UK Horse Racing Tips: York

CONVICT represents the stable that landed this prize with subsequent Grade 1-placed Awesometank back in 2017 and the half-brother to Hamish, winner of the Melrose here in August, is expected to improve for stepping up in trip. Lucander scored at Doncaster last month when showing a good attitude to gain his second career success and he can enter the reckoning along with Redcar winner Breguet Boy.
Prediction : 1st Convict 2nd Lucander 3rd Breguet Boy

LAMPANG struck on his debut at Carlisle for Tim Easterby and confirmed the suspicion he was smart when slamming his rivals by five lengths at Ripon last month. Eased down in the closing stages that day, the son of Dandy Man could feasibly add to his trainers' tally of three wins in the last seven runnings of this contest. Sirenia Stakes third Huraiz and Stone Circle, who plundered a big sales race at the Curragh 27 days ago, are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Lampang 2nd Huraiz 3rd Stone Circle

Richard Fahey has a strong hand in this with his experienced Group 2 winner Forest Ranger and Coolagh Forest, who was a winner here over track and trip last month and makes plenty of appeal off a 6lb higher mark. However, preference is for HARROVIAN, who thrived in first-time blinkers to notch a second career victory at Yarmouth last time and John Gosden's consistent performer could strike again with that headgear retained.
Prediction : 1st Harrovian 2nd Coolagh Forest 3rd Forest Ranger

APLOMB appeared unlucky in defeat at Ascot eight days ago when second and could claim compensation for William Haggas. The three-year-old remains open to plenty of improvement and has more to offer over 6f before being put away for the season. Gulliver was well backed for the Ayr Gold Cup and wasn't disgraced, finishing a length third, while Alaadel is better than what he showed at Ascot last week and should appreciate this step back up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Aplomb 2nd Gulliver 3rd Alaadel

COLOUR IMAGE shaped with plenty of promise on his racecourse bow when second at Newmarket to a rival who had already displayed some smart form in Ireland. Saeed bin Suroor's stable are in terrific form at present and the son of Kodiac will have learnt plenty from his debut outing. El Naseri, Fox Duty Free and Al Rufaa have also shown ability and that trio could have more to offer.
Prediction : 1st Colour Image 2nd El Naseri 3rd Fox Duty Free

ARROWTOWN landed this 12 months ago and could be set for a repeat of that victory off just a 2lb higher mark. Mick Easterby's mare relishes this track and trip and was only beaten a short-head in the 2017 renewal also. Stablemate Sassie has been running well off her current mark and Paul Hanagan catches the eye in the saddle, while Rubenesque arrives here having won her last three Flat appearances. Forewarning and River Icon are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Arrowtown 2nd Sassie 3rd Rubenesque

Cape Victory has been handed an 11lb rise for scoring by eight lengths at Musselburgh and, instead, it might be worth siding with unexposed Godolphin runner DUBAI ICON. The three-year-old son of New Approach has improved nicely in maiden/novice company and looks fairly treated on his handicap bow. Lord Of The Rock picked up minor money off this rating at Thirsk in August and can fight it out with recent Ayr scorer Addis Ababa and hat-trick seeker Ayutthaya for the silver medal.
Prediction : 1st Dubai Icon 2nd Cape Victory 3rd Ayutthaya
