UK Horse Racing Tips: Navan

LEO DE FURY bolted up on his debut at the Curragh late last month and that form suggests that he should be capable of winning a race of this nature. Kaftan was only narrowly denied over a mile at Limerick last time out and the way she stayed on that day indicates that she should improve for this step up in trip. Jack Yeats was out of his depth at Royal Ascot when last seen but it is too soon to be writing him off completely.
Prediction : 1st Leo De Fury 2nd Kaftan 3rd Jack Yeats

ALLIGATOR ALLEY confirmed the promise that he displayed on debut at the Curragh by finishing third at the same venue last month. The son of Kingman may still have more improvement left to come and he is hard to oppose this afternoon. The Peckhampouncer is another who brings solid form to the table, while Shines Her Light and Reducta complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Alligator Alley 2nd The Peckhampouncer 3rd Reducta

Glow Worm will be hard to keep out of the frame based upon previous performances but she could be vulnerable to an improver today. PUNITA ARORA only found a useful prospect too good on her debut at Naas last weekend and she is fully entitled to improve for that experience. Princess Xena displayed some promise when last seen and she could reward each-way support this afternoon.
Prediction : 1st Punita Arora 2nd Glow Worm 3rd Princess Xena

GOPSIES DAUGHTER landed this prize last year off 2lb lower and shaped last time as though a return to form might be imminent after finishing fourth of 15 at Bellewstown. The eight-year-old is fairly handicapped on the pick of last year's form and she looks ready to land a first win since August. Paved Paradise (third) was just ahead of the selection on that occasion and warrants respect, while Dapper Power and Little Clarinet are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Gopsies Daughter 2nd Paved Paradise 3rd Dapper Power

Captainofthebounty has been a little disappointing in his career so far considering his connections and needs to step up after a 91-day break, while Sunset Nova remains a maiden after 12 starts and is also becoming frustrating to follow. Designation wears a visor for the first time, but newcomer DREAM ANGLE could be worth a tentative play. She is related to quite a few early types and might not need to be anything special to land this on debut.
Prediction : 1st Dream Angle 2nd Captainofthebounty 3rd Sunset Nova

HIGH STREET LADY kept on well in the closing stages over the extended 1m1f at Gowran last month, seemingly improving for the application of cheekpieces, and is expected to improve for this extra yardage with the headgear retained. Dance Emperor (fourth) has a little to find with Nimitz (first) on their Leopardstown clash last month but could narrow the gap to that rival now reopposing on better terms.
Prediction : 1st High Street Lady 2nd Dance Emperor 3rd Nimitz

LADY ROSEBUD returned to form when second over the extended 1m2f at Sligo last month and should give another good account off an unchanged mark. The main danger may be Heavens Align, who showed more promise at Gowran last time and is now sporting a first-time visor. The pick of the remainder may be Red Sole Diva, a daughter of Dylan Thomas who is unexposed beyond 1m1f and attracted support on her last run at Cork.
Prediction : 1st Lady Rosebud 2nd Heavens Align 3rd Red Sole Diva

ALLY CAY bolted up over 1m at Bellewstown last time and could improve for this stiffer test as she bids to shake off a 13lb rise. Ragtime Red was running well on the all-weather earlier in the year and is worth a market check now back from a break, though with a solid recent run to his name, recent Limerick second Shamad, who drops back from an extended 1m4f, is feared most.
Prediction : 1st Ally Cay 2nd Shamad 3rd Ragtime Red
