UK Horse Racing Tips: Yarmouth

HART STOPPER produced a solid effort in defeat when second behind Raucous over C&D last week and is expected to give another good account off the same mark. Others worthy of consideration are recent Doncaster winner Athollblair Boy, who should have no problems dealing with this drop back from 7f, and Archie Watson's Inspired Thought, who receives a useful weight-for-age allowance.
Prediction : 1st Hart Stopper 2nd Inspired Thought 3rd Athollblair Boy

AL NAMIR looks to be improving and gets the verdict after going down by just a neck over 6f at Newmarket last time. Richard Hannon's charge steps back up in trip and shades the vote ahead of Spreadsheet, who shaped encouragingly when second on debut at Newcastle last month, and John Gosden's Verboten, who is expected to know his job first time out.
Prediction : 1st Al Namir 2nd Spreadsheet 3rd Verboten

EDGAR ALLAN POE has looked on good terms with himself in landing back-to-back victories at Pontefract and may still have more improvement to come over middle distances. His main dangers are likely to be the three-year-olds, with George Scott's handicap debutant Earth And Sky and Rock The Cradle, who steps up beyond 1m for the first time, the pair expected to put up most resistance.
Prediction : 1st Edgar Allan Poe 2nd Earth And Sky 3rd Rock The Cradle

Mark Johnston has his string in red-hot form at present and the Middleham handler can take this with SMILE A MILE, who lines up off the same mark as when a neck second at Ayr 10 days ago. Michele Strogoff has been very consistent since joining Mick Appleby last spring and his mark is slowly dropping, with Ultimate Avenue another silver medal contender.
Prediction : 1st Smile A Mile 2nd Michele Strogoff 3rd Ultimate Avenue

The form of Burning Topic's debut third at Chelmsford in the autumn has worked out well (the pair in front of her both successful since) and she holds solid claims on her return to action, but race-fitness could give FIVE DIAMONDS the edge. She lost little in defeat when half-a-length second on her introduction over an extended 1m at Beverley last month and should be all the wiser for the experience gained that day. The 64-rated Raha might prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Five Diamonds 2nd Burning Topic 3rd Raha

TILSWORTH ROSE was a comfortable scorer here over five furlongs when last seen and shouldn't have any problem proving just as effective over an extra furlong, with the 5lb rise handed for that win earlier this month a fair reassessment. The consistent Josiebond has proved to be a versatile performer of late and is respected, while Sweet Forgetme Not went close at Bath last time and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Tilsworth Rose 2nd Josiebond 3rd Sweet Forgetme Not

TONE THE BARONE has run with credit since scoring at Windsor in April and could have more to offer now tried in a hood off what remains a workable mark. Invincible Larne was fourth over track and trip last time and is another trying new headgear, wearing a first-time visor, while Awarded has been in good form on the all-weather the last twice and could have a part to play for a handler who often does well with sprinters.
Prediction : 1st Tone The Barone 2nd Invincible Larne 3rd Awarded
