UK Horse Racing Tips: Fakenham

ANNEXATION arrives following a couple of solid performances on the level and is the highest rated in this line-up with an official hurdles rating of 129. Tony Carroll's appears to have found an excellent opportunity for his gelding and in a race lacking depth, he can come out on top. Collingham defeated Honneur D'Ajonc (second) in a similar contest at Catterick in March and is expected to confirm his superiority, while Figaroc should not be overlooked.
Prediction : 1st Annexation 2nd Collingham 3rd Figaroc

Miss Fedora cruised to success from 7lb lower at Plumpton last month before struggling when 4lb out of the handicap in a class 4 event next time. She'll appreciate an ease in grade and being able to compete from her proper mark though, but it is KATE MADRIK that gets the vote. Mickey Bowen's charge has yet to shine on her two UK appearances, but she was a dual chase winner when trained in France so returning to the larger obstacles might spark a return to form. Generous Scorpion heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Kate Madrik 2nd Miss Fedora 3rd Generous Scorpion

CLAIM DU BRIZAIS opened her account in a bumper here last month but Dan Skelton's mare, who changed hands for 130,000 pounds at the sales last March, should be even better over an obstacle and she's expected to take all the beating. Red Panda holds an official rating of 96 and if running to similar level she could claim second place, while Back In The Bay looks best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Claim Du Brizais 2nd Red Panda 3rd Back In The Bay

Market House has been in good form on the Flat and should have a big say revering to hurdles at this level. However, his past exploits in this discipline for a previous yard were quite inauspicious and he wouldn't be one for maximum faith. On the other hand, LENJOLEUR DE PALMA is a lightly-raced four-year-old with plenty of scope for progression and is a more intriguing option on just his second start in a handicap. Dartmouth Rose completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Lenjoleur De Palma 2nd Market House 3rd Dartmouth Rose

Le Milos has already won a similar race this year and should go well from just 1lb higher. Tommie Beau also looks a key player as he takes a significant drop in class. However, this can go the way of GLYNN, who had over seven lengths in hand over Le Milos on his most recent start at Haydock and can confirm the form, despite his old rival holding a 1lb pull at the weights.
Prediction : 1st Glynn 2nd Le Milos 3rd Tommie Beau

FEVER DREAM returned after wind surgery with a very cosy win over an extended 3m at Southwell last month and has a decent chance of supplementing that ready success with the step up in trip a potential source for further improvement. Fern Hill has placed form over C&D and is a strong contender to at least make the frame again. Fellow last-time out winners Ali Star Bert and Chemical Warfare are the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Fever Dream 2nd Fern Hill 3rd Ali Star Bert
