UK Horse Racing Tips: Salisbury

Today Power cost 250,000 euros as a yearling and warrants the utmost respect on his racecourse debut for Richard Hannon, but it could pay to side with the experience of WIGHTMAN. A half-brother to six winners, he made an encouraging introduction when chasing home a useful Mark Johnston inmate over 6f here and, having looked very green, he should know more about the game now, as well as appreciate this extra furlong. Owney Madden did his best work late on at Goodwood and is another likely to relish this longer trip.
Prediction : 1st Wightman 2nd Today Power 3rd Owney Madden

WASEEM FARIS narrowly failed to complete a 5f Bath double when a close third behind Foxy Forever 19 days ago and they could fight out the finish of this veterans' handicap. The former is 3lb better off with his conqueror for that three-quarters of a length defeat and also has winning C&D form to his name, so Ken Cunningham-Brown's charge is fancied to exact his revenge. Harry Hurricane drops back to the mark off which he was narrowly denied at Goodwood in early May and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Waseem Faris 2nd Foxy Forever 3rd Harry Hurricane

ATMOSPHERIC shaped with an abundance of promise when third on debut at Goodwood last month and is expected to take closer order with the benefit of that outing now under her belt. Sword Beach should be all the wiser for the experience gained when second over track and trip first time out and is feared most, while a big run from Fantom Force could also be on the cards.
Prediction : 1st Atmospheric 2nd Sword Beach 3rd Fantom Force

NICKLAUS improved on his reappearance effort at Epsom when third over this trip at Chelmsford last time and is expected to give another good account off an unchanged mark. Family Fortunes was thwarted by a neck off this mark on the all-weather at Lingfield in March and has claims if running to a similar level on turf, while it would come as no surprise to see last year's winner Power of Darkness pop up, for all he's now rated 7lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Nicklaus 2nd Power of Darkness 3rd Family Fortunes

A competitive three-year-old handicap in which Ripon scorer Great Example is entitled to improve for going up in distance and Buriram should have more to give. Kiefer and Gantier are closely matched on their meeting at Newbury, when the former got off the mark, but this could be all about APPARATE. Representing in-form connections, the son of Dubawi won his maiden well at Newmarket and a mark of 83 may underestimate his ability given the second looked smart when the penny dropped.
Prediction : 1st Apparate 2nd Great Example 3rd Kiefer

Ravenous won, over track and trip, on his only previous visit to this track and is noted, but preference is for DONO DI DIO who doesn't know how to run badly and could build on placed efforts both here and at Goodwood now trying 1m6f for the first time. General Zoff is a model of consistency and also enters calculations as he remains on a decent mark.
Prediction : 1st Dono di Dio 2nd Ravenous 3rd General Zoff

SCENTASIA shaped with enough promise at Sandown latest, when behind her now stable companion Sparkle Roll, to suggest a maiden of this nature is well within her compass. The fourth won effortlessly at Doncaster recently and the aforementioned Sparkle Roll finished third in the Group 2 Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot last week. Open to plenty of improvement now with John Gosden, she can get off the mark at the expense of Al Hadeer and Gifts Of Gold.
Prediction : 1st Scentasia 2nd Al Hadeer 3rd Gifts Of Gold
