HEPI & YOU KNOW IT
HEPIJEU (4.10) can continue his recent revival on the opening day of the new season at Huntingdon.
A useful chaser for Charlie Longsdon, the gelding has been revitalised by Stuart Edmunds and beat Crieve hill in good style over timber at Uttoxeter.
The seven-year-old remains well-handicapped and can shrug off a 7lb hike for his shrewd new connections.
TIKKINTHEBOX (3.05) can shade a trappy novices’ handicap chase for Jeremy Scott. The six-year-old has taken well to fences and can build on last month’s third to I’d Like the option at Newton Abbot. MACKSVILLE (3.35) rates the safest option in the Smarkets Handicap Hurdle. James Eustace’s grey was third to Mr Caffrey over 2m 6f at Stratford and can enjoy a well-deserved success dropped two furlongs. VOODOO DOLL (3.50) can maintain Evan Williams’ flying start at Warwick. The five-year-old was just denied by
Monday Club over two miles at Uttoxeter and can resume winning ways back up in trip.
Nigel Twiston-Davies has also kicked off in style and he can strike with HOPONANDSEE (4.55). The mare has come on plenty for the Naunton handler and can resume winning ways after chasing home Kristal Hart at Stratford.
Some decent bets on the Lingfield all-weather headed by SWEET PEARL (3.25) in the nursery.
Richard Hannon’s filly found Group 2 company beyond her in the May Hill at Doncaster but can resume her upward curve down in class.
Andrew Balding remains in form and can take the fillies event with SILVER SWIFT (4.30).
The three-year-old bolted up from My Society on her handicap bow at Salisbury and this unexposed type can stay on the upgrade. BAMAKO DU CHATELET (5.05) can maintain Ian Williams’ winning streak in the two-miler.
A four-time course and distance winner, the grey slammed Rahmah on turf here last time.
PROMINNA (5.35) is another course specialist and he can claim the closing sprint. Tony Carroll’s gelding was just denied by Impart over track and trip and can gain due compensation off an unchanged mark.
