UK Horse Racing Tips: Fakenham

Olly Murphy's yard remains in fine form and FOR PLEASURE looks to have solid claims after finishing fourth at Plumpton. Likely to improve on this second start after wind surgery, the front-runner may prove difficult to beat if allowed to set his own pace at the head of affairs. Magistrato has been in the mix over fences lately, including a respectable second at Aintree last time, and reverts to hurdling with every chance, while Sanitiser escapes a penalty for winning a conditionals race at Kempton and is not easily dismissed.
Prediction : 1st For Pleasure 2nd Magistrato 3rd Sanitiser

LASER FOCUS won a conditionals hurdle at Huntingdon a week ago with any amount in hand. Unpenalised for that success, the six-year-old will likely start a warm order to land a quick double before the handicapper has his say. Little Talks finished third over course and distance during the summer and can make her presence felt with the likely fast ground in her favour, while Bahtiyar may fare better in this lower grade.
Prediction : 1st Laser Focus 2nd Little Talks 3rd Bahtiyar

CLUAIN AODHA finished an admirable third at Uttoxeter on her chasing debut considering that was her first outing of the year. There should be plenty more to come from Neil King's mare over the larger obstacles and a bold bid is anticipated. Our Bill's Aunt ran well for third at Huntingdon back in May and is another with scope over fences, while Micronormous is potentially well treated on her chasing bow based on a placed effort over hurdles at Worcester in September.
Prediction : 1st Cluain Aodha 2nd Our Bills Aunt 3rd Micronormous

A half-sister to recent bumper winner Fresh Perspective, BLOSSOM TEA may be able to follow suit on his Rules debut for connections that know what it takes when it comes to juvenile hurdlers. By a sire in Sea The Moon that has had success over the sticks in recent years, Madame Luna could go close for shrewd connections, while Harthope is another to monitor for market support.
Prediction : 1st Blossom Tea 2nd Madame Luna 3rd Harthope

SECRET DES DIEUX didn't show much on his hurdles debut at Huntingdon in May, but he is better judged on a career-best effort when second in a Uttoxeter bumper over this distance on his penultimate outing. The form of his stable is a big plus and he can get off the mark at the main expense of Gordon Grey, who has done well on the Flat this year. Now in the hands of new connections, Milan Milos is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Secret Des Dieux 2nd Gordon Grey 3rd Milan Milos

Now that the penny has dropped for LUNAR CONTACT after a comfortable success over C&D last month, the six-year-old is likely to have plenty more to come and he can follow up off 4lb higher. Awesome Foursome (fourth) has nearly seven lengths to make up with the selection from that contest, but he should also come on for what was his first run since June, while Firefly Lane looks to build upon a determined success over shorter at Newton Abbot in September.
Prediction : 1st Lunar Contact 2nd Awesome Foursome 3rd Firefly Lane
