UK Horse Racing Tips: Sedgefield

FAIRLAWN SKIPPER made it two wins from his last three starts at Newton Abbot last week and is quickly turned out under a 7lb penalty. Provided that doesn't inconvenience the six-year-old, he will prove hard to beat. Parikarma returned to winning ways at Stratford on her most recent start and warrants plenty of respect, while Paddy De Pole takes a drop in grade and isn't out of this either.
Prediction : 1st Fairlawn Skipper 2nd Parikarma 3rd Paddy De Pole

YOU BE LUCKY JEAN remained unbeaten in bumpers when scoring under a penalty by a nose at this venue and now makes her hurdling debut. Micky Hammond's charge looks to have been found a good opportunity to strike at the first time of asking over obstacles, with her main threat possibly Tralee Girl, who was turned over at cramped odds at Fakenham in April. Of the remainder, Blue Topaz makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st You Be Lucky Jean 2nd Tralee Girl 3rd Blue Topaz

JETEYE accounted for Croagh Patrick and Uncle Al when filling the runner-up spot over track and trip on his latest outing and that looks the key piece of form to focus on. This is a good opportunity for him to make it two wins from his last three starts. Bahtiyar outran odds of 33/1 to make the frame at Stratford and could get closer for the Max Young stable.
Prediction : 1st Jeteye 2nd Uncle Al 3rd Bahtiyar

MR MCWHINNY cruised to success in a conditional riders' event at Newton Abbot last week and given that he escapes a penalty for that performance, Tom Ellis' gelding is extremely difficult to oppose. Achille Des Rocs isn't the most reliable but he's still the main threat having struck at Cartmel recently, while Maggies Boy is back on his previous winning mark and may well improve for the fitting of a first-time visor.
Prediction : 1st Mr Mcwhinny 2nd Achille Des Rocs 3rd Maggies Boy

Aimeric (second) was just a length and a half in arrears of WILLIAM YEATS when the pair met over C&D recently, but Sam England's gelding was always holding him and is expected to confirm that form on the revised terms. Tracker Issue lacked fluency when second here last time so will be a threat if he can brush up on those errors, and don't give up on Yanka Blue because she had a clear excuse at this venue last Wednesday.
Prediction : 1st William Yeats 2nd Aimeric 3rd Tracker Issue

LITTLETOWN LAD got the better of Character Testing with the minimum of fuss over C&D and had Expert Analysis even further behind in third. The son of Casamento is full value for a 5lb rise in the handicap and appears to have been found a golden opportunity to double his tally. Chasing didn't go to plan for Scoro at Cartmel, but he's worth keeping an eye on ahead of his handicap hurdle debut.
Prediction : 1st Littletown Lad 2nd Character Testing 3rd Scoro
