UK Horse Racing Tips: York

LADY KERMIT made a big impression when winning both of her previous starts on the all-weather in decisive fashion and she sets the standard in this very competitive contest. The likes of Companion, Fleeting Princess, Lady Fanditha and Silver Start all have to be respected having caught the eye when making winning debuts in recent weeks. Mighty Spirit and Separate are both maidens but they should not be underestimated this afternoon.
Prediction : 1st Lady Kermit 2nd Fleeting Princess 3rd Companion

TWIST 'N' SHAKE didn't need to improve much on her return effort behind leading Oaks contender Maqsad at Newmarket when winning as she pleased at Nottingham last Friday. The daughter of Kingman is likely to have no issue with stepping up in class and showed her versatility last time when handling softer conditions. Natalie's Joy won at this level at Newbury over 6f last July and has to be respected along with Magnetic Charm and Clerisy.
Prediction : 1st Twist n Shake 2nd Natalies Joy 3rd Magnetic Charm

STRADIVARIUS took this by three lengths from Desert Skyline 12 months ago to kick start a run of five straight victories in an unbeaten season, landing the stayers' bonus in the process, and John Gosden's five-year-old is the one to beat as he looks to repeat last year's exploits. Southern France was third in the 2018 St Leger and could build on his recent Group 3 reappearance to provide the main opposition, with Ispolini respected following his fine winter in Dubai.
Prediction : 1st Stradivarius 2nd Southern France 3rd Ispolini

Uae Prince warrants plenty of respect representing the red-hot Roger Varian team, while Mythical Madness and Big Kitten are closely matched on their recent Chelmsford clash and both merit shortlist inclusion. Lucius Tiberius and easy Newcastle winner Grandee are a couple more names to note, but it might pay to side with MISTIROC. He only found the exciting Fujaira Prince too good at Doncaster last month and looks to have a great chance off the same mark under Silvestre De Sousa.
Prediction : 1st Mistiroc 2nd Uae Prince 3rd Mythical Madness

ACCOMMODATE signed off her juvenile campaign by landing a novice contest over this trip at Chelmsford and has since undergone wind surgery. Sir Michael Stoute's charge is closely related to a couple of Pattern winners and is expected to show up well off a mark of 83 on her handicap debut. Starlight Romance won off this rating over track and trip last summer and has place claims, as does hat-trick seeker Dream World, who is thriving for Mick Appleby.
Prediction : 1st Accommodate 2nd Starlight Romance 3rd Dream World

ROULSTON SCAR shed his maiden tag on seasonal reappearance at Wetherby last month and is fancied to build on that off just 5lb higher for Yorkshire handler Kevin Ryan. A winter gelding operation appears to have done the trick for the three-year-old and he can account for Tenax, who shaped like the one to take from the race when second at Nottingham recently, and Free Love, who is chasing a three-timer for Mick Appleby.
Prediction : 1st Roulston Scar 2nd Tenax 3rd Free Love

Mark Johnston has taken this handicap twice in the last four years and his trio of runners, headed by Summer Moon, who scored on handicap debut at Windsor 11 days ago, all warrant a fair amount of respect. Skymax has to enter calculations on his Newmarket success last October, but LAAFY might just have the most potential in the field. He built on his two juvenile outings to win at Leicester last month and the extra two furlongs appear in his favour.
Prediction : 1st Laafy 2nd Summer Moon 3rd Skymax
