UK Horse Racing Tips: Huntingdon

LITTLE PI was only beaten a neck into second over C&D last time and that followed another runner-up effort at Hereford in November. A reproduction of either of those performances would give Sam Allwood's gelding a big chance here. Katira Du Mestivel's third at Warwick in December suggests that she could go well in a race of this nature, while A Good Yomp is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Little Pi 2nd Katira Du Mestivel 3rd A Good Yomp

ZOEMAN has run well in defeat on all three starts since returning from a 574-day break in November. The first-time application of cheekpieces can help him to go one better than when second at Ludlow last time. Sanitiser hasn't been running too badly of late and is entitled to be in the mix, while Wings On Wheels is noted on his handicap/chase debut.
Prediction : 1st Zoeman 2nd Sanitiser 3rd Wings On Wheels

PAGGANE bumped into two highly-rated rivals when filling third at Doncaster last time and that followed two victories at this level in November. The seven-year-old has plenty in hand here according to ratings and she is hard to oppose, despite a 4lb penalty. The recent Windsor third All The Glory may chase the selection home at the main expense of Jasmine Bliss and Ruby Island.
Prediction : 1st Paggane 2nd All The Glory 3rd Jasmine Bliss

LUNAR ORBIT benefited from a wind operation when gaining a first success at Market Rasen in December and it wouldn't be a huge surprise if the four-year-old had plenty more to offer with his attention now switched to handicaps. Escort'kheops hit the frame at Catterick just after Christmas and can enter calculations, while Bushstreet Bowman appeals as the type who can step forward on what he has achieved to date.
Prediction : 1st Lunar Orbit 2nd Escortkheops 3rd Bushstreet Bowman

Act Of Innocence looked an exciting prospect when getting the better of SINNATRA at Newbury before returning to the same track and tasting defeat when giving away 20lb to a smart three-year-old in the shape of Minella Yoga. However, Dan Skelton's gelding, who has since come out and won as he liked at Sandown last month, has every chance of reversing the form, especially as he has improved with each run over timber. Fresh Perspective is likely to appreciate stepping up in trip judged on his latest effort in a Listed contest at Sandown.
Prediction : 1st Sinnatra 2nd Act Of Innocence 3rd Fresh Perspective

STAMINA CHOPE is reliable, effective at the trip and could be too wily for her younger rivals. The 10-year-old was a ready winner over an extended 2m3f at Ffos Las most recently but also boasts a win over this trip among her four career wins over hurdles and fences. Reverting to timber shouldn't be an issue for this versatile character. Newmill Getaway probably needed the run on her latest start and would be a key player with a step forward. Briery Butterfly is the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Stamina Chope 2nd Newmill Getaway 3rd Briery Butterfly

Heavily backed when he made a winning debut at Lingfield, WILDE'S LEGACY is an attractive proposition despite picking up a 7lb penalty. The five-year-old won that race in an authoritative manner and could be progressive enough to follow up. Point-to-point winner Loch Ness Pineau was also well found in the market when second on his Rules debut in a similar event at Hereford. He is a logical danger to the selection on these terms. Power Of Silence and Midnight Escape are others with appeal.
Prediction : 1st Wildes Legacy 2nd Loch Ness Pineau 3rd Power Of Silence
