UK Horse Racing Tips: Yarmouth

SPANISH MANE was in the process of running a big race prior to clipping heels and falling over 7f here late last month. The daughter of Havana Gold had previously placed over C&D and she can win this contest if that heavy tumble has not left a mark. King Oswald returned to winning ways at Wolverhampton last time out and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Molten Lava.
Prediction : 1st Spanish Mane 2nd King Oswald 3rd Molten Lava

PATH OF THUNDER clearly needed his first outing when finishing third over 5f at Newmarket earlier in the month. Charlie Appleby's colt should be suited by this extra furlong and is likely to be a lot more streetwise this afternoon. John Gosden won this race 12 months ago and his representative this year, Deverell, hails from the same family as high-class sprinters Bold Edge and Hit The Bid. Others to consider are Arthur's Court, Historic and Maxi Boy.
Prediction : 1st Path Of Thunder 2nd Deverell 3rd Historic

TOP ROCK TALULA won well over 1m5f at Bath a week ago and a 5lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop her from taking this weak contest as well. Butterfield remains a maiden but his latest effort, also at Bath, suggests that he could make the frame today. The shortlist is completed by The Resdev Way and Strictly Art.
Prediction : 1st Top Rock Talula 2nd Butterfield 3rd The Resdev Way

NASEE produced a career-best performance on his stable/handicap debut over 1m2f at this track late last month and this step up in trip can help the son of Intello get off the mark this afternoon. Recent 1m course third Johni Boxit could improve for this stiffer test and finish in the mix this afternoon, while Ember's Glow and Telekinetic are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Nasee 2nd Johni Boxit 3rd Embers Glow

Delachance shaped like he needed the run when third at Newcastle on his first start for six months and is one to consider, despite possibly needing further, while Local History showed promise in two starts last autumn and has Ryan Moore on board for the first time. Preference, however, is for SIRIUS SLEW, who has proven frustrating to follow, having finished runner-up three times in his last four starts, but is making his second start for Alan Bailey after being gelded and appears to have been found a nice opening.
Prediction : 1st Sirius Slew 2nd Local History 3rd Delachance

Newcastle novice winner Mubhij just failed to double up under penalty at the same racecourse when last seen 10 months ago and that absence, coupled with a stiff opening mark of 81, could find Roger Varian's charge out on his turf debut. Choco Box's only career success so far came at this venue, though she failed to beat a rival home at Newmarket on her sole outing subsequently. The most solid option might be Swift Approval, who drops in class and could appreciate fast ground.
Prediction : 1st Swift Approval 2nd Mubhij 3rd Choco Box

DIVA STAR remains open to improvement on her third start for Rae Guest and could build on her victory here last week now turned out under a 5lb penalty. This is a tougher contest and she goes up in trip, but the four-year-old seems to be thriving at present. Oud Metha Bridge travelled powerfully to strike at this track three weeks ago and could relish fast conditions, while Takeonefortheteam is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Diva Star 2nd Oud Metha Bridge 3rd Takeonefortheteam
