UK Horse Racing Tips: Fakenham

Somebodycomegether finally opened her account when successful at Catterick. She'll find life tougher raised 7lb and BRIERY BUTTERFLY is less exposed. The daughter of Getaway finished clear of the rest when runner-up to the progressive Princess Keri at Ludlow in November and Henry Daly looks to have found her an easier opportunity. A winner at Southwell on her penultimate start, Apieceovfortune could get involved if back on song.
Prediction : 1st Briery Butterfly 2nd Somebodycomegether 3rd Apieceovfortune

UNCLE AL is the most recent winner, having scored over this distance at Sedgefield last month. Jessica Bedi's charge disappointed in a conditionals' race at Catterick subsequently, but he gets another chance with Aaron Anderson allowed to utilise his 5lb claim on this occasion. Crac De Megaudais struck over hurdles here last year and his trainer has sent out the last two winners. He's preferred to Imperial Pride of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Uncle Al 2nd Crac De Megaudais 3rd Imperial Pride

A rare runner in this code for Newmarket trainer Charlie Fellowes, SENSE OF REASON finished a respectable fourth at Huntingdon on his hurdling bow. That experience should stand him in good stead and he could find enough improvement to launch a serious challenge. Eddie My Eagle is another likely to be thereabouts at the finish on the back of filling the runner-up spot at Sedgefield. Quinta Brigada is worth noting on debut for his new yard.
Prediction : 1st Sense Of Reason 2nd Eddie My Eagle 3rd Quinta Brigada

OVERABOTTLEOFRED is lightly raced over fences, finishing second at Leicester twice before coming home 21 lengths in front at Huntingdon after being left clear at the last. Upped 5lb for that, she may have improvement to come on her return for the season. It's Easy was outclassed when eighth at Cheltenham but won by 40 lengths at Bangor in November, although that was on heavy ground and conditions may be very different here. Mighty Fleur could get the better of Jacks Touch for third.
Prediction : 1st Overabottleofred 2nd Its Easy 3rd Mighty Fleur

Trainer Stuart Edmunds won this in 2022 and he has two entered here, with Kelijoe in with a chance after he came home clear of his rivals at Doncaster over a fraction shorter. Upped 7lb, he will need to improve again to get the better of stable companion BLUEGRASS, who has won three of his four starts here and is worth another try at the extended distance with Murray Dodd claiming 7lb. Breezethroughlife is preferred to Escapologist of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Bluegrass 2nd Kelijoe 3rd Breezethroughlife

Plenty of in-form runners to pick from but ANNIE NAIL stands out after her second over hurdles here under today's jockey. Due to go up 3lb for future races, she won't get many better chances, although her stamina for this distance does have to be taken on trust at the first attempt. Stamina Chope has won over 3m-plus and warrants respect after her Leicester third, but she is not as effective over fences and Windsor second Illogical Logic appears to be the bigger danger.
Prediction : 1st Annie Nail 2nd Illogical Logic 3rd Stamina Chope

GETAWAY WITH YOU failed in his hat-trick bid when second at Uttoxeter, but that was on heavy ground and he could get back to winning ways. Hidor De Bersy might be the one to make him pull out all the stops after a very easy victory at Wincanton, with a 3lb rise in the handicap seemingly generous. Eliza Dolittle and Heaven Smart have claims too.
Prediction : 1st Getaway With You 2nd Hidor De Bersy 3rd Eliza Dolittle
