UK Horse Racing Tips: Salisbury

ROMAN MELODY makes a fair amount of appeal on pedigree, being a half-brother to the Group 3-placed No Nonsense, and could prove capable of getting his head in front at the first attempt. Good Job Power has shown promise on both starts to date and enters calculations along with Cheat and Ascension, the latter of whom is expected to leave behind his debut performance at Newbury.
Prediction : 1st Roman Melody 2nd Good Job Power 3rd Ascension

IMPRESSOR shaped well when fourth on his racecourse bow at Goodwood, having been hampered before running on in good style, and he could put the experience gained to good use second time out. A repeat of Stoweman's track-and-trip second last month would see him go close, while Malmesbury Abbey cost 210,000gns at the Craven Breeze-Ups in April and warrants consideration along with Bright Valentine.
Prediction : 1st Impressor 2nd Stoweman 3rd Malmesbury Abbey

TEXTING has clearly benefited from the drop to 5f, having won on her last two starts at the distance, and the daughter of Charm Spirit appears capable of handling a 4lb rise based on her Ascot victory from Pink Flamingo last time out. Rewaayat could bounce back from a below-par effort at Leicester on softer ground than he will encounter on this occasion, while Mercenary Rose makes some appeal on her recent placed efforts.
Prediction : 1st Texting 2nd Rewaayat 3rd Mercenary Rose

ALFRED BOUCHER has progressed nicely since being stepped up in distance recently and made it two wins on the bounce when striking in a Newmarket handicap last month. That was his first attempt over a mile and he could have further improvement to come off a 2lb higher mark. Sezim opened his account on his most recent outing at Chester and merits shortlist inclusion along with Clara Peeters and Fabulist.
Prediction : 1st Alfred Boucher 2nd Sezim 3rd Clara Peeters

Henry Candy has won three of the last five renewals of this contest and he can take the honours again with recent course scorer QUEEN OF TIME. The five-year-old was too good for Time Change on that occasion and the latter boosted the form when landing the spoils in a handicap at Bath last week. Fanny Logan won a Listed race at York last month, while Lavender's Blue is better than she showed at Epsom in the Oaks last time.
Prediction : 1st Queen of Time 2nd Fanny Logan 3rd Lavenders Blue

STEEVE looked to improve for his first attempt at 1m2f when finishing second at Sandown last week and could have more to offer over middle distances. The three-year-old can take advantage of his workable handicap mark and appeals more than Starfighter, who keeps bumping into one and remains vulnerable at this sort of level. Global Express made late progress on his handicap debut at Haydock last month and is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Steeve 2nd Starfighter 3rd Global Express

TELL WILLIAM posted a career-best effort in third here on his seasonal return and appears ready to shed his maiden tag for Marcus Tregoning. That was also his first outing since undergoing gelding and wind operations, and the return to 7f is also expected to suit the son of Invincible Spirit. Grey Galleon bumped into a smart winner at Lingfield recently, while recent Sandown scorer Stay Forever could prove best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Tell William 2nd Grey Galleon 3rd Stay Forever

Misu Pete has been in good form the last twice, including when scoring at Newbury last month, but a 9lb rise has followed and will make life much tougher. The Groove bounced back to winning ways when landing a claimer at Wolverhampton last month before running fourth at the same venue on Monday, but slight preference is for CRYSTAL CASQUE. Third behind Misu Pete in the aforementioned Newbury contest, the selection may be able to exact her revenge now reopposing on 9lb better terms.
Prediction : 1st Crystal Casque 2nd The Groove 3rd Misu Pete
