UK Horse Racing Tips: Newton Abbot

A comfortable winner of a bumper here over shorter last month, THREE PIKES looks the one to be with on his hurdles debut. This being only his second start for new connections, the five-year-old is preferred to Roadshow, who was badly hampered and unseated before three out in handicap company here on his most recent outing. Old Bridge and Flat recruit Ensured are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Three Pikes 2nd Roadshow 3rd Old Bridge

CENTARA could not have done it any easier when disposing of Magistrato over C&D last month, and an 11lb pull in the weights for the runner-up may not be enough to see him overturn the form. Paul Nicholls' charge is taken to land the hat-trick, with Jet Of Dreams a danger if building upon a strong runner-up effort at Worcester recently.
Prediction : 1st Centara 2nd Jet Of Dreams 3rd Magistrato

Narrowly denied over C&D in his bid to land the hat-trick, GET THE VALUE can gain compensation on the drop in grade off just a 2lb higher mark. That may be at the main expense of Max Of Stars, who impressed when making all over track and trip, for which he has been raised 4lb. Unexposed and two from three in this sphere since joining Tom Lacey, Howth is expected to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Get The Value 2nd Max Of Stars 3rd Howth

Sean Bowen's persistence reaped dividends when STILETTO responded kindly to secure victory over C&D last month. A 6lb higher mark looks very manageable as the retained partnership bids to follow up. Sassified has a good course record and went up by the same amount after he triumphed over shorter here a month ago. Gore Point and Culligran complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Stiletto 2nd Sassified 3rd Gore Point

This should be competitive, despite the low turnout. GREAT D'ANGE is suggested as the first one to consider after a close second over C&D and a literal reading of that form gives the Barry Brennan-trained gelding an edge over The Dream Goes On. With first-time blinkers needing to revive Mister Upton, top-weight Time To Bite could be the best alternative.
Prediction : 1st Great DAnge 2nd The Dream Goes On 3rd Time To Bite

QUEEN KATE was the convincing winner of a Doncaster bumper before posting a cracking fourth-placed finish in a Grade 2 at Aintree. Those performances are hard to overlook and this appears to be a good opportunity for Mickey Bowen's mare to enhance her profile. Based on the form of her first two starts, What A Peach would need a big step forward to overhaul the selection. With that in mind, well-related newcomer Lady Kara may be the one for the forecast slot.
Prediction : 1st Queen Kate 2nd Lady Kara 3rd What A Peach
