UK Horse Racing Tips: Epsom

THE LORDS WALK returned to winning ways here on his most recent start, when benefiting from the application of a visor, and a 4lb rise appears fair if the headgear has the same desired effect. Light Of Air went close to getting his head back in front at Newbury last Thursday and has to be respected, being 2lb well-in on this occasion, while the consistent Amaretto, who was second to the selection here a fortnight ago, is likely to be in the mix once again.
Prediction : 1st The Lords Walk 2nd Light Of Air 3rd Amaretto

SIGRID NANSEN was just denied in her attempt to make it four wins on the bounce at Newmarket 13 days ago, but she remains capable of further progression stepping back up in distance and, with her form on undulating tracks, she could prove difficult to beat. Singing The Blues has been a model of consistency over the past couple of months and warrants respect along with recent C&D winner Ashazuri.
Prediction : 1st Sigrid Nansen 2nd Singing The Blues 3rd Ashazuri

MASS MEDIA failed to fire in a very strong maiden at Newmarket last time out but his previous form suggests that he can win a race of this nature. Magic Twist is entitled to improve for her recent debut effort and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection. Others to note are Glorious Zoff and Wild Hero.
Prediction : 1st Mass Media 2nd Magic Twist 3rd Glorious Zoff

ASCENDED disappointed when favourite last time out but the daughter of Dark Angel can be given another chance today based upon her previous victory at Wolverhampton. Chica De La Noche is only 3lb above her last winning mark and it would be no surprise to see her in the mix this evening. The shortlist is completed by Hunni, Material Girl and Zoraya.
Prediction : 1st Ascended 2nd Chica De La Noche 3rd Zoraya

CITY WANDERER arrives on a hat-trick after backing up his 1m victory at Newbury with a solid winning performance over the extended 7f at Chester 19 days ago. A 5lb rise appears workable for Mick Channon's charge, who benefits from a weight-for-age allowance from his older opponents. C&D winner Data Protection is proven under conditions and looks the main danger ahead of grade dropper Rampant Lion.
Prediction : 1st City Wanderer 2nd Data Protection 3rd Rampant Lion

QUIRKY GERTIE is turned out under a penalty for her four-length distance win at Lingfield on soft ground last month and could be well ahead of the assessor. The main danger may be Poet's Magic, who was touched off by under a length over track and trip last time and should remain competitive following a 2lb rise in the ratings. First-time cheekpieces could unlock improvement from Laxmi, who is no forlorn hope for a place.
Prediction : 1st Quirky Gertie 2nd Poets Magic 3rd Laxmi
