UK Horse Racing Tips: Huntingdon

A 4lb rise for Tigga Time's latest triumph over C&D looks workable and he's fancied to confirm his superiority with reopposing second Mistral Blue. However, THE SECRET PEARL returned with a respectable second at Plumpton last month and any improvement could make her the one to beat. Bitsnbuckles is also entitled to build on his seasonal debut, while Walden is having just his second start in handicap company.
Prediction : 1st The Secret Pearl 2nd Tigga Time 3rd Bitsnbuckles

Having landed a point-to-point, Rules debutant Lisnamurrican must be monitored in the betting representing the Nicky Henderson yard, but stablemate COASTAL COMMAND sets the standard. The son of Scorpion posted a promising third on his hurdles bow at Uttoxeter 37 days ago and he could be the way to go. Maccarellu will need to improve on his latest third at Leicester, but that's entirely possible with Venetia Williams starting to hit some form.
Prediction : 1st Coastal Command 2nd Lisnamurrican 3rd Maccarellu

Haas Boy hasn't looked back since racing under the tutelage of Chester Williams and merits respect in his hat-trick bid. However, a 5lb higher mark on this rise in class does demand more and preference is for DON'T MIND IF I DO. The five-year-old was a bit too fresh on his third-placed seasonal debut over 2m1f at Aintree last month and this ease in distance looks ideal. Clap Of Thunder could also play a leading role.
Prediction : 1st Dont Mind If I Do 2nd Haas Boy 3rd Clap Of Thunder

DE KINGPIN offered enough encouragement on his fourth-placed chase/seasonal bow at Ffos Las to suggest that a race of this nature is within his compass. Ben Pauling's charge should appreciate this ease in class and a 3lb drop may prove lenient. The biggest threat may emerge from Isle Of Gold, who posted a good second on his first attempt over the larger obstacles at Warwick in January, ahead of Trapista.
Prediction : 1st De Kingpin 2nd Isle Of Gold 3rd Trapista

2024 Derby runner-up AMBIENTE FRIENDLY should have learned plenty from his fourth-placed hurdle debut at Cheltenham and makes grand appeal. The four-year-old showed signs of inexperience and this emphasis on speed is likely to suit. Wondering Why arrives on the back of a promising third at Southwell and may give the selection most to think about, although it would be no surprise to see Bobajob bounce back to form tackling timber for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Ambiente Friendly 2nd Wondering Why 3rd Bobajob

DJELO looked better than ever when landing the Charlie Hall on his return at Wetherby and there could be more to come. Venetia Williams' charge arrives as the highest-rated rival and is taken to land this contest for a second consecutive year. Saint Sam ended last season with a decent second in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse and isn't taken lightly, while Hitman bounced back to form when landing the Old Roan Chase at Aintree.
Prediction : 1st Djelo 2nd Saint Sam 3rd Hitman

Babs sprung a 22/1 surprise to make a winning bumper debut at Stratford in October and based on the manner of that victory, she has to be respected. Great Dance boasts a similar profile after scoring on her first start at Newton Abbot, but LUNE BRILLANTE gets the nod. The daughter of Walk In The Park made her way through the field to strike in ready fashion at Carlisle last month and Harry Skelton prefers her over stablemate Katios Queen, so that might be a tip in itself.
Prediction : 1st Lune Brillante 2nd Babs 3rd Katios Queen
