UK Horse Racing Tips: Hereford

MARSIAC built on his promising Rules debut when getting off the mark in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Aintree a month ago. The four-year-old is likely to have more improvement left to come and he is clearly the one to beat. Montemares scored on his racecourse bow over C&D three weeks ago and, while that form is not quite as strong as the selection's, Tom Lacey's gelding cannot be discounted. Any market support for Justice Served would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Marsiac 2nd Montemares 3rd Justice Served

Liam Mera Kai sets the standard having won a Warwick bumper in March and he was third on his hurdling debut at Huntingdon recently. That said, a chance can be taken with FOUR SPRINGS, who bolted up in an Irish point in May and was bought for 82,000 euros later that month. Lully Du Houx is a newcomer to note, while Hey Buddy completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Four Springs 2nd Liam Mera Kai 3rd Lully Du Houx

L'EMPIRE VERT's task was made easier as most of his rivals failed to complete when he won at Ludlow earlier in the month. That said, it was still a good performance and he merits plenty of respect off just 2lb higher here. Electric Eddy disappointed at Stratford on his return last month but it is too soon to be writing him off, while Sanitiser is next best.
Prediction : 1st Lempire Vert 2nd Electric Eddy 3rd Sanitiser

Keep On Cobbling made her first start in a handicap a winning one on her return earlier this month and holds an obvious chance, but the vote goes to HILLSIN. The seven-year-old was victorious on his first outing back with Alan Jones at Exeter last month and is just 3lb higher. The step back up in trip is unlikely to pose him any problems and he can follow up. The Secret Pearl and Golden Identity are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Hillsin 2nd Keep On Cobbling 3rd The Secret Pearl

COPSHILL LAD justified favouritism by three lengths over C&D on his most recent start and is likely to have more to offer on just his second chase outing. With the Harry Derham yard in fine form at present, he could prove a tough nut to crack. Concetto only found one too good at Ludlow last time and needs considering with Harry Cobden taking over in the plate. Of the remainder, Mahler Moon makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Copshill Lad 2nd Concetto 3rd Mahler Moon

Ride Like A Girl has shown enough in her two appearances over hurdles to suggest a mark of 101 could prove to be workable, but it may pay to side with GRANNY HAWKINS. Alan King's mare produced an improved display when second at Uttoxeter in July and she could be the one to beat. C&D winner Fay Ce Que Voudras looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Granny Hawkins 2nd Ride Like A Girl 3rd Fay Ce Que Voudras

Indulto Rouge bolted up between the flags in May and the market could tell all on his first outing under Rules for the in-form David Pipe team. However, WESTERN CROSS was beaten a length into second on debut at Worcester and could take a step forward from that display. The son of Order Of St George looks well placed to get off the mark, while Sassipants should fare better after her fourth at Uttoxeter and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Western Cross 2nd Indulto Rouge 3rd Sassipants
