UK Horse Racing Tips: Fontwell

AUTHENTIC LEGACY had Jubilant (third) a long way behind when occupying the runner-up berth over 2m at Fakenham last month and it's hard to see that form being overturned. The four-year-old should have more to offer on only his third start over hurdles and looks the one to beat. Gooloogong showed some ability to make the frame over C&D and he should give a good account.
Prediction : 1st Authentic Legacy 2nd Jubilant 3rd Gooloogong

WEST ORCHARD readily took care of his nearest rival by over nine lengths here last week and is only 8lb higher for that triumph. Joe Tizzard's seven-year-old shouldn't have any issues with the step back up in distance and can continue his fine form. Lightonthewing, who was a two-length victor at Newton Abbot two starts ago, was still going well when falling next time at the same venue and has to be respected. Joe Cotton can pick up any pieces.
Prediction : 1st West Orchard 2nd Lightonthewing 3rd Joe Cotton

Goodwin was well held on his chase debut at Aintree, but he was victorious in two of his four starts in novice company in this sphere and could easily bounce back. However, the vote goes to HECOULDBETHEONE, who recorded a double at this venue before being well beaten when sent off favourite in a stronger event at Market Rasen. The drop in grade and return to this track might see him put that performance well behind him. Kado De Joie completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Hecouldbetheone 2nd Goodwin 3rd Kado De Joie

Musical Slave returned to winning ways over 3m2f here last month and the handicapper might have been kind to only put him up 3lb for that victory. Even so, RIVER TYNE makes slightly more appeal. Nick Gifford's nine-year-old just prevailed by the smallest of margins at Plumpton on her latest outing and could improve on her first attempt over this longer trip. She can record a second course victory, while Whydah Gally is worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st River Tyne 2nd Musical Slave 3rd Whydah Gally

QUANTOCK HILLS only found a subsequent winner too good on his UK bow at Wetherby and he might take a big step forward from that effort. Warren Greatrex's juvenile sports a first-time hood and looks difficult to oppose against this level of opposition. Fine Point improved on his fourth at Sedgefield to fill the runner-up spot at Newcastle and he looks the main threat. Small Fry was a fair performer on the Flat and can fight it out for the minor honours on his debut in this sphere.
Prediction : 1st Quantock Hills 2nd Fine Point 3rd Small Fry

Despite pulling hard and jumping poorly in the main, ASK HER OUT did extremely well to run a career best over obstacles when second at Hereford. The slight drop in distance looks like a big plus and she may have too much for Gearing's Point, who is likely to appreciate going up in trip. Handicap debutant Sweet Caryline has strong claims if bouncing back to the form that saw her finish runner-up at Newton Abbot on her penultimate outing.
Prediction : 1st Ask Her Out 2nd Gearings Point 3rd Sweet Caryline

An easy winner over C&D in May when last in action, WHYNOTNOWROY could be a shrewd recruit to the Neil Mulholland stable and an 8lb rise for that success should be manageable. Mersey Street ran his best race for some time when second over 2m4f at Fakenham last month and he is a key player, along with the unexposed Getoverthathill, who could be a different proposition on his handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Whynotnowroy 2nd Mersey Street 3rd Getoverthathill
