UK Horse Racing Tips: Fontwell

Hill Station was able to build on a couple of promising efforts to score at Stratford last time out and must be respected from 5lb higher, but it is AQUIFOLIA that shades preference. Neil Mulholland's charge has few miles on the clock over timber and was a creditable second over C&D last month. A 3lb rise doesn't look harsh considering there should be more to come, with compensation a real possibility today. Graham looks well handicapped in comparison to his Flat rating and can also enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st Aquifolia 2nd Hill Station 3rd Graham

Following a frustrating run of seconds, LERMOOS LEGEND was able to break the sequence in emphatic fashion at Market Rasen before going in again over C&D latest. A further 6lb rise in the handicap could underestimate Mickey Bowen's 10-year-old, and he is taken to complete the hat-trick. Somespring Special was in contention when falling two from home at Worcester in June so she is of interest, as is the class dropping Jaramillo.
Prediction : 1st Lermoos Legend 2nd Somespring Special 3rd Jaramillo

It looks best to side with GALACTIQUE, who shaped with considerable promise when second over track and trip on his hurdles bow last month. The son of Galiway arguably sets the standard for all that Lady Wilhelmina boasts an official rating of 112, who makes her British debut having run three times when trained in France. Racing in the famous double green, Bouboule warrants a market check.
Prediction : 1st Galactique 2nd Lady Wilhelmina 3rd Bouboule

Fascinating Lips returns to hurdles for the first time since winning over C&D in September 2022, but he has been busy on the Flat since and won't be lacking race fitness. Tsavo Park travels over from Ireland for his handicap debut and it will be interesting to see if he is supported in the market, but CAWTHORNE BANKER could be the one. Two of his three wins over hurdles have been over C&D, including last month, and an added 8lb may not stop him.
Prediction : 1st Cawthorne Banker 2nd Tsavo Park 3rd Fascinating Lips

Faded Fantasy looks to be the pick of Christian Wiiliams' trio as he returns to fences off 12lb lower than his hurdling mark. Masterdream won here last month and enters calculations, though he can make mistakes and preference is for BALLYNAHEER. He made all to come home an easy 14-length winner here last time and 7lb more may not stop him if similar tactics are employed.
Prediction : 1st Ballynaheer 2nd Masterdream 3rd Faded Fantasy

Sun Joy put in a decent run when second here over shorter on his first start since February, and if first-time cheekpieces bring improvement he can go well, but one win for 14 starts over hurdles is a concern. Brilliant Light travels over from Ireland but top-weight may anchor him here, leaving the path clear for GOLD LINK. He kept on strongly to win over C&D last month and the booking of Harry Cobden to ride looks an eye-catching one off 4lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Gold Link 2nd Sun Joy 3rd Brilliant Light
