UK Horse Racing Tips: Wetherby

Placed on all three three starts since scoring over C&D in December off 8lb lower, MISTER SMARTY has been a model of consistency this season and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to regain the winning thread. A determined winner at Huntingdon last time out for which he has been raised 3lb, Kingoftheswingerz can have a say, while V Twelve is respected after finishing a decent third at Newcastle last month.
Prediction : 1st Mister Smarty 2nd Kingoftheswingerz 3rd V Twelve

An impressive winner on his chase debut at Newcastle last month, BOIS GUILLBERT is likely to have plenty more improvement to come and he can follow up off a 7lb higher mark. Geryville was never travelling when well beaten over further at Carlisle last month, but he would have claims if bouncing back to the form of his success over this C&D on his penultimate outing. Micks Jet is another C&D winner who is likely to be suited by dropping back in trip.
Prediction : 1st Bois Guillbert 2nd Geryville 3rd Micks Jet

A half-sister to useful stablemate You Wear It Well, AUDACIOUS ANNIE may not have shown much in two starts over hurdles, but stepping up in trip looks like a good move for the six-year-old. She won here on her bumper debut in November 2023 and she may have too much for Parisian Fashion, who improved from his first to second start when third over C&D last time out. Ciakat and Realta Liath can also enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st Audacious Annie 2nd Parisian Fashion 3rd Realta Liath

FELICIE DU MAQUIS built on her sixth-placed reappearance at Chepstow in early February when landing the spoils over hurdles at Ludlow later that month. A 4lb higher mark now back over fences could prove to be lenient for the lightly-raced veteran and a brace may be on the cards. Although Grand Albert's jumping was exposed by subsequent Cheltenham Festival hero Myretown when finishing third at Kelso 32 days ago, he's feared most, ahead of Kelce.
Prediction : 1st Felicie Du Maquis 2nd Grand Albert 3rd Kelce

The unexposed JUKEBOX FURY gained a breakthrough victory when denying a subsequent scorer at Doncaster last month. A 5lb rise in the rating may still underestimate the six-year-old's ability and this looks a good opportunity for him to double his tally. The biggest threat may emerge from last-time-out runner-up Skiffle Man, who is a potential improver now stepping up further in trip. Wearapinkribbon is also worth a second look at the foot of the weights.
Prediction : 1st Jukebox Fury 2nd Skiffle Man 3rd Wearapinkribbon

Ballynoe Boy should have learned plenty from his debut second at Catterick in December, while White Riot displayed plenty of promise on his stable bow when runner-up at that same venue last month. However, THE MAD POET, a half-brother to useful dual-purpose performer Zalvados, possesses plenty of speed in his pedigree and the Dan Skelton-trained debutant could be worth taking a punt on.
Prediction : 1st The Mad Poet 2nd Ballynoe Boy 3rd White Riot
