UK Horse Racing Tips: Fontwell

A confident vote goes to TWIST OF FATECATCH, who shaped with considerable promise when filling the runner-up berth on his hurdling bow over C&D last month. He wouldn't need to improve much on that display in a race lacking depth, although the 104-rated Maillot Vert could offer the most resistance, despite falling at Uttoxeter on his British hurdles debut. Master Dunraven needs to improve, but he was a fair performer on the level and should not be written off.
Prediction : 1st Twist Of Fatecatch 2nd Maillot Vert 3rd Master Dunraven

NOLLYADOR disappointed when sent off as favourite at Market Rasen last time, having been on target at Hereford two starts ago. Emma Lavelle's charge had excuses that day, though, and switched to fences for the first time, which is likely to suit, it would come as no surprise were he to bounce back. Korus continues to run well in defeat and is unlikely to be far away, along with All Authorized, who can fare better than a higher level he contested at Newbury in February.
Prediction : 1st Nollyador 2nd Korus 3rd All Authorized

STAFF SERGEANT LEN didn't quite see out the extended 2m3f at Hereford last time out, when second to an improver. A 3lb rise doesn't look harsh on that evidence and should a drop in trip play to his strengths, the low mileage five-year-old ought to be capable of better. Wasthatok was a creditable third from this mark at Ffos Las three weeks ago and he shouldn't be far away under similar conditions, although Diesel Line could be the bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Staff Sergeant Len 2nd Diesel Line 3rd Wasthatok

Honneur D'Ajonc won a selling hurdle at Stratford and a return to a handicap shouldn't hamper him in terms of being competitive. That said, he may prove vulnerable to a less-exposed rival in the shape of CAUVICOURT. Henrietta Knight's gelding has shaped well on both starts to date over hurdles, in particular when runner-up to a useful novice over C&D in January, and has a decent opportunity to strike on his handicap bow. Kalif D'airy and Baltray could get involved too.
Prediction : 1st Cauvicourt 2nd Honneur DAjonc 3rd Kalif Dairy

Ivane has clearly benefited from a switch to James Owen and built on his second here by going one better at Southwell. The return to fences is unlikely to pose any concerns in his current vein of form, although recent course winner FINE INVESTMENT might have his measure. The drop back in trip is unlikely to be an inconvenience, having travelled strongly on that occasion, and a 3lb rise seems more than fair. Extraordinary Man is entitled to be in the mix judged on his recent third at Southwell.
Prediction : 1st Fine Investment 2nd Ivane 3rd Extraordinary Man

Bluenose Belle is an interesting contender making her handicap debut and may be the one to serve it up to BOBBIGREY. Jennie Candlish's mare was disappointing at Leicester in November, but she has been given plenty of time to recover and is worth another chance to strike. Arenas Del Tiempo raced too keenly at Plumpton last weekend but she can't be written off yet, especially now back on a flatter track.
Prediction : 1st Bobbigrey 2nd Bluenose Belle 3rd Arenas Del Tiempo
