UK Horse Racing Tips: Hereford

MAHLER MOON finished off last season in good form, winning two of his last three starts including at Wincanton latest when beating a useful form yardstick in Special John. Fergal O'Brien's charge can continue his good run of form and prove too strong for Smurfette, who is a model of consistency. It's also worth keeping a close eye on Maximum Offers.
Prediction : 1st Mahler Moon 2nd Smurfette 3rd Maximum Offers

MACHETE BEACH, a dual winner on the Flat, hasn't been seen since making his hurdling debut at Plumpton almost a year ago. The market may tell us more on his return, but it was a pleasing effort in third at Plumpton and this isn't a particularly strong maiden. Whatcombe is surely better than what he showed at Chepstow and is noted along with The Craftymaster.
Prediction : 1st Machete Beach 2nd Whatcombe 3rd The Craftymaster

DOUBLE CLICK could hardly have been more impressive when scoring over track and trip last month and it's going to take a big performance to deny him another victory if arriving in the same form. I Spy A Diva showed a bit more last time out when third at Windsor and is one to consider coming in here fresh, likewise The Long Walk.
Prediction : 1st Double Click 2nd I Spy A Diva 3rd The Long Walk

CLUAIN CHORMAIC moved over to the UK after a promising third at Leopardstown in December and has continued to show promise. Now sent handicapping for the first time, this might be the time to catch the five-year-old. Mount Anglesby is likely to benefit from an ease in grade following his recent fourth at Plumpton, while American Sniper is capable of being in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Cluain Chormaic 2nd Mount Anglesby 3rd American Sniper

Ettore has every chance if repeating his third at Taunton on his penultimate outing and first-time cheekpieces appear to enhance his claims further. That said, the vote goes to AMERICAN EMPIRE. Donald McCain's gelding shaped as though his return from a break over C&D last month would bring him forward, especially making his handicap debut on the second start after a wind operation. Southey completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st American Empire 2nd Ettore 3rd Southey

AWAY FOR THE NIGHT has clearly thrived for switching to fences and arrives following a first career success at Plumpton. A 4lb rise appears to be very fair for Alex Hales' charge with the likelihood of further progression to come. Kally Des Bruyeres boasts a similar profile to the selection and commands plenty of respect after winning at Market Rasen. Daany heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Away For The Night 2nd Kally Des Bruyeres 3rd Daany
