UK Horse Racing Tips: Hereford

Despite running from 2lb out of the handicap, CHESTNUT PETE looks the safest option. He had three subsequent winners behind when winning by 11 lengths over C&D two starts ago and certainly wasn't disgraced when third over 2m5f here subsequently. Back down in trip, he makes slightly more appeal than Williethebuilder, who was a disappointing favourite on his only previous chase outing over this C&D, and the first-time tongue-tied Centara.
Prediction : 1st Chestnut Pete 2nd Williethebuilder 3rd Centara

This represents a great opportunity for GOLDEN DE COEUR to finally open his Rules account. He lost little in defeat when a neck second over 2m here last time and is rated 8lb above his only realistic danger, Don Virginia. The latter went close over C&D on his latest outing and will be waiting to pounce should the selection slip. Chanelle Noir could win what will likely be a separate battle for the remaining podium spot.
Prediction : 1st Golden De Coeur 2nd Don Virginia 3rd Chanelle Noir

MUSIQUE DE FEE has done nothing but improve this year, with the addition of cheekpieces possibly having a big impact, and she looks capable of giving weight and a beating to these rivals. Could Be Trouble won nicely at a similar level at Haydock prior to being upped in class at Cheltenham and rates the biggest threat back down in grade. Kazontherazz might have to settle for a bronze medal for the third race in a row.
Prediction : 1st Musique De Fee 2nd Could Be Trouble 3rd Kazontherazz

The Gypsy Davey prevailed by a neck when scoring over C&D last month. Raised only 2lb, he can feature once again but THE DREAM GOES ON may prove too strong. She fell three fences from home when looking all set to make a serious challenge at Market Rasen and the six-year-old is fancied to resume winning ways with a clear round. Do Your Job is preferred to Lieutenant Command of the remaining pair.
Prediction : 1st The Dream Goes On 2nd The Gypsy Davey 3rd Do Your Job

MACTAVISH was upped in class and distance when fourth at Ludlow last time. Matt Sheppard's charge had found only one too good over track and trip before that and another bold bid looks assured off the same mark. Runner-up over these hurdles on his latest start, Captain Attridge will likely have a say in proceedings over this longer distance, while Moonshine Man could bounce back if a first-time tongue strap has the desired effect.
Prediction : 1st Mactavish 2nd Captain Attridge 3rd Moonshine Man

REWIRED looks worthy of another chance after finishing third at Hexham. That form looks better in hindsight, given the runner-up has subsequently won, and there was plenty to like about the seven-year-old's victory at Newcastle in March. Man Of The Sea may emerge as the main threat, despite dropping down in distance on the back of a second at Taunton. Rascallion could also get involved.
Prediction : 1st Rewired 2nd Man Of The Sea 3rd Rascallion
