UK Horse Racing Tips: Fontwell

It's hard to get away from MALDINI MILANO. Paul Nicholls' charge shaped with lots of promise when only finding one too good on his hurdles debut at Newton Abbot last month and would have learned a great deal from that experience. The drop in trip shouldn't pose any problems and he looks the way to go. Asta La Vista showed ability in his sole bumper start when fourth at Worcester and goes for the in-form Charlie Longsdon stable. Fountains Blenhein is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Maldini Milano 2nd Asta La Vista 3rd Fountains Blenhein

DOCTOR ON CALL made a good impression to score on his bumper debut at Hereford last December and is a half-brother to smart hurdles/chase winner Martator. The five-year-old looks to have been found a good starting point over timber and will prove hard to beat. Fortune Timmy finished second between the flags in January before changing hands for 40,000 pounds and warrants a market check. Kool Kid completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Doctor On Call 2nd Fortune Timmy 3rd Kool Kid

Dunskay sports a first-time tongue-tie on his handicap/chase bow and also takes a step up in trip, so he is one to watch out for. Lord Maher competes off a career-low rating and is noted, but the vote goes to GRAIN TRADE. The six-year-old struck in ready fashion by six lengths at Market Rasen last week and a 7lb penalty is unlikely to prevent him from following up, especially with the Billy Aprahamian stable in such great form.
Prediction : 1st Grain Trade 2nd Dunskay 3rd Lord Maher

Plus Point produced a better effort when second at Worcester in May and makes her handicap debut in this sphere on her return to action. However, HELLO CELLO finished third in this grade over the same C&D in June and is now 1lb lower. If ready to go, she could be the one to beat. Clear Storm showed promise prior to falling at Market Rasen in July and is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Hello Cello 2nd Plus Point 3rd Clear Storm

Preparations are approaching full swing at the in-form Paul Nicholls yard and the multiple champion trainer has another key player in the returning PASO DOBLE. The eight-year-old has won when fresh in the past and he can exploit a handy rating back over hurdles. George's Lad was still in the mix when he fell in the EBF Final at Sandown and merits close inspection resuming at this level. Goodwin, a C&D winner on his penultimate start, completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Paso Doble 2nd Georges Lad 3rd Goodwin

OF CORSE I CAN has improved since stepping back up in trip and being sent chasing. From a very workable mark, the eight-year-old can take another step forward to complete a three-timer, with stylish claimer Bradley Harris retaining the ride. Record High was a C&D winner in February and has a decent chance off just 4lb higher. Ballintara and Grand Sabre are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Of Corse I Can 2nd Record High 3rd Ballintara

JINGLE JANGLE JET could be set for further success if he picks up where he left off in March. That Newcastle triumph was the seven-year-old's final start for Philip Kirby, but this is no tougher and it could provide an ideal starting point for his career with Ben Pauling. Kopa Kilana has held his form well and looks worth another try over this sort of trip. Final Straw and Call Your Bluff merit betting checks.
Prediction : 1st Jingle Jangle Jet 2nd Kopa Kilana 3rd Final Straw
