LELOOPA finished over four lengths clear of the third when hitting the crossbar at Newton Abbot last month and she sets the standard with a rating of 107. Fergal O'Brien's four-year-old might only need to reproduce that effort in order to go one better. Versace Twentyone finished fourth behind the selection on her latest outing and she might be able to get closer on only her second start over hurdles, while A Little Something is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Leloopa 2nd Versace Twentyone 3rd A Little Something

HENRY BOX BROWN accounted for his nearest rival by just under four lengths in this grade at Worcester in August and he was given a 9lb rise for that triumph. Evan Williams' seven-year-old has lots in his favour and could prove tough to beat. Moodofthemoment has taken the silver medal home on each of his three starts for the Matt Sheppard stable and should go well, along with Post No Bills.
Prediction : 1st Henry Box Brown 2nd Moodofthemoment 3rd Post No Bills

A chance can be taken on CREST OF HONOUR, who changed hands for 29,000 euros and is related to plenty of winners. Jane Williams' three-year-old wouldn't have to be anything out of the ordinary in order to make a winning debut in this contest. Aotano goes in a tongue-tie on his racecourse debut and he would be of interest if the market speaks in his favour, along with fellow newcomer Lenjoleur De Palma.
Prediction : 1st Crest Of Honour 2nd Aotano 3rd Lenjoleur De Palma

Having posted a close-up third on his handicap bow over an extended 2m at Market Rasen in July, compensation could be heading in BASKERVILLE's direction. Alan King's gelding is bred to relish this extended 2m5f distance and a second victory of the season may beckon. Galata Bridge was disappointing when a well-beaten fourth at Worcester in August, but better is expected dropping into class 4 company. The seven-year-old is feared most, ahead of Sambezi.
Prediction : 1st Baskerville 2nd Galata Bridge 3rd Sambezi

Although pulled up on her outing at Southwell in June, ANNIE WICKS had been progressive before that disappointment. Evan Williams' mare had previously posted a solid second over C&D and she can get back on track returning to a right-handed course. Invictus Allen is another who should have more to come over fences and the six-year-old is also forecast to feature. Chase debutant Selectivelistening is up markedly in distance and he may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Annie Wicks 2nd Invictus Allen 3rd Selectivelistening

WOT YOU WEARING was likely feeling the effects of a long campaign when finishing in seventh at Kempton on February and he may be able to resume his progress on the back of a 248-day layoff. Robert Stephens' gelding was unlucky to bump into the rapidly-improving Gyllen on two occasions last season and he is marginally preferred to Craven Bay, who made a winning stable debut at Warwick last month. Honey I'm Good completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Wot You Wearing 2nd Craven Bay 3rd Honey Im Good

Fenney Brook is back for more after winning this last year for Katy Price, but she has raced eight times since without success and looks up against it now. Apples Moon looked much improved when winning at Warwick last month and she could prove the biggest danger to top-weight EDE'IFFS ROCK. Dropped 1lb for her first start of the season when fourth at Fontwell, her last win was off just 2lb higher in January and she is entitled to step forward from that recent effort.
Prediction : 1st Edeiffs Rock 2nd Apples Moon 3rd Fenney Brook

Kentford Mallard is an interesting alternative having won here before over further and, with the ground also suitable, she can go well at the age of 11. Leave Her To Me steps up in trip after a win at Uttoxeter and a Stratford third, but she has to give 15lb to the improving PACIFIC which looks a big ask. Only beaten a neck at Stratford in June, she may well get off the mark if ready to roll.
Prediction : 1st Pacific 2nd Leave Her To Me 3rd Kentford Mallard
