UK Horse Racing Tips: Newton Abbot

Having made a winning hurdling debut over C&D, Timely Salute merits respect in his follow-up bid. Max Comley's charge finished 12 lengths ahead of his nearest pursuer and isn't taken lightly, but decent Flat performer MOMENT OF LIGHT could have too much class for these rivals. The Sea The Moon gelding is a two-time winner on the level and should take all the beating if taking to this discipline. Uttoxeter winner Hello Garda completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Moment Of Light 2nd Timely Salute 3rd Hello Garda

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from CRYSTAL MARINER's second-placed timber debut at Ballinrobe and a breakthrough victory in this discipline may beckon. The six-year-old is open to more improvement than chief dangers Explode and Crackalackin and edges the vote. The pair have also finished second on their latest outings over hurdles and should make their presence felt at the finish, with the former feared most.
Prediction : 1st Crystal Mariner 2nd Explode 3rd Crackalackin

Saint Polo continued his upward trajectory when completing a hat-trick over timber at Sedgefield and merits respect in his current vein of form. Although the six-year-old is operating off a lower mark reverting to chasing, he does have something to prove after finishing a well-beaten seventh on his sole attempt at Fontwell in May. With that in mind, MISS DENVER gets the vote after finishing second on her last three outings, with fellow in-form rival Most Wanted a feasible alternative.
Prediction : 1st Miss Denver 2nd Saint Polo 3rd Most Wanted

My Girl Katie is in the form of her life after completing a hat-trick over track and trip last time and will be foolish to dismiss, but she might play second best to JAGER TIME. Fergal O'Brien's charge won by 12 lengths over C&D in July and the assessor may have been kind to only put him up 6lb for that performance. Henry Box Brown completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Jager Time 2nd My Girl Katie 3rd Henry Box Brown

It's hard to get away from EDELAK, who successfully made it four wins from his last five starts at Stratford in July and now returns to handicap company. A mark of 124 probably underestimates his ability and he looks the one to beat. Ellerton beat his sole rival over an extended 2m2f here recently and should mount a bold bid, despite being 1lb higher. Arctic Voyage can beat War Correspondent home for third.
Prediction : 1st Edelak 2nd Ellerton 3rd Arctic Voyage

MR MCWHINNY failed to supplement his Market Rasen victory when fourth at Worcester, but that was still a respectable effort and this looks a good opportunity for him to bounce straight back. McGregors Charge only found one too good over 3m at Perth last month and is likely to be on the premises again, while course winner Jetty May isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Mr Mcwhinny 2nd McGregors Charge 3rd Jetty May

Devon Red has shown ability in his two starts for Nick Scholfield and warrants a market check on his first appearance in a handicap, but it may pay to side with MOTHER SHIP. Shark Hanlon's mare showed improvement when sporting first-time cheekpieces to fill the runner-up spot at Sligo and she looks well placed to go one better. Of the remainder, Stratford second Captain Connor makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Mother Ship 2nd Devon Red 3rd Captain Connor
