UK Horse Racing Tips: Fontwell

The Chris Gordon-trained GETOVERTHATHILL bolted up over an extended 2m5f here on his handicap bow last month and should a drop in trip fail to inconvenience him, the 9lb rise incurred for that success does not look insurmountable. That said, Runaway Train has a similar profile to the selection and is interesting stepped up in trip. Motazzen heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Getoverthathill 2nd Runaway Train 3rd Motazzen

KALIUM appeared to bump into one at Ludlow in October and Tim Vaughan's gelding made no mistake at Wetherby last month. He is fancied to defy the penalty en route to further success. Andashan didn't make it past the first hurdle at Plumpton recently having been sent off a warm favourite but he remains of interest, while Malinificent, who showed promise on his hurdling bow at Leicester three weeks ago, is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Kalium 2nd Andashan 3rd Malinificent

Koenigsstern has produced a similar level of form on both of his starts over fences and must be respected with the potential of more to come, but GORCOMBE MOONSHINE is preferred. 1lb out of the handicap when landing the corresponding event 12 months ago, he has an added 1lb to contend with but that is unlikely to prevent a bold bid. Valirann Gold, who chased him home for second last year, can be hot on his heels once again.
Prediction : 1st Gorcombe Moonshine 2nd Koenigsstern 3rd Valirann Gold

GALACTIC CHARM lost little in defeat when finding only a progressive rival too strong on his hurdles bow at Sandown 20 days ago. The Gary & Josh Moore-trained gelding looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to open his account in this sphere and is likely to prove a warm order. Roi De Baviere is heading in the right direction judged on his latest second at Leicester and is feared most, ahead of El Gavilan.
Prediction : 1st Galactic Charm 2nd Roi De Baviere 3rd El Gavilan

First-time cheekpieces proved just the tonic for SPIKE JONES when making a winning return at Lingfield last month. A 2lb nudge up in the ratings looks more than workable and a sixth career victory could be in the offing. Market support for the hat-trick seeking Shutupshirley would be interesting on his belated comeback, while winning pointer Hidden History catches the eye up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Spike Jones 2nd Shutupshirley 3rd Hidden History

INSTANT GAMBLER's winning spree came to an end at Fakenham, but three of his four previous victories came over this C&D and the form of that latest third has been boosted since so he is fancied to maintain his unblemished Fontwell record. Captain Claude took this prize home 12 months ago and should make a bold defence of his crown, for all that he hasn't managed to get his head in front since and is 5lb higher. River Tyne found the Southern National all too much, but was in fine form prior to it.
Prediction : 1st Instant Gambler 2nd Captain Claude 3rd River Tyne

Edward Sexton produced a debut full of promise when making a better-fancied stablemate pull out all the stops at Sandown and a bumper should be a formality. However, GENTLEMAN TOBOOT made a striking impression on his sole appearance between the flags and offered plenty of encouragement when third at Newton Abbot on his first start under Rules. He was just behind a subsequent Listed winner there and that earns him the vote. Desert Guest was fancied to perform better than he did at Hereford and can't be written off yet.
Prediction : 1st Gentleman Toboot 2nd Edward Sexton 3rd Desert Guest
