UK Horse Racing Tips: Naas

MING WARRIOR hails from a yard that has already had a juvenile winner this year and while there is some stamina on the dam's side of his pedigree, being by No Nay Never the 75,000-euro purchase should be speedy enough for this test. Monarch Of Egypt is from the first crop of the US Triple Crown winner American Pharoah and out of a Group 2 winning half-sister to Dutch Art. Others to consider are Paso Doble, In The Present and Kocasandra.
Prediction : 1st Ming Warrior 2nd Monarch Of Egypt 3rd Paso Doble

CAPEL AT DAWN displayed plenty of promise when staying on into fifth on her debut over C&D last month and she could be hard to beat with that experience now under her belt. Liath Luachra has a similar profile to the selection but her form is not quite as strong and she will have to improve. Mogwli is a full-brother to a 5f two-year-old winner and is the pick of the newcomers, ahead of Liar Liar and Hot Dakota.
Prediction : 1st Capel At Dawn 2nd Liath Luachra 3rd Mogwli

CLASHANISKA returned a beaten favourite in a C&D contest when last sighted in November (We'll Go Again back in third) but he lost little in defeat, going down by under a length in second, and rates the one to beat on his reappearance. Captainofthebounty has demonstrated ability at 5f and is unexposed over this longer trip. He's entitled to come on for his comeback spin at Navan last month and could take closer order.
Prediction : 1st Clashaniska 2nd Well Go Again 3rd Captainofthebounty

LEWANDOWSKI has demonstrated ability in three maiden outings at Dundalk and is worth a market check now switching to turf and making his handicap debut off an opening mark of 62. He could hit the back of the net for a stable that excels with sprinters. Recent Navan second Mokhalad is expected to remain competitive following a 3lb rise, while Silk Cravat appears nicely treated because he finished a neck second off 4lb higher at Dundalk last month.
Prediction : 1st Lewandowski 2nd Mokhalad 3rd Silk Cravat

2017 Jersey Stakes winner Le Brivido was beaten on his only start last year at Newmarket for Andre Fabre and is interesting now with Aidan O'Brien. The five-year-old appears an exciting addition to the Ballydoyle team, but he might just benefit from the outing. SMASH WILLIAMS accounted for Imaging at Leopardstown last autumn and with both horses having made promising reappearances already this season, the form is fancied to be confirmed. Jim Bolger's charge was only half a length behind the rapid Sergei Prokofiev 14 days ago, and looks sure to take a step forward back over 7f for his in-form trainer.
Prediction : 1st Smash Williams 2nd Le Brivido 3rd Imaging

Flag Of Honour was progressive last season and could do better still with age, but runners from this yard often need their first outing so that is also a fear for his stablemate Magical, who gave dual Arc winner Enable plenty to think about in the Breeders' Cup Turf. Hazapour was beaten at odds-on in a Group 3 when last seen in July and has had a long break since so it could be worth giving LATROBE a chance. Joseph O'Brien's Irish Derby hero finished second over this distance in a Group 1 in Australia in November and might just be more forward than a few of these.
Prediction : 1st Latrobe 2nd Magical 3rd Flag Of Honour

Derby entry BARBADOS caught the eye with some good late work on debut at the Curragh back in August and is bred to appreciate this step up in distance for the Ballydoyle team. A brother to the likes of Group 1 winner Maybe and Group 3 scorer Promise To Be True, the Galileo colt can prove too strong for stablemate South Pacific, who has already had five attempts to shed his maiden tag. Halimi is entered in the Irish Derby and needs a market check for a trainer who has made an excellent start to the campaign.
Prediction : 1st Barbados 2nd South Pacific 3rd Halimi

SHRINGARA took a step in the right direction when landing a 1m3f Killarney maiden last summer and is expected to go well now upped in trip on her handicap debut. Bit Of Banter struck over C&D last year and is entitled to come on for her comeback spin on the all-weather. Future Proof is worth a market check in first-time blinkers, and Arthurian Fame could have further improvement to come having been gelded since his last outing.
Prediction : 1st Shringara 2nd Bit Of Banter 3rd Future Proof
