UK Horse Racing Tips: Hereford

Braganza Bay could only manage fourth over track and trip in December, but lurks on a workable mark so is one to keep an eye on. However, WELCHESTON WARRIER finished a long way clear of the third when filling the runner-up spot at Lingfield and goes off an unchanged rating. The six-year-old sports first-time cheekpieces and with the Clive Boultbee-Brooks yard in fine form, he looks the one to beat. Jack The Savage completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Welcheston Warrier 2nd Braganza Bay 3rd Jack The Savage

Neon Dream has had a wind operation since his third at Kempton last month and he sets the standard with a rating of 118, but the vote goes to CHASING GLANCE. The point-to-point winner progressed from his first outing under Rules to take the silver medal home at Warwick and, with further improvement likely, he could be the one to beat. Pigeon Forge is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Chasing Glance 2nd Neon Dream 3rd Pigeon Forge

WESTERN GENERAL and Largy Belter both struck on their most recent starts, but the former's victory at Chepstow looks the better form. The Joe Tizzard-trained top-weight claimed this prize 12 months ago and can repeat the feat. Largy Belter appreciated the drop in trip to score easily at Leicester and is the clear second pick. Homme D'Un Soir can beat Uncle Phil home for third.
Prediction : 1st Western General 2nd Largy Belter 3rd Homme DUn Soir

Having posted a respectable fourth at Southwell, BY THE GRACE is more than entitled to build on that first appearance for 338 days. A 2lb drop in the ratings can only help Nicky Henderson's mare and a breakthrough victory may beckon. Although Conniemak was beaten a long way from home at Warwick, a reproduction of her previous third over C&D would make her a live threat. Handicap debutant Hey Flint is another of interest.
Prediction : 1st By The Grace 2nd Conniemak 3rd Hey Flint

The ground may have been a touch too soft for Golan Loop when he was pulled up at Wincanton and he must enter calculations reverting to the scene of his last victory. Warren Greatrex's inmate is dangerous to dismiss, but BECTIVE ABBEY is a shade more compelling. The eight-year-old arrives on the back of a good second in a class 3 contest at Kempton and a 2lb rise may prove lenient. Gris Majeur is the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Bective Abbey 2nd Golan Loop 3rd Gris Majeur

GRANNY HAWKINS opened her account with a convincing success over C&D in November. That was her first start since the summer, so she clearly goes well fresh, and it looks worth keeping on the right side of Alan King's mare. East End Girl has had a spin on the all-weather since placing here in December and she could prove competitive, while Land Girl's Luck drops in distance with a shout off her current mark.
Prediction : 1st Granny Hawkins 2nd East End Girl 3rd Land Girls Luck

ONE DIMENSIONAL is going the right way based on last month's promising second at Ascot. She likely has plenty more to offer and Max Comley's mare could prove too strong. Third in both previous starts, including at Ludlow on her return from an absence, Seven Stars warrants plenty of respect, while Sedgefield runner-up Eskylady can also make her presence felt after undergoing wind surgery.
Prediction : 1st One Dimensional 2nd Seven Stars 3rd Eskylady
