UK Horse Racing Tips: Wincanton

LIGHTONTHEWING, Lock Out and I See The Sea all pulled up in a similar contest at Exeter on New Year's Day, but the former put that well behind him when springing a surprise at Chepstow. Admittedly, that upturn in fortunes coincided with a return to hurdles, but Sue Gardner's 10-year-old boasts a good strike-rate in this sphere and can prove it was no fluke. Lock Out has also taken a step back in the right direction, hitting the crossbar at Hereford, although Celtic Fortune might be the biggest threat.
Prediction : 1st Lightonthewing 2nd Celtic Fortune 3rd Lock Out

Paul Nicholls threw MISS ALTEA BLUE in at the deep end on her first start after arriving from France and she had to settle for a well-beaten fifth in a Newbury Listed affair. The four-year-old has been given plenty of time to recover from that British debut and can get back on track. Fellow juvenile Morning Air came up short at the same level at Doncaster, but her previous Leicester victory is evidence that she should be competitive in this lesser company. Blacksamssenorita is the pick of the older mares.
Prediction : 1st Miss Altea Blue 2nd Morning Air 3rd Blacksamssenorita

Dunstall Rambler accounted for Universal Secret over C&D before supplementing that triumph with another victory at Ludlow. Before that brace, though, he was beaten 10 lengths into fifth by PADDY IN THE CADDY at Hereford and Philip Hobbs & Johnson White's six-year-old, who has held his form well since, can confirm that superiority on only 4lb worse terms. Siam Park made a pleasing introduction to fences when runner-up at Taunton and there should be more to come from him.
Prediction : 1st Paddy In The Caddy 2nd Dunstall Rambler 3rd Siam Park

REGENT'S STROLL was a disappointing favourite when only fourth in the Challow at Newbury prior to his runner-up effort in Listed company at Exeter last month. However, each of those pieces of form stand out in this contest and he sets a very high standard with a rating of 134. The Sainted Canary improved on his debut fifth in this sphere when scoring over 1m7f here last time and he could have more to offer, with this step up in trip a possible source of improvement. Kantagua Du Large looks next best.
Prediction : 1st Regents Stroll 2nd The Sainted Canary 3rd Kantagua Du Large

SALADINS SON struck at the second time of asking over fences when a six-length victor over track and trip last month and he could have plenty of improvement in him. Anthony Honeyball's seven-year-old only has a 5lb higher mark to contend with and he looks the one to beat. Hudson De Grugy made the frame over 3m5f at Lingfield in January and will have no concerns with this drop in trip, so he has to be respected. Enjoy Your Life is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Saladins Son 2nd Hudson De Grugy 3rd Enjoy Your Life

JOLIE BAIE has looked a different horse since equipped with a tongue-tie (worn again today), building on her Huntingdon second when landing the spoils at Lingfield. Jo Davis' mare has a further 6lb rise to deal with, but she remains open to further improvement and is taken to complete the double. Drash On Ruby has placed on seven of her last eight starts and, with first-time cheekpieces added, she should be in the mix once again. Past C&D winner Jongleur D'etoiles also warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Jolie Baie 2nd Drash On Ruby 3rd Jongleur Detoiles

Just Aidan ploughed through the mud to win decisively at Lingfield and he merits consideration off a 7lb higher mark, while Gorcombe Moonshine has been running well enough in defeat to suggest that he can figure. The vote, however, goes to handicap debutant FEET ON THE GROUND. The Westerner mare has improved with each start in novice/maiden company, finishing third behind a couple of subsequent winners the last twice, and she could exploit an opening mark of 99.
Prediction : 1st Feet On The Ground 2nd Just Aidan 3rd Gorcombe Moonshine
