UK Horse Racing Tips: Yarmouth

SCANDINAVIAN LADY enjoyed the switch to handicapping when winning at Newcastle in January and she could have more to come off a 5lb higher mark on her first turf outing at this distance. Valley Belle was beaten less than a length over further last time and the mount of Josephine Gordon could be the pick of the Phil McEntee's trio, while Lincoln Red can't be ignored, just 1lb higher than when second at Redcar last month.
Prediction : 1st Scandinavian Lady 2nd Lincoln Red 3rd Valley Belle

ARCHER'S DREAM got off the mark at the first time of asking when successful at Doncaster last month and, having kept on strongly at the finish to win in taking fashion, the Dream Ahead filly could have lots more to come. Tilghman's experience is respected and a return to six furlongs could suit on his reappearance, while You Little Ripper is another with plenty of runs under his belt, with the Rip Van Winkle colt a silver medalist on three occasions so far this year.
Prediction : 1st Archers Dream 2nd You Little Ripper 3rd Tilghman

LILYPAD wasn't disgraced on her first handicap outing at Kempton in October and, dropping in trip slightly off a 1lb lower mark, she could have a big say at the finish. Voi picked up a silver medal over 1m4f at Doncaster last time and is dangerous if just as effective over shorter, while consistent trio Birch Grove, Going Native and Velvet Vision are all worthy of respect.
Prediction : 1st Lilypad 2nd Voi 3rd Birch Grove

BIGSHOTTE showed improved form on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton after wind surgery and, being a son of Champs Elysees, he is expected to take a big step forward tackling 1m2f for the first time. Rail Dancer warrants consideration on his easy success at Dunstall Park last Friday, while Hard Toffee is capable of better returning from a 90-day absence.
Prediction : 1st Bigshotte 2nd Rail Dancer 3rd Hard Toffee

BALGAIR enjoyed a consistent season in 2018, winning two of his seven outings and placing on three other occasions, and could have further improvement to come despite a 4lb rise for his latest C&D second in September. Juanito Chico only beat one rival home at Ascot at the start of the month but is better judged on his Nottingham success the time before, while recent Chelmsford scorer Itsakindamagic completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Balgair 2nd Juanito Chico 3rd Itsakindamagic

Irish Times was denied a hat-trick when fourth at Chelmsford last time but he's rated only 4lb higher than when scoring at the same Essex venue on his penultimate outing. Another bold bid is forecast though, for win purposes, it might be worth taking a chance on CAPE CYCLONE, who found 6f an inadequate test last time and steps up in trip now handicapping. Ubla, who won off 1lb higher on the all-weather in March, looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Cape Cyclone 2nd Irish Times 3rd Ubla

Distance winner SPACE WAR won with over three lengths in hand over 6f at Southwell last time and is expected to give a good account now stepped back up in trip as he bids to defy a penalty. The main danger may be the consistent Catapult, a 7f winner who was tapped for toe when sprinting on Fibresand latest and could appreciate this additional furlong. The pick of the remainder is Diva Star, who ran well in a 0-65 over 6f at Chelmsford last time.
Prediction : 1st Space War 2nd Catapult 3rd Diva Star
