UK Horse Racing Tips: Huntingdon

MERMAIDS CAVE looks the one to beat if bouncing back to the form of her penultimate success at Fakenham when scoring easily off 7lb lower. Dropping back in grade looks like a good move, and she is preferred to Ile De Jersey, who has fallen to a workable mark. A progressive mare last summer, Callin Baton Rouge must be noted on her return to action, as well as Of Course You Can.
Prediction : 1st Mermaids Cave 2nd Ile De Jersey 3rd Callin Baton Rouge

A capable sort on the level for David O'Meara, KNIGHTS AFFAIR could be a useful recruit to the hurdling ranks in what looks like a winnable contest. The form of his new stable is a major plus, and the five-year-old may have too much for Les's Destiny Star, who is better than what he showed when returning from a year's absence at Warwick in March. Brooklyn Callin improved from first to second start when fifth here in a bumper last month, and could be one to progress again over timber.
Prediction : 1st Knights Affair 2nd Less Destiny Star 3rd Brooklyn Callin

A major disappointment when well beaten in a match race at Fakenham last time out, LOUD AND PROUD looks well capable of bouncing back to form off the same mark. Harry Derham's mare comfortably saw off the reopposing Ann D'arabie (second) when scoring over further at Doncaster in March, and she can uphold that form. Time For Tea looks to be the best of the remainder, having run creditably in recent starts over shorter.
Prediction : 1st Loud And Proud 2nd Ann Darabie 3rd Time For Tea

JACK THE SAVAGE produced another fair effort when taking the silver medal home over track and trip last time and the assessor may have been kind to only put him up 1lb. The eight-year-old may only need to run to a similar level in order to go one better. Presenting Yeats struck in ready style in this class at Stratford and if the nine-year-old can back that up, he is likely to be bang there. Zoffalee looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Jack The Savage 2nd Presenting Yeats 3rd Zoffalee

FLAMELCO made virtually every yard of the running to go in by over two lengths in this grade at Plumpton and a 5lb may underestimate the authority he showed that day. Sarah Humphrey's seven-year-old has a previous C&D victory to his name and can record another. Harel Du Marais failed to complete the hat-trick when running too free and finishing fourth at Wetherby, but could easily bounce back. Finest View is next best.
Prediction : 1st Flamelco 2nd Harel Du Marais 3rd Finest View

COASTAL COMMAND is a half-brother to useful bumper winner Sunshade and goes for the Nicky Henderson team. The son of Scorpion may be up to the task at the first time of asking, with his main threat possibly being St Jessica, who finished fifth in a Grade 2 at Aintree last month. Snatch A Glance is another to keep an eye on after his fourth at Taunton.
Prediction : 1st Coastal Command 2nd St Jessica 3rd Snatch A Glance
