UK Horse Racing Tips: Hereford

Point-to-point/bumper winner RACE TO BASE lost two places after the last to finish fifth on his hurdling debut at Uttoxeter and would have learned a great deal from that experience. With Sam Twiston-Davies back on board, he looks the one to beat. Beggar's Nap only found one too good in a Southwell bumper in May and has to be respected in a first-time hood. Of the rest, Lord Cauvelliere makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Race To Base 2nd Beggars Nap 3rd Lord Cauvelliere

AFRICA CHARM made her way through the field to spring a 28/1 surprise at Stratford last month and could take a step forward from that effort. This is just her second start for the Henry Oliver stable and she could defy her penalty to complete a double. Only One Blue struck at the first time of asking in this sphere at Sedgefield and holds an obvious chance, while newcomer Ghost Dancing warrants a market check.
Prediction : 1st Africa Charm 2nd Only One Blue 3rd Ghost Dancing

Kit's Coty clearly benefitted from a wind operation when making a winning return to action at Ludlow last month and needs considering. Kosasiempre lurks on an appealing mark and is noted, but FOLLOWANGO gets the vote. Evan Williams' seven-year-old wasn't disgraced in fourth over 2m at Ffos Las two starts ago and may have lots more to offer on just her third chase start. This step up in distance could unlock the improvement required to strike.
Prediction : 1st Followango 2nd Kits Coty 3rd Kosasiempre

MIX OF CLOVER appeared to have plenty in hand when winning over 2m5f at Stratford last month and the veteran merits the utmost respect off a 4lb higher mark. Delpotro only found one too good at Sedgefield last time, having won at the same venue previously, and he is likely to be in the mix once again, while Noble Park is next best.
Prediction : 1st Mix Of Clover 2nd Delpotro 3rd Noble Park

Of Course You Can has to be noted after her Ludlow success a month ago, but a 4lb rise demands more from her here. With that in mind, preference is for ON THE GO, who has placed on both starts so far this season and the five-year-old remains open to improvement. Lunar Power edges out Woodythewoodpecker to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st On The Go 2nd Of Course You Can 3rd Lunar Power

Cases can be made for most of these, but none more so than GRANPA GER following his second in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter on his debut for these connections. The strength of that form suggests that the seven-year-old could be vastly underestimated by a mark of 105. Graecia and Baikal both arrive here in good form and are likely to be in the mix once again.
Prediction : 1st Granpa Ger 2nd Graecia 3rd Baikal
