UK Horse Racing Tips: Fontwell

VISCOUNTESS NELSON was able to build on an encouraging hurdling debut to score comfortably at Perth and Nicky Henderson's mare looks up to defying a 7lb penalty on this occasion. Evening Tess has twice hit the woodwork over timber and is probably the main threat, but Frenati had been well supported when falling early at Newton Abbot and must not be overlooked.
Prediction : 1st Viscountess Nelson 2nd Evening Tess 3rd Frenati

A LITTLE SOMETHING won't win any easier than she did at Stratford last month and although there will be obvious questions marks regarding the strength of that form, she looks to holds outstanding claims from an unchanged mark. Gore Point is another with few miles on the clock over fences and might be the main threat, whilst Atreides is fancied to leave a below-par run at Worcester behind him.
Prediction : 1st A Little Something 2nd Gore Point 3rd Atreides

The ultra-progressive Granny Hawkins arrives having completed a hat-trick at Stratford in April and although respected, the vote goes to ALMUHIT. Faye Bramley's gelding failed to make an impact on the Flat at Thirsk recently, but he was a creditable fourth in a handicap at the Punchestown Festival on his latest hurdles outing and could be too strong now eased in class. Sun Joy completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Almuhit 2nd Granny Hawkins 3rd Sun Joy

SPECIAL JOHN comfortably accounted for his nearest rival by just under four lengths at Bangor on his latest outing and even though Sam Thomas' charge has a 7lb rise to contend with, he might be up to the task. Gata Ban won with ease at Worcester on Saturday and provided the nine-year-old copes with this quick turnaround, she ought to have a say. Ballyfinn can beat Edgewell home for third.
Prediction : 1st Special John 2nd Gata Ban 3rd Ballyfinn

Kates Choice got off the mark at Ffos Las last month and is bound to mount a bold bid, but the vote goes to MISTRESS FOX. Neil Mulholland's mare showed a lot more when filling the runner-up spot over an extended 2m5f here last time and is just 2lb higher. With a similar performance, she will prove hard to beat. C&D winner Kylenoe Dancer is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Mistress Fox 2nd Kates Choice 3rd Kylenoe Dancer

Alan Bresil races off a career-low rating and has to be respected, especially considering this represents a drop in grade. Fravanco occupied the runner-up berth over C&D when last seen and is noted, but MUSKERRY ROCK gets the vote. The seven-year-old won a hunters chase at Wexford in May and could make a winning start for the Dan Skelton team.
Prediction : 1st Muskerry Rock 2nd Alan Bresil 3rd Fravanco
