UK Horse Racing Tips: Fakenham

ZAFAAN sets the standard with an official rating on 106 and two solid third-placed efforts, the latest coming over C&D, and he appears to have been found a great opportunity to open his account. Dinofromberlais unseated his rider early on at Huntingdon, but previously shaped encouragingly on his hurdling bow at Southwell. He rates the biggest threat ahead of Crown Of India, who has a chance on his Market Rasen effort.
Prediction : 1st Zafaan 2nd Dinofromberlais 3rd Crown Of India

TAXUS BACCATA made the perfect start to her chasing career when dotting up over an extended 2m3f at Plumpton on Monday and, providing this doesn't come too soon, she can follow up under a 7lb penalty. It's Easy looks the only realistic danger following her victory at Leicester a month ago. The other pair run from out of the handicap, but Call Blue can beat Rock On Rita to third.
Prediction : 1st Taxus Baccata 2nd Its Easy 3rd Call Blue

JACKPOT CASH comfortably accounted for a subsequent winner on his latest hurdles start at Southwell and backed that up with a solid placed effort over fences at Bangor. The six-year-old has a lot more to give, certainly in this sphere, and he can get the better of Getoverthathill, who won well at Fontwell two starts ago. Bobby's Fortune might fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Jackpot Cash 2nd Getoverthathill 3rd Bobbys Fortune

Having only been collared in the dying strides at Plumpton last month, LITTLE SOIREE looks a winner in waiting at this level. Chris Gordon's mare makes plenty of appeal racing off an unchanged mark and a breakthrough victory could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from Remarkable Flight, who returned to form with a respectable second in her first handicap over hurdles at Southwell. Arenas Del Tiempo is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Little Soiree 2nd Remarkable Flight 3rd Arenas Del Tiempo

For Pleasure regained the winning thread at Haydock in December and a subsequent spin on the Flat when third at Southwell should have kept him warmed up for another bold showing. However, a 4lb higher mark in this sphere does demand more from Olly Murphy's veteran and BLUEGRASS is slightly more compelling. The six-year-old arrives on the back of a close-up second at Doncaster and a 2lb nudge up the ratings may prove inconsequential. Casi Crudo is also noted up in class.
Prediction : 1st Bluegrass 2nd For Pleasure 3rd Casi Crudo

Although JANIKA was pulled up in last year's renewal, he faces a much easier assignment this time round. The 12-year-old arrives on the back of a point-to-point victory, and a seventh success under Rules is on the cards. Go Go Geronimo wasn't disgraced when finishing third in the Champion Novices' Hunters' Chase at Stratford last May and a reproduction of recent efforts between the flags should see him involved. Amenon can chase them home.
Prediction : 1st Janika 2nd Go Go Geronimo 3rd Amenon
