UK Horse Racing Tips: Newton Abbot

All three of these have a chance, but DEPALMA looks best placed to strike. Dan Skelton's charge was three lengths in arrears of Limerick Leader on his stable debut at Bangor and although the latter has continued his fine form since, he's now 13lb worse off and doesn't have the same scope for improvement. Muskerry Rock was pulled up at Worcester having won comfortably over C&D the start prior and is by no means out of this.
Prediction : 1st Depalma 2nd Limerick Leader 3rd Muskerry Rock

MATIWO was thrust into the Dovecote after breaking his maiden impressively at Newbury and he was far from disgraced. He made the trip to France next time to no avail and was given a break thereafter, but he returns to action in a winnable contest and should be much happier on less testing ground. Ride Like A Girl is the main form threat, but hurdling newcomer Scott's Legacy represents a yard in flying form and should not be taken lightly.
Prediction : 1st Matiwo 2nd Ride Like A Girl 3rd Scotts Legacy

GORE POINT triumphant C&D run came to an end in a class 2 event last month but a return to this level should be of real benefit and the noteworthy booking of Harry Cobden should only strengthen his claims. Stable companion Juggernaut merits plenty of respect having bolted up over track and trip three weeks ago, while it will be interesting to see how fencing newcomers Minella Jury and Inside Man fare in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Gore Point 2nd Juggernaut 3rd Minella Jury

BERRY EDGE shaped as though dropping back in trip might see him in a better light when runner-up on his first run for the Skeltons at Worcester and it would be no surprise to see him go one better. Saint Polo commands plenty of respect back over timber having landed a hat-trick over timber during the summer, while the veteran Cogital is 4lb higher after a C&D success in June.
Prediction : 1st Berry Edge 2nd Saint Polo 3rd Cogital

KILNEW SUPREME showed plenty of promise on his three outings so far since joining Paul Nicholls, filling the runner-up spot on each occasion, and the step up in trip on handicap debut is likely to unlock further progression. Kom Tu Voudras won at Fontwell two starts ago and is entitled to be competitive once again, while the other pair, Ellerton and Kittys Glance, also have valid credentials in a tight-knit contest on paper.
Prediction : 1st Kilnew Supreme 2nd Kom Tu Voudras 3rd Ellerton

FINAL ENTRY is 3lb higher than a C&D success in June and the five-year-old is entitled to bounce back at a venue where he has produced his best form to date over timber. Pooroldmackley ran well to fill the runner-up spot at Plumpton and he is more than capable of being in the mix off the same mark, while Bits Ballou is best judged on her penultimate second over C&D.
Prediction : 1st Final Entry 2nd Pooroldmackley 3rd Bits Ballou
