UK Horse Racing Tips: Wincanton

Dr Seb last won impressively at Uttoxeter in the summer of 2024 and has waited a long time for the hat-trick bid. Olly Murphy's charge is respected, but he's entitled to need this after 587 days off and SPRINGTIME LEGEND seems the safer bet following an assured Hereford success last month. Crossgales King showed improved form at the track recently and is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Springtime Legend 2nd Dr Seb 3rd Crossgales King

INDANNYA couldn't cope with the rise in class at Warwick when asked to contest a Grade 2, but she's still a really nice prospect judged on her previous win at the Midlands venue and can be forgiven one lacklustre effort. Sevarana confirmed the promise of her Lingfield second when going one better at Carlisle and is another penalised runner to take seriously. Chances are also given to Our Peggy and Lady Magic.
Prediction : 1st Indannya 2nd Sevarana 3rd Our Peggy

TOUQUET dominated a six-runner field at Huntingdon to record a double and connections have found him another good opening as he bids for the three-timer. Just the four runners have been declared and there is every chance he'll get an uncontested lead, so is taken to gallop them into submission. Sage Green is interesting on his chase bow, but a bigger danger is Haas Boy if he can leave a moderate Exeter performance behind and come back to October's Newton Abbot form.
Prediction : 1st Touquet 2nd Haas Boy 3rd Sage Green

PENN AVENUE finished third on her handicap hurdle debut at Plumpton before returning to maiden company and filling the same position at Hereford. The four-year-old appears capable of taking another step forward on this occasion. Frank Stamper disappointed on his penultimate outing at Plumpton before running a lot better at the same venue. He can get involved along with Raffles Nobu.
Prediction : 1st Penn Avenue 2nd Frank Stamper 3rd Raffles Nobu

BATAILLON scored at Taunton on his penultimate start before the runner-up reversed the placings at the same track. However, the eight-year-old would have finished much closer but for a mistake at the last which saw him almost lose his rider and, despite a 3lb rise, this appears to be a very winnable contest on paper. Gyenyame can be forgiven his run at Exeter in December, while Kilbarry Hill appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Bataillon 2nd Gyenyame 3rd Kilbarry Hill

There is plenty to like about the manner in which BALLYMACKIE has flourished since joining Olly Murphy and the hat-trick seeking gelding is hard to oppose. After comprehensive successes at Leicester and Ayr, a further 7lb rise could be workable in this company. Duhallow Tommy and Royal Mer also have revised marks to contend with after last-time-out wins but should be competitive. Bottom-weight Another Folly is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Ballymackie 2nd Duhallow Tommy 3rd Royal Mer

Le Cold Grey, a half-brother to three-time Grade 1 winner and Grand National third Gaillard Du Mesnil, should make an impact when he goes jumping and appeals after a respectable third when introduced at Lingfield. However, THE LIGHTMAKER is more speedily bred and shades preference after a surprise near-miss on debut at Chepstow in December. Octo Gane and He's Something are others with potential to go forward, while Nevada Samba boasts a stout NH pedigree and is an interesting newcomer.
Prediction : 1st The Lightmaker 2nd Le Cold Grey 3rd Octo Gane
