UK Horse Racing Tips: Newton Abbot

Hot To Go changed hands for 165,000 pounds after showing promise when second on his sole point-to-point outing and warrants a market check on his debut under Rules. Havefunontherun got off the mark at Worcester in May and is of interest, but CALVINO gets the vote. Paul Nicholls' charge struck in one out of his three bumper starts and the son of Walk In The Park could prove a different proposition over timber.
Prediction : 1st Calvino 2nd Hot To Go 3rd Havefunontherun

Esperti went in by over a length in heavy conditions at Ffos Las in February and if ready to go on his return, he has to be considered. However, OF CORSE I CAN returned to winning ways over this trip at Fontwell earlier in the month and is just 2lb higher. Provided the eight-year-old remains in similar form, he could be the one to beat. Testflight's only victory under Rules came over C&D, so he is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Of Corse I Can 2nd Esperti 3rd Testflight

After undergoing a wind operation, American Land hasn't looked back, securing a hat-trick in the space of two months. His chance is there for all to see, but the vote goes to COURAGEOUS STRIKE. The son of National Defense justified cramped odds to complete a double at this track in May and now makes his first start in a handicap in this sphere. With the potential for lots more to come, he looks the way to go. Bluegrass isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Courageous Strike 2nd American Land 3rd Bluegrass

A few to consider including the likes of Elusiveness, who goes in search of a four-timer following a 182-day absence, and Busy Being Busy. The latter failed to achieve that same goal when returned to action at Market Rasen three weeks ago but he ought to have come on plenty, though AL SAYAH is preferred. Neil Mulholland's charge is two from two over this C&D, with the latest of those wins coming from 11lb lower. He was third in a stronger race at Cartmel latest however, suggesting his current mark is within range.
Prediction : 1st Al Sayah 2nd Elusiveness 3rd Busy Being Busy

Smart hurdler BLUEKING D'OROUX signed off last season with success in the Grade 2 Select Hurdle at Sandown and is fancied to make a winning start over fences. Paul Nicholls' gelding receives weight from each of his more experienced rivals but he's likely to know what is required of him, especially given that sibling Path D'Oroux is no slouch over the larger obstacles himself. Fourth in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen, Riskintheground is the main danger, while Theformismighty can claim third place ahead of Gyenyame.
Prediction : 1st Blueking Doroux 2nd Riskintheground 3rd Theformismighty

A switch to aggressive tactics saw JAITROPLACLASSE making all over C&D last month and a 4lb rise could prove to be lenient. Robbie Llewellyn's inmate scored with something in hand and he may be able to fend off the returning Siam Park. The six-year-old lost little in defeat when thwarted in his bid for a four-timer at Plumpton in April and isn't taken lightly. Chase debutant Nordic Tiger sits on an attractive mark and is worth a second look in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Jaitroplaclasse 2nd Siam Park 3rd Nordic Tiger

Peaky Girl posted a respectable third on her racecourse debut at Newton Abbot last month and should put her experience to good use. However, there are some intriguing racecourse newcomers on show that may have more ability, with point-to-point runner-up SOLDIER REEVES topping the bill. Dan Skelton's charge was a 95,000-pound purchase at the Cheltenham Festival sales and he boasts enough speed in his pedigree to cope with a drop in trip. Hobbson's Day and Not Now also require a check in the market.
Prediction : 1st Soldier Reeves 2nd Peaky Girl 3rd Hobbsons Day
