Fontwell Place 6 Preview | 8th December

12.55 KSR Lighting Juvenile Hurdle

David Pipe’s TURENNE was a decent sort in France and made an encouraging start for this yard when a close-up second at Catterick last month. Open to further improvement, he could go one better.

Tips: TURENNE

13.25 Southern Cranes And Access Handicap Chase

The Moore’s are in superb form so the answer to this race could be LE GALLI BIER. He finished a distant second at Windsor when last seen but is likely to take a step forward from that effort and this isn’t a strong race.

Tips: LE GALLI BIER

13.55 Mercedes-Benz Of Chichester Handicap Hurdle

WEAVER’S ANSWER has made the frame on his last four outings and wasn’t beaten far when third off only a pound lower mark at Ffos Las in October. He should again be thereabouts.

Tips: WEAVER’S ANSWER

14.25 Doyle & Palmer Wealth Management Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle

SHOTGUN SHIRLEY has achieved a solid level of form in bumpers to date and only found one too good last time out at Cheltenham. With fitness on her side, she could prove hard to beat if her jumping stands the test.

Tips: SHOTGUN SHIRLEY

14.55 KSR Lighting, The Ultimate Lighting Solutions Novices’ Handicap Chase

LELANT has been in good form of late, winning his last couple of starts and a 6lb hike in the handicap shouldn’t stop him from going close in his hat-trick bid. Connections have booked Sean Bowen to ride.

Tips: LELANT

15.25 John And Maryanne Birch Memorial Handicap Hurdle

CROSSBEAU was an all-the-way winner at a Chepstow last month on his return and a 6lb rise looks shouldn’t prevent him from making a bold bid under an attacking Sean Bowen ride.

Tips: CROSSBEAU
