UK Horse Racing Tips: Yarmouth

VIKING WAY ran on well to land the spoils in the dying strides at Nottingham, thriving on his switch to turf last week, and could be hard to beat having escaped a penalty for that victory in an apprentices' contest. The consistent Catapult has made the podium on both outings on grass this season and is respected dropping back to six furlongs, while Poppy May was a silver medalist off this rating at Wolverhampton two starts ago. Nigel Tinkler's pair of Cliff and Hello Girl are worthy of consideration, while Phil McEntee has won this twice in the last three seasons which brings his course-and-distance winner Mother of Dragons into the equation as a live outsider.
Prediction : 1st Viking Way 2nd Catapult 3rd Poppy May

Tom Tulliver stayed on well to land a podium spot on his debut at Nottingham and is likely to run with credit once again. However, it is of real note that Ryan Moore takes over on the Royal runner, OTAGO, who wasn't disgraced first time out at Leicester and Michael Bell's Cable Bay colt looks a winner in waiting. Interrupted Dream appears the pick of the newcomers as he represents a team who often do well in this sphere.
Prediction : 1st Otago 2nd Tom Tulliver 3rd Interrupted Dream

MISTRESS NELLIE has rattled the crossbar the last twice, including over this track and trip last month, and has the chance to land a deserved victory off what is still a favourable rating. Course-and-distance winner Seventii wasn't far behind the selection in third at Lingfield last time and is likely to be thereabouts, while Misty Belle is another to finish just behind the selection when last seen, finishing fourth here on her reappearance.
Prediction : 1st Mistress Nellie 2nd Seventii 3rd Misty Breese

SWANSDOWN is entitled to improve from her return effort when fourth at Haydock last month, as the daughter of Dubawi lost a shoe on that occasion. Sea Battle ran his best race when third over this distance at Chelmsford and is entitled to improve for the switch to handicap company, while Catch My Breath's third here over a mile 13 days ago can see him go close as he stayed on well after fluffing the start.
Prediction : 1st Swansdown 2nd Sea Battle 3rd Catch My Breath

CAMACHESS arrives in terrific form having won her last four outings, including over C&D on her most recent start in April, and Philip McBride's filly can make it five in a row despite another 4lb rise from the handicapper. Queen Of Burgundy has taken a step forward since going handicapping and is entitled to be in the mix once again, while Brighton scorer Key To Power warrants respect under a penalty.
Prediction : 1st Camachess 2nd Queen Of Burgundy 3rd Key To Power

OUD METHA BRIDGE won over C&D in April and was denied by only a head when returning to finish second here three weeks ago. Verdigris has been raised 7lb for scoring over this trip at Redcar last month but she's open to further improvement all the same and could be the one who gives the selection most to think about. Outside Inside (was also engaged to run at Carlisle yesterday) has been dropped 1lb for finishing on the premises over this trip at Ayr last month and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Oud Metha Bridge 2nd Verdigris 3rd Outside Inside

KHAAN bolted up over 7f at Southwell when last sighted and the step up to a mile, over which he was third here on his penultimate outing, could help. The pick of the remainder may be Abushamah, who went close off 1lb lower over the extended 7f at Beverley two weeks ago, and recent C&D runner-up Lunar Deity, who remains on the same mark for this assignment.
Prediction : 1st Khaan 2nd Abushamah 3rd Lunar Deity
