UK Horse Racing Tips: Fakenham

Having made it no further than the second flight when unseating his rider on his hurdles bow at Stratford recently, three-time bumper winner Ronnies Rules will need to jump with more fluency. Dan Skelton's gelding is likely to be in the mix if doing so, but useful Flat performer CHARGING THUNDER makes more appeal. The six-year-old won't be found lacking for stamina on his opening bid in this discipline and he looks just the type his trainer excels with. Tarbaan makes most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Charging Thunder 2nd Ronnies Rules 3rd Tarbaan

Although headed in the dying strides on his Rules bow when runner-up in an Aintree bumper in May, winning point-to-pointer MIAMI MAGIC impressed with how he travelled. This sharp track is sure to suit Stuart Edmunds' charge and the five-year-old is taken to make a winning hurdles debut. The biggest threat is Kilbarry Hill, who is likely to enjoy another go at this 2m4f distance. D'jo Dela Barriere may chase the pair home.
Prediction : 1st Miami Magic 2nd Kilbarry Hill 3rd Djo Dela Barriere

Chase debutant Call Blue is likely to prove popular given the yard's red-hot form and she must enter calculations with James Turner claiming a handy 7lb. However, JEUNE BELLE appeals as more of a chasing type on her opening bid over the larger obstacles. A mark of 108 looks workable for Lucy Wadham's mare and she is bred to excel in this sphere. C&D winner Omaha Wish has the ability to figure as well.
Prediction : 1st Jeune Belle 2nd Call Blue 3rd Omaha Wish

Now three from three for her current stable, CALLIN BATON ROUGE impressed when bringing up the hat-trick over an extended 2m at Stratford last month and she gets the vote to go in again despite a 12lb hike. Honneur D'Ajonc took advantage of a sliding mark when returning to winning ways over an extended 2m1f at Fontwell latest, and he is feared most upped 6lb, while Toonagh Warrior also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Callin Baton Rouge 2nd Honneur DAjonc 3rd Toonagh Warrior

MELTON MOSSY looked an improving sort during the summer months and, although he was well beaten at Newton Abbot last time, this represents an ease in grade for the Evan Williams-trained gelding and he gets the vote to get back on track. Bahtiyar wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth over 3m2f at Fontwell last month and is the main danger back over a more suitable distance. Macari is also considered returning to hurdles after a spell on the Flat, while Double Powerful is on a five-timer after winning at Worcester on Wednesday and he would every chance if turned out quickly again.
Prediction : 1st Melton Mossy 2nd Bahtiyar 3rd Macari

Pearly Island bumped into a useful chaser when finishing a staying-on second over 2m4f at Huntingdon when last seen in April, and he commands the utmost respect off the same mark on his return. That said, with match-fitness on his side, it may pay to side with NICKELFORCE. He impressed when scoring comfortably over an extended 2m6f at Stratford last month and, upped 6lb, he looks the one to side with. Awesome Foursome is respected most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Nickelforce 2nd Pearly Island 3rd Awesome Foursome
