UK Horse Racing Tips: Newton Abbot

This race could turn tactical, and if that is the case then SERGEANT FURY may make all. The winner of both starts this season at Huntingdon and Stratford, he likes to set the pace and looks likely to be left alone throughout. Gore Point has to be noted after his win here last week, while Bobby's Fortune would have a strong chance if taking up this engagement.
Prediction : 1st Sergeant Fury 2nd Gore Point 3rd Bobbys Fortune

Lord intrigues on his first start over hurdles after finishing second on the Flat at Leipzig and he can go well for Olly Murphy. Manyana Blue should find some improvement after her C&D third, but Irish raider DIGNAM could be the one. A winner on the Flat for Joseph O'Brien and fifth in a Curragh handicap last month, if he takes to hurdles he really ought to outclass these opponents.
Prediction : 1st Dignam 2nd Lord 3rd Manyana Blue

Backinaction showed plenty of improvement to stroll home by 18 lengths at Stratford last week and although he has to carry a 7lb penalty here, Evan Williams' gelding seems likely to go up by more than that when reassessed. He may prove the biggest danger to MY GIRL KATIE, who has to carry 1lb more than her official mark but is on the back of an easy C&D win in a similar race. Great D'Ange might be booked for third if he bounces back to his best.
Prediction : 1st My Girl Katie 2nd Backinaction 3rd Great DAnge

Compensation could be on the cards for the recent C&D runner-up SASSIFIED. The seven-year-old went down by only a neck and, off an unchanged mark, another bold bid is forecast. Triple-track winner Karannelle finished behind the selection when fourth here in June, but isn't taken lightly off a lower mark. David Rees' mare is feared most, ahead of Square Du Roule.
Prediction : 1st Sassified 2nd Karannelle 3rd Square Du Roule

SPITALFIELD did little wrong when finding only a subsequent winner too strong over track and trip last time out and looks the one to beat. A 4lb rise for the son of Mahler is negated by Benjamin Macey's 7lb claim and a second career victory could be on the cards. Impecunious finished behind the same rival that beat the selection when a close second over 2m5f here two weeks ago. The six-year-old is a live threat if seeing out this rise in distance, with Dear Ralphy pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Spitalfield 2nd Impecunious 3rd Dear Ralphy

La Quarite arrives on the back of a solid second over 3m at Market Rasen and he must enter calculations on the drop in distance. However, MERSEY STREET returned to form with a respectable third on his chase bow at Worcester earlier in the month and any improvement might see the seven-year-old capitalise. Imperial Measure could have a say if brushing up his jumping too.
Prediction : 1st Mersey Street 2nd La Quarite 3rd Imperial Measure
