UK Horse Racing Tips: Hereford

MR ZEE opened his account over hurdles with a cosy victory at Taunton last month. Michael Blake's charge had a subsequent winner back in third, so another bold bid looks on the cards on the strength of that form. Pooroldmackley makes a quick reappearance having won over fences on heavy ground at Newton Abbot just three days ago. He makes less appeal reverting to hurdling, and handicap debutant Zarhanya could prove a bigger threat with a conditional rider taking 10lb off her back.
Prediction : 1st Mr Zee 2nd Zarhanya 3rd Pooroldmackley

Doctor Love may well have finished closer than fourth at Ludlow if settling better in the early stages. He could be on the premises, but GOD OF FIRE is marginally preferred. A fair handicapper on the Flat with four wins to his name, the five-year-old made a promising debut over timber when runner-up at Plumpton and he should prove a more potent force with that experience under his belt. Jackstell makes most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st God Of Fire 2nd Doctor Love 3rd Jackstell

The highly progressive CAMINO ROCIO will likely prove hard to stop. The winner of five of his last six starts, he recorded his most impressive success so far when scoring easily at Huntingdon last month and is taken to defy a 10lb hike. A Definite Getaway faces a more difficult task than when successful at Exeter, but he ran out a convincing winner on that occasion and is not out of it. Kempton scorer Climbing will appreciate conditions on his return from a break.
Prediction : 1st Camino Rocio 2nd A Definite Getaway 3rd Climbing

EVERYONESACRITIC struck the woodwork when in search of his hat-trick over C&D last month. The winner has gone in again subsequently and Evan Williams' six-year-old looks set to mount a bold bid from an unchanged mark. Chestnut Pete was raised 7lb for a facile success over 2m here, but will be a player as long as he proves as effective over this longer trip. Greenrock Abbey is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Everyonesacritic 2nd Chestnut Pete 3rd Greenrock Abbey

Zhang Fei bolted up at Fakenham when last seen in December and he merits respect, as does Prolific Profile, who finished a creditable second at Kempton three weeks ago. Tapley has faced some stiff assignments so is not to be underestimated now afforded an ease in grade, but the vote goes to CORNISH STORM. Stuart Kittow's gelding has been in good form under both codes recently and, with scope for further progress, he could offer some value.
Prediction : 1st Cornish Storm 2nd Zhang Fei 3rd Prolific Profile

Point-to-point winner RACE TO BASE showed promise at Aintree on Boxing Day before progressing to fill the runner-up spot over this C&D. Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge sets a clear standard and any further improvement will make him difficult to beat. Nathaniel gelding No Panic makes some appeal on paper and market support would be noteworthy, while Emerald Time heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Race To Base 2nd No Panic 3rd Emerald Time
