UK Horse Racing Tips: Wincanton

WALKADINA made the perfect start over hurdles at Uttoxeter before backing that performance up with a solid fourth in Listed company at Newbury. Despite giving 7lb to all of her rivals, this appears to be a suitable opportunity for David Pipe's mare before potentially stepping back up in grade. Jena D'oudairies won a Taunton bumper in the spring and is respected following wind surgery, while Blazeon Five was a useful performer on the level and would be very much of interest if transferring that ability to hurdling.
Prediction : 1st Walkadina 2nd Jena Doudairies 3rd Blazeon Five

There are clearly risks attached with ANOTHER DAY OUT, who refused to race at Leicester before producing an excellent round of jumping to score at Ludlow the following week. A replication of that performance after a 6lb rise would make the six-year-old tough to stop. Mighty Moth got no further than the first on her chasing bow at Kempton but is worth another chance, while Sainte Doctor is only 1lb higher than for her most recent win.
Prediction : 1st Another Day Out 2nd Mighty Moth 3rd Sainte Doctor

IOUPY COLLONGES is expected to have benefited from a recent outing at Doncaster, with the six-year-old remaining open to significant improvement as a staying chaser. He missed a good deal of last season due to a heart issue when pulled up at Chepstow before capping it off with a victory at Perth. He gets the vote at the expense of the hat-trick seeking Stans The Man, who only went up 3lb for his Doncaster success in November. Vision De Maine may also have more to offer on only his fourth start over fences.
Prediction : 1st Ioupy Collonges 2nd Stans The Man 3rd Vision De Maine

A step up in trip did the trick for recent 3m Cheltenham scorer LONG DRAW and he appears capable of more over staying distances. A 7lb rise in the ratings looks workable for Olly Murphy's progressive gelding and a third triumph over hurdles could be on the cards. Lord Accord arrives on the back of a fine second in the Badger Beer at Wincanton and he isn't taken lightly reverting to timber. Champion Flat jockey Oisin Murphy catches the eye on board Ike Sport.
Prediction : 1st Long Draw 2nd Lord Accord 3rd Ike Sport

Winning pointer KING ARISE has proven far more competitive since debuting over fences with a second-placed effort at Ayr last month. The seven-year-old ran out an easy winner over C&D last week and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him from completing a quickfire double. Paddy In The Caddy races off the same mark as his recent close-up second at Hereford and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Bentley's Return.
Prediction : 1st King Arise 2nd Paddy In The Caddy 3rd Bentleys Return

Walk On High made a promising handicap bow when a never-nearer second over C&D last week and must enter the reckoning off an unchanged mark. However, it could be worth taking a punt on DOUBLE DRAGON building on his fourth-placed reappearance over track and trip. Anthony Honeyball's charge may have found softer ground conditions against him that day and can resume last spring's progression. Lumi Plugin and Byzantium are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Double Dragon 2nd Walk On High 3rd Lumi Plugin
