UK Horse Racing Tips: Bellewstown

Ger Lyons' MARCHONS ENSEMBLE shaped with plenty of promise when second on debut at Limerick last month and is expected to improve for extra yardage and strike second time out. Cursu Mina took a step forward when fourth behind Formyboys (third) over 7f at Roscommon last time and is another for whom a stiffer test is expected to suit.
Prediction : 1st Marchons Ensemble 2nd Cursu Mina 3rd Formyboys

YUFTEN had Tennesse Waltz back in third when landing a claimer at Limerick two runs ago. He's since been picked up by Ado McGuinness and could step up on his last run in handicap company now eased back down in grade. Rehoboth Beach and Basrah Breeze could both go well in receipt of weight-for-age allowances and are others for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Yuften 2nd Tennesse Waltz 3rd Rehoboth Beach

SUNSET NOVA is admirably consistent and ran well enough in a handicap at Tipperary last time, even though he failed to justify favouritism after missing the break. If getting away on terms this time, Andrew Slattery's gelding could go well in an open heat. Enough Said is sporting first-time blinkers and has place claims, while any money for Noel Meade's newcomer Buzz Killington, who is a son of Sepoy, would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Sunset Nova 2nd Buzz Killington 3rd Enough Said

WILD BOB CAT is fitted with first-time blinkers after going down by a neck behind Sweetest Taboo over this trip at Tipperary last time and wouldn't need to find much improvement in order to reverse the form. Early Call has been eased 2lb for finishing third over this trip at Navan last time and has place claims along with Guiding Star, who drops back from 6f after picking up some minor money at Sligo.
Prediction : 1st Wild Bob Cat 2nd Early Call 3rd Guiding Star

Useful dual-purpose performer EIGHT AND BOB obliged favourite backers at Tipperary last time and despite a rather hefty 10lb rise, Willie Mullins' six-year-old is fancied to carry top weight to victory. Shamad has the chance to improve on his Naas second now stepping up in trip off just a 1lb higher rating, while Fairyhouse winner Roses Queen is entitled to plenty of respect. Aasleagh Fawn drops back in distance with a tongue-tie applied, while Lizard Point is also of interest following some handy recent efforts.
Prediction : 1st Eight And Bob 2nd Shamad 3rd Roses Queen

Gordon Elliott has won three of the last five renewals of this race and his LETHAL STEPS looks well placed to gain further success for the Cullentra House handler. The 300,000gns buy has started to run with much more consistency since the spring and the four-year-old could have more to come in this sphere following a respectable handicap debut at Ballinrobe in May. Trans Wood has finished second in all three outings of 2019 and remains fairly treated, while a visor is tried on Gavin Cromwell's stable debutant Blottos, who was a decent handicapper with Sue Smith in Britain.
Prediction : 1st Lethal Steps 2nd Trans Wood 3rd Blottos

Feel Des Mottes scored on NH debut for Liz Doyle despite doing plenty wrong at Killarney 54 days ago and is open to plenty of improvement, while Act Of God scored over hurdles at Tramore in May and wasn't disgraced on the Flat at Leopardstown when third a fortnight later. Effernock Fizz is interesting chasing a hat-trick, but this can go to COOLONGOLOOK. Gordon Elliott's charge wasn't at his best last time, but previously scored at Downpatrick and was an impressive fifth behind the talented Star Max the time before that.
Prediction : 1st Coolongolook 2nd Feel Des Mottes 3rd Effernock Fizz

The popular SHAKE THE BUCKET returned to form when scoring with plenty in hand at Limerick in May, and the 12-year-old has been found a nice opening to follow up here. He returns to hurdling off 2lb lower than for that most recent success and could prove too strong for Celebrity Status, who wasn't the most reliable prior to his recent Clonmel victory. Thecraicisninety and Bluegrass Princess are others to take seriously in a competitive event.
Prediction : 1st Shake The Bucket 2nd Celebrity Status 3rd Thecraicisninety
