UK Horse Racing Tips: Fontwell

The Secret Pearl got up in the shadows of the post at Market Rasen last month but although she is respected under the penalty, a chance can be taken on ELUSIVE FEELING. Ben Pauling's mare struggled in a Listed bumper on her racecourse bow in January, but switching to hurdles will suit and it wouldn't come as any great surprise were she to progress. Others to note include She Is For Me Boys and Golden Echo.
Prediction : 1st Elusive Feeling 2nd The Secret Pearl 3rd She Is For Me Boys

MOUNT OLYMPUS went agonisingly close in a maiden at Fakenham last time. Alan King's charge looks certain to relish today's extra yardage on that evidence and, from an opening handicap mark of 102, he is sure to have a big say in the outcome. Tom Lacey has his string in fine form so Light Dragoon needs to be taken seriously, despite the absence. Sambezi completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Mount Olympus 2nd Light Dragoon 3rd Sambezi

A confident vote goes to the Paul Nicholls-trained FORTUNATE FELLA, who hit the woodwork over C&D on his chasing debut last month. Ben Bromley can claim his full allocation here, meaning the five-year-old is essentially 1lb lower, and with improvement on the cards, this is a fine opportunity. Ceejaybe was half a length behind in third that day and must enter calculations, along with Rock On Rita, who should appreciate a drop in trip.
Prediction : 1st Fortunate Fella 2nd Ceejaybe 3rd Rock On Rita

DECORATED made every yard of the running to score in comfortable fashion over 2m3f here last month and is just 7lb higher. If the seven-year-old remains in similar form, he will prove very hard to beat. Super Sabre Sam had to settle for fifth over C&D on the same card, but is 1lb lower and may get closer. Of the remainder, Golden Ambition makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Decorated 2nd Super Sabre Sam 3rd Golden Ambition

ROCKS UP LATE was eased down to score on his chase/stable debut at Worcester last week and now has a 7lb penalty to carry. Considering the manner of his success, along with the potential for lots more to come, he could be the one to beat again. Fox Wallace, who is also penalised, emphatically recorded her first career success at Stratford and needs to be taken seriously. Hatos looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Rocks Up Late 2nd Fox Wallace 3rd Hatos

Point-to-point winner Hard Stare weakened out of contention on his first start under Rules at Newbury, but could easily take a step forward in a first-time tongue-tie. Even so, THE BOSS BEAR looks the more appealing option. The five-year-old shaped with promise to fill the runner-up spot on his debut at Huntingdon and, with normal progression, he will prove very tough to beat. Any market confidence behind Flying Pimpernel would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st The Boss Bear 2nd Hard Stare 3rd Flying Pimpernel
