UK Horse Racing Tips: Ascot

Game And Set and Dubai Paradise are two experienced runners with claims although the level they set is not too high. With that in mind, a chance can be taken with QUEEN DAENERYS, who cost $500,000 as a yearling. The daughter of Frankel is a half-sister to Magnificent Song, who was a Grade 1 turf winner in the US, and the 2007 Gimcrack second Great Barrier Reef. Stars In The Sky is another newcomer to note, being by Galileo and out of a mare who scored at Group 3 level twice, and connections had to part with 525,000 euros to purchase her last year. Others to consider are Cloak Of Spirits, Reehaam and Veleta.
Prediction : 1st Queen Daenerys 2nd Stars In The Sky 3rd Dubai Paradise

Shoot To Kill was not beaten far at all on his debut at Doncaster earlier in the month but he will have to improve to win this tougher contest. SURF DANCER cost 260,000 euros and is the first foal out of a mare who won a Listed race over 6f on her second start as a two-year-old. Man Of Promise is closely related to plenty of winners in the US and newcomers from Charlie Appleby's yard always have to be respected. The 160,000gns purchase Molatham is a half-brother to the Listed winner Perfection and his family traces back to the great Miesque.
Prediction : 1st Surf Dancer 2nd Man Of Promise 3rd Shoot To Kill

CRYSTAL KING ran on well in the finish when third over 1m5f at Ayr last time and could improve for this step up in trip. Sleeping Lion finished back in 10th behind the selection in that same race in Scotland but failed to give his true running. He's better judged on a couple of solid placed efforts on the all-weather previously and is another who is unexposed over staying distances. Recent Sandown scorer Knight Crusader also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Crystal King 2nd Sleeping Lion 3rd Knight Crusader

MAGNETIC CHARM is the class act in this race and backed up her Listed success at York with a neck second in the Sandringham. She could benefit from returning to Pattern level as she'll not have the burden of conceding lumps of weight to her rivals, as was the case in handicap company at the Royal meeting. Anna Nerium and Main Edition look the main dangers on these terms.
Prediction : 1st Magnetic Charm 2nd Anna Nerium 3rd Main Edition

SEXTANT has impressed since joining the handicap ranks this term and, having scored on his seasonal reappearance over C&D, Sir Michael Stoute's Sea The Stars gelding paid a visit to the winners' enclosure once again at Windsor last time. Anythingtoday arrives in top form and looks to complete the hat-trick off a mark just 3lb higher than his recent York victory, while Hyanna was only just denied in a three-way photo at Sandown and is another to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Sextant 2nd Anythingtoday 3rd Hyanna

ONLY SPOOFING has been in peak condition of late and Jedd O'Keeffe's thriving five-year-old can complete the hat-trick off a 4lb higher mark than his latest success at Carlisle. Dapper Man got the better of the selection at Hamilton last month and had run up a sequence of four straight victories before flopping at Pontefract last week, with stablmate Harome also considered. Robert Cowell landed this race last season and looks to have a strong hand with Encore d'Or and Jumira Bridge, both with top jockeys in the saddle, while Daschas is not discounted under a 5lb penalty following his narrow Windsor triumph.
Prediction : 1st Only Spoofing 2nd Dapper Man 3rd Encore dOr

In-form TEXTING has the chance to build on her last-start Yarmouth success off a fair 7lb higher mark, with conditions perfect for the three-year-old to thrive once again. Pink Flamingo will be dangerous if proving just as effective away from Brighton, while Peggie Sue has won three of her last four outings, showing her versatility on a variety of going descriptions.
Prediction : 1st Texting 2nd Peggie Sue 3rd Pink Flamingo
