UK Horse Racing Tips: Fakenham

A comfortable winner over C&D on New Year's Day, MALAGO ROSE is an appealing option in her bid to follow up off just 6lb higher. The very capable Harriet Tucker takes over from Freddie Mitchell in the saddle and her 7lb claim helps. Awesome Foursome and De Vega's Warrior have been knocking on the door of late and can make this a good test for the selection.
Prediction : 1st Malago Rose 2nd Awesome Foursome 3rd De Vegas Warrior

KALIF D'AIRY wasn't beaten far when second under Caoilin Quinn in a similar event over 2m3f at Fontwell on Boxing Day and may be able to go one place better with this drop in trip likely to be beneficial. Runaway Train was a well-held fourth in that race and would need a big step forward to reverse the form. With that in mind, Character Testing may pose a bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Kalif Dairy 2nd Character Testing 3rd Runaway Train

Cases can be made for several of these but perhaps the well-handicapped SHAW'S CROSS, who runs off 9lb lower than his last winning mark, could be the answer. A respectable second and clear of the rest at Plumpton most recently, the veteran still retains plenty of enthusiasm for the game. Jack Doyen has winning form over this trip and rates the chief threat, ahead of Supasunrise and Mortens Leam.
Prediction : 1st Shaws Cross 2nd Jack Doyen 3rd Supasunrise

MOHAWK CHIEF caught the eye when finishing a never-nearer second over 2m here on New Year's Day and a return to 2m4f may prove fruitful. Although the five-year-old will need to jump with more fluency, a race of this nature looks well within his compass. The 115-rated Aviation sets a good standard and Lucy Wadham's charge isn't taken lightly, while market support for point-to-point winner Dwight K Schrute would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Mohawk Chief 2nd Aviation 3rd Dwight K Schrute

Star Walking opened her account in this discipline at the second time of asking when digging deep at Wincanton last month. However, an opening mark of 113 does demand more of Harry Fry's mare and the experienced SUNDAY SOLDIER is more appealing. The daughter of Shantou was far from disgraced when second on her chase bow at Exeter 31 days ago and she looks capable of regaining the winning thread reverting to hurdles. Greyval and Lindy Reilly are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Sunday Soldier 2nd Star Walking 3rd Lindy Reilly

TELEPATHIQUE hasn't looked back since her chasing debut success over C&D in October, as she recorded another win at Warwick and backed that up by finishing second in Listed company at the same venue. A wind operation did the trick for Gazette Bourgeoise here on New Year's Day and she enters calculations off a 7lb higher mark. Others for the shortlist include So Said I and Getbazoutofhere.
Prediction : 1st Telepathique 2nd Gazette Bourgeoise 3rd So Said I

EDWARD SEXTON was just denied on his racecourse bow at Sandown in November by a stable companion and the five-year-old wouldn't need to find much improvement in order to go one better. Jager Time was down the field in a Cheltenham bumper in October but is capable of better with his sights lowered. Newcomers Seaview Rock and Spectacularsunrise represent top stables and are worth a market check.
Prediction : 1st Edward Sexton 2nd Jager Time 3rd Seaview Rock
