UK Horse Racing Tips: Yarmouth

MONARCH MAID won over this distance at Thirsk two outings ago and ran with credit to finish second at Brighton last Friday. She clearly gets on well with Elisha Whittington, who has partnered the eight-year-old on both occasions, and could have more to offer. Simba Samba has a notable jockey booking in Ryan Moore and, on his recent C&D second, has to enter calculations along with Arnoul Of Metz.
Prediction : 1st Monarch Maid 2nd Simba Samba 3rd Arnoul Of Metz

AL SUHAIL travelled supremely well when second at Newmarket's July Meeting in a maiden that is already working out strongly, with the seventh and eighth both winning since and the eleventh finishing second in a hot Goodwood maiden. A half-brother to Dante winner Telecaster, he faces a couple of interesting newcomers on this occasion but experience could be key and a first-time hood might aid his cause in the early stages. Boss Power, a 375,000gns purchase at Tattersalls Book 1, comes from a German family which includes stallions Lavirco and Laveron, while Tiger Crusade cost 215,000 euros and makes a fair amount of appeal being a son of No Nay Never.
Prediction : 1st Al Suhail 2nd Boss Power 3rd Tiger Crusade

VERIFY took a step forward from his efforts in maiden/novice company when finishing second on his handicap bow at Ffos Las at the start of the month. This half-brother to the dual Oaks-placed Volume has the potential for improvement going up in distance and could get the better of No Thanks, who appreciated the drop in trip to score at Bath last time, and handicap debutant Voice Of Salsabil.
Prediction : 1st Verify 2nd No Thanks 3rd Voice Of Salsabil

ALHAAZM's best effort came when second at Newbury in May but his two subsequent outings have proven to be disappointing. However, the return to handicap company combined with a first-time tongue tie could see the son of Cape Cross gain his first career victory. The Corporal's C&D success last month entitles him to go close off a 5lb higher mark, while the step up in distance could see improvement from Assembled.
Prediction : 1st Alhaazm 2nd The Corporal 3rd Assembled

The Royal runner BREAK OF DAY opened her account in taking fashion at Lingfield and the William Haggas-trained filly has the assistance of Ryan Moore as she seeks to follow up under a 6lb penalty. Reconnaissance was second over course and distance and has the chance to go one better off a 1lb lower mark, while Chester winner Symphony and Epsom third Ifton are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Break Of Day 2nd Reconnaissance 3rd Symphony

SPANISH MANE landed the spoils over course and distance last week and Julia Feilden's Yarmouth regular has the chance to thrive again under a 5lb penalty. Master Poet was only a neck away at Lingfield last time and can be competitive once more off a 2lb higher mark, while Little Miss Kodi was handed the same rise for a recent Chepstow near-miss.
Prediction : 1st Spanish Mane 2nd Master Poet 3rd Little Miss Kodi

CENT FLYING thrived on his first outing since wind surgery when romping to a seven-length Brighton success. William Muir's four-year-old can continue from where he left off under a 5lb penalty and can get the better of Local History, who was a winner over course and distance in May on the last occasion Ryan Moore partnered the Sepoy filly. Lalania is another with a decent course record to consider and arrives on the back of a pleasing return.
Prediction : 1st Cent Flying 2nd Local History 3rd Lalania
