UK Horse Racing Tips: Fontwell

Only Fools found a career-high mark beyond her when finishing fifth at Wincanton last month, but the David Pipe-trained mare wasn't beaten far that day and she could prove dangerous if dictating the pace. Marginal preference, however, is for WHYNOTNOWROY. The six-year-old has posted some creditable efforts in defeat in recent months and Harry Atkins' 5lb claim could prove pivotal. Market support for handicap debutant Dreadpoetssociety would also be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Whynotnowroy 2nd Only Fools 3rd Dreadpoetssociety

HE KNOWS BETTER found only a useful yardstick too strong on his handicap bow at Ffos Las recently and a similar performance on this switch to maiden company may suffice. The biggest threat could emerge from Lumi Plugin, who caught the eye when a close-up second on his hurdles debut here last month. Artiste D'ainay should appreciate this return to timber and the pick of last year's form puts the six-year-old firmly in the mix too.
Prediction : 1st He Knows Better 2nd Lumi Plugin 3rd Artiste Dainay

My Gift To You has enjoyed a fruitful campaign since being under the tutelage of James Owen and he merits respect in his quest to land a career sixth win. However, the six-year-old looked slightly fortuitous to land the spoils at Catterick in March and it may be worth taking a chance on SHERBORNE. The Getaway gelding is only 1lb higher than his latest second at Wincanton and this drop in class can only help. Chase debutant Time To Dazzle is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Sherborne 2nd My Gift To You 3rd Time To Dazzle

AWORKINPROGRESS scored in comfortable fashion when stepped up to an extended 2m5f here in March and a 6lb rise for that victory could prove to be lenient. Nick Gifford's five-year-old may improve further on his first attempt at this trip and he looks the one to beat. Weseekherthere was well held in seventh at Wincanton last month but this is an easier assignment off 2lb lower. Of the remainder, Bobalot makes most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Aworkinprogress 2nd Weseekherthere 3rd Bobalot

Seymour Promise struck by just under four lengths over 2m7f at Taunton on his latest outing and the son of Flemensfirth should remain competitive off a 6lb higher mark. However, the vote goes to CLOUDY FLAMINGO, who was well held in third in this grade at Exeter last time but he has been dropped 1lb and could relish this extra distance. River Tyne and Joe Cotton are just two others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Cloudy Flamingo 2nd Seymour Promise 3rd River Tyne

Seasmoke has gradually improved with each run and her recent fourth at Ludlow off this mark wasn't bad. The drop back from an extended 2m5f appears to be in her favour, but there are a couple of handicap debutants lurking on potentially dangerous marks and JANWORTH just gets the vote ahead of Miss Popalong having shown slightly more so far, although the latter now sports a first-time hood.
Prediction : 1st Janworth 2nd Miss Popalong 3rd Seasmoke

LADY CARO was sent off a well-supported favourite on her handicap debut here and although she had to settle for second, the performance was still a big step forward. The extra yardage can help her cope with a 2lb rise and she is fancied to break through. Lady Salvador also made a pleasing start to her handicap career when runner-up at this venue back in November. She heads a list of dangers that also includes Al Sayah and Selkirk Grace.
Prediction : 1st Lady Caro 2nd Lady Salvador 3rd Al Sayah
