UK Horse Racing Tips: Newton Abbot

Elated boasts every chance on the pick of her form and first-time cheekpieces might help just eke out that little bit more from Ben Pauling's charge. Getmyfriend is another to take seriously, but LIKEWHATYOUSEE gets the nod following a cracking effort in defeat on her seasonal return/hurdles debut here three weeks ago. Winner of a Flat maiden at the Curragh, she's a promising recruit to this sphere.
Prediction : 1st Likewhatyousee 2nd Elated 3rd Getmyfriend

KITTYS GLANCE won her maiden hurdle at Huntingdon before posting a solid effort in defeat under a penalty at Hereford. Her handicap debut at Worcester resulted in another creditable performance and she can build on that close-up third off just 2lb higher. Backer Bilk won on the Flat and seems to be getting the hang of things now over hurdles, while Ask Peter is 0-10 over timber but showed a lot more here last time.
Prediction : 1st Kittys Glance 2nd Backer Bilk 3rd Ask Peter

MISS KASSIOPI disappointed favourite-backers at Hexham but was beaten less than a length into second that day and certainly wasn't disgraced. Her record of 1-16 over hurdles is a slight concern, but this is only her second start for champion trainer Dan Skelton and the in-form handler does well with this type of horse. She gets a confident vote ahead of Hurst Hill and Blue Siam.
Prediction : 1st Miss Kassiopi 2nd Hurst Hill 3rd Blue Siam

GORE POINT was only a length down when left clear at the last at Stratford on Monday and may well have been successful even if his Fontwell conqueror didn't unseat. Anthony Honeyball's gelding had clearly stepped forward from that effort and may well have more to offer, despite him now shouldering a 7lb penalty. Duke Of Luckley won in fine style at Southwell when returning from a break but has to back that up after a 9lb rise. With that in mind, Krak might prove to be the main threat following wind surgery.
Prediction : 1st Gore Point 2nd Krak 3rd Duke Of Luckley

Emerald Time benefited from the application of a tongue-tie when gaining a first career success at Worcester and the five-year-old is expected to be competitive once again after going up 6lb. Max Of Stars unseated at Stratford in April but appears likely to have more to offer in this sphere and is worth another chance. However, the vote goes to CHARLUS. Dan Skelton's charge was set some very difficult tasks in the spring at Cheltenham and Aintree, so it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see him bounce back, especially following a wind operation.
Prediction : 1st Charlus 2nd Emerald Time 3rd Max Of Stars

WINNING PADDY's best performance of his career came when scoring over C&D on his penultimate start and Alex Dunn's gelding, who is unexposed with regards to a stamina test over fences, makes a considerable amount of appeal on paper. Daring Plan is likely to be in the mix after his Uttoxeter success last month, while others to note include Radharc Na Slaine and Longhouse Star.
Prediction : 1st Winning Paddy 2nd Daring Plan 3rd Radharc Na Slaine
