UK Horse Racing Tips: Fakenham

It was far from a deep contest in which BROTHER BORIS bolted up in here last month but, as both of his rivals on this occasion have something to prove, this is another excellent opportunity for Lucy Wadham's seven-year-old. Yorgunnabeplucky was on target at Ffos Las back in June but hasn't been able to kick on. Even so, he looks a bigger threat than Uncle Al.
Prediction : 1st Brother Boris 2nd Yorgunnabeplucky 3rd Uncle Al

Zarakerjack arrives following two creditable Kempton efforts and must be respected given that he's favoured on these terms, but MISTER URSUS gets the nod. Olly Murphy's charge went close at Chepstow last month and any further progress may well be enough. Hans Lippershey has taken a few backwards steps of late, but a return to maiden company ought to aid his chance.
Prediction : 1st Mister Ursus 2nd Zarakerjack 3rd Hans Lippershey

JAMAICAINE completed a hat-trick over hurdles at Doncaster in January and is sent chasing for the first time in only a moderate event. The progressive mare should be suited by the switch to the larger obstacles and is expected to continue her improvement, but the recent Plumpton second Where's Cato won't go down without a fight. Belle Montrose appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Jamaicaine 2nd Wheres Cato 3rd Belle Montrose

Stuart Edmunds won this last year and he runs Blue Marvel this season, with the five-year-old making her handicap debut after a maiden third at Huntingdon. A mark of 103 seems fair enough and she could prove the biggest danger to SECRET VINO, who won despite a troubled passage at Catterick and was value for more than the official one-length margin. Raby Mere has scored over C&D and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Secret Vino 2nd Blue Marvel 3rd Raby Mere

HELLO SWEETY is clearly a character but she won easily last time over C&D, coming home 19 lengths clear despite a mistake two out. The handicapper did take notice and put her up 10lb, but this small field may well see her dominate once more. Abbey Law won her maiden over C&D last April and may be worth another chance despite pulling up on her return, leaving Ghost Dancing as next best.
Prediction : 1st Hello Sweety 2nd Abbey Law 3rd Ghost Dancing

Bluegrass failed to build on his promising third at Taunton when producing an underwhelming display at Doncaster next time, but first-time blinkers might help him to bounce back. Even so, TAPLEY looks the way to go. Suzy Smith's nine-year-old was just touched off in this class over fences at Kempton on Boxing Day and is a C&D winner. Off a workable mark, he looks the one to beat. Nap Hand is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Tapley 2nd Bluegrass 3rd Nap Hand

Last year's winner JANIKA looks the one to be on. Runner-up on his latest point-to-point outing, the 13-year-old has lots in his favour to strike. Bowtogreatness possesses the highest rating in the field and if on a going day, he ought go close. Go On Chez was competing in the Hunters' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival this time last year and can beat Coolagh Park home for third.
Prediction : 1st Janika 2nd Bowtogreatness 3rd Go On Chez
