UK Horse Racing Tips: Fakenham

MORNING MAYHEM was a beaten favourite at Wincanton latest but can reward those who keep the faith, as he seems to have less on his plate and an impressive Uttoxeter victory in December remains fresh in the memory. He goes well on deep ground and gets the nod ahead of Character Testing, who performed well for second at Market Rasen. Risk It All is next best.
Prediction : 1st Morning Mayhem 2nd Character Testing 3rd Risk It All

Course scorer Animal is very much respected in here on the back of his Fontwell third, but the verdict goes to BROTHER BORIS. He shaped as though stepping up in trip would suit when finishing a staying-on third over 2m5f here last month and this could be the time to catch him. It's also worth keeping a close eye on Edgewell.
Prediction : 1st Brother Boris 2nd Animal 3rd Edgewell

A competitive novices' hurdle for punters to solve and only a tentative vote goes the way of SWINGIN SAFARI. He didn't show his best at Kempton but is taken to bounce back judged on the strength of his Wincanton form, not to mention last season's strong bumper performances. Plumpton maiden hurdle winner The Boss Bear looks quite useful and joins Limerick scorer No Cure and improved Sandown runner-up Ionian on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Swingin Safari 2nd The Boss Bear 3rd Ionian

BELLE MONTROSE sprang a big shock to win at 40/1 over this C&D last month, which could in part be attributed to a step up in trip. Sam Drinkwater's mare is completely unexposed at this distance, so a 4lb rise is unlikely to halt further progress and she's preferred to the reopposing Moviddy (third). Jacks Touch was well held in fifth that day too, meaning Kalista Love ought to be a bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Belle Montrose 2nd Moviddy 3rd Kalista Love

The classy STATTLER was only reeled in late on when returning from a lengthy absence at Hereford last month but with that run under his belt, he is expected to go one better. Major Dundee has been running with credit between the flags of late and although more will be required, he is still the main danger. This is deeper than the contest Hollywood Harmon won at Cartmel in May of last year but she's most appealing of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Stattler 2nd Major Dundee 3rd Hollywood Harmon

Apieceovfortune has to be respected following her C&D victory last month, which was her second win in three starts, but preference is for DE DELI COUNTER. Mark Walford's gelding pulled 15 lengths clear of the third when a narrow second at Market Rasen earlier in the month. He is 6lb well in on this occasion and the five-year-old must be respected with that in mind. Castanea Breeze is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st De Deli Counter 2nd Apieceovfortune 3rd Castanea Breeze

COOLTOBECARELESS won a point-to-point a year ago and made a promising start to life under Rules when second at Chepstow in October. With the benefit of that experience, Dan Skelton's gelding could be hard to beat. Elusive Pb also showed ability when third on his racecourse bow at Wincanton, while any market support for Beau Speed would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Cooltobecareless 2nd Elusive Pb 3rd Beau Speed
