UK Horse Racing Tips: Hereford

Bumper winner The Procrastinator needs to be considered on her hurdling debut, but the one that appeals most is WHITLETTS. Dan Skelton's charge only found an odds-on shot too good at Ludlow in December and she could have plenty of improvement in her. The booking of James Bowen on Annie's Angel makes her of interest and she completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Whitletts 2nd The Procrastinator 3rd Annies Angel

Point winner SEANIECON shaped with promise when filling the runner-up spot at Ludlow last month and is likely to take a step forward. This looks like a good opportunity and the five-year-old can take full advantage. Douglas Hyde brings plenty of experience to the table and has to be respected after his second in a handicap at Haydock in December. Bresiliant can beat Shuile Warrior for third.
Prediction : 1st Seaniecon 2nd Douglas Hyde 3rd Bresiliant

Hardy Buck bounced back to form when occupying the runner-up berth at Huntingdon and is respected, but he might come out second best to SEASMOKE. The eight-year-old made the frame over an extended 2m3f at Ffos Las last time and will appreciate this step back up in trip. Off a 1lb lower rating, she looks the one to side with. Kaviar Wood is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Seasmoke 2nd Hardy Buck 3rd Kaviar Wood

The bumper winner GLANCING JACK showed plenty of promise when filling second place on his hurdling debut over C&D a month ago and Tom Symonds' gelding merits the utmost respect on the back of that performance. Lau And Shaz was still in with a big chance when falling four out at Windsor last time and she is an obvious threat. Any market support for Superkap on his debut for these connections would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Glancing Jack 2nd Lau And Shaz 3rd Superkap

BROADWAY HONEY put in a career best when third, albeit well held, in a novice hurdle over 2m3f here in November. On that evidence, the six-year-old should find a mark of 99 workable on her handicap debut. Lydeard Girl has a similar profile to the selection and should not be discounted. The rest do not inspire a lot of confidence, but Springtime Legend is the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Broadway Honey 2nd Lydeard Girl 3rd Springtime Legend

COPPER COVE was a beaten favourite at Ffos Las over hurdles last month but it wasn't a bad run in second and he could build on that now back over fences. Benignitas also took the silver medal home on her latest start and is expected to be bang there at the business end, while C&D winners Kingcormac and Everyonesacritic also make some appeal.
Prediction : 1st Copper Cove 2nd Benignitas 3rd Kingcormac

KING JON OLIVER looks the one to be on in the finale. A winner at Fakenham on debut for this shrewd stable last month, he could be well treated off 118 now going handicapping for the first time and makes much more appeal than Lucky Bere, who has gone up 7lb for a Wincanton success. Bingoo is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st King Jon Oliver 2nd Lucky Bere 3rd Bingoo
