UK Horse Racing Tips: Yarmouth

AL QAQAA built on his debut effort when finishing strongly to fill the runner-up spot over a mile at Chelmsford in November and William Haggas' colt is entitled to benefit from the step up in trip. First Winter showed signs of greenness when second at Lingfield in December and he can enter the reckoning along with On Guard, who filled the same place at Haydock on his sole outing last August.
Prediction : 1st Al Qaqaa 2nd First Winter 3rd On Guard

Mark Johnston has begun the season in excellent form and his representative, YOU OWE ME, makes considerable appeal on his handicap bow having been gelded over the winter. A slow burner last season, his best effort came when placed at Kempton on his final juvenile outing, and the step up in trip will likely play to his strengths with the progeny of Champs Elysees typically improving for a stamina test. Jellystone's fourth at Kempton in October suggested he could benefit from the extra yardage he will encounter, while Fighting Don could have more to offer.
Prediction : 1st You Owe Me 2nd Jellystone 3rd Fighting Don

Yazaman cost 185,000gns at Tattersalls Book 2 and warrants plenty of respect with his stable enjoying a solid start to the campaign with their juvenile runners. That said, the application of blinkers on his debut may not be a positive sign so DIFFERENT FACE gets the nod. Simon & Ed Crisford's filly has plenty of speed in her pedigree, coming from the family of Kachy, and the booking of William Buick may well prove to be significant. Swooper and Nurse Florence make up the field with both of them bred to be fairly sharp.
Prediction : 1st Different Face 2nd Yazaman 3rd Swooper

PRETTY LADY was sent off a well-backed 5-2 joint favourite at Lingfield at the weekend, only to blow her chance when stumbling badly coming out of the stalls. The Es Que Love filly is given a chance to make amends switching to turf for the first time since her debut with handler Mark Johnston firing in the winners at present. The consistent Comeatchoo was a good fourth in the aforementioned contest and is respected with that run under his belt. Ice Ice Lady and Sur Mer are interesting, with Lezardrieux also noted in a competitive heat.
Prediction : 1st Pretty Lady 2nd Comeatchoo 3rd Lezardrieux

GIGI'S BEACH made a winning transition to the handicap ranks at Kempton last week and Hugo Palmer's Oasis Dream gelding is backed to defy a 6lb penalty having won with plenty in hand on that occasion. Sparkling Diamond was four lengths adrift in third in that contest and the consistent performer is respected off the same mark, while Shymay can't be completely dismissed.
Prediction : 1st Gigis Beach 2nd Sparkling Diamond 3rd Shymay

MAN OF PROMISE bumped into Mums Tipple and Listed winner Molatham when beaten by half a length into third at Ascot on debut, and emerged with plenty of credit given how the race was run. The 170,000-dollar purchase looks a smart prospect and could take plenty of beating now upped to 7f. Cold Front made a respectable reappearance at Kempton last week and is likely to be thereabouts, with John Gosden's Kingman colt Thebian completing the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Man Of Promise 2nd Cold Front 3rd Thebian

MORROOJ has returned a beaten favourite on both starts in maiden and novice company but she may fare better now sent handicapping. Siberian Night has been raised 4lb for landing a nursery over this trip at Kempton in December and has viable place claims, while it will be interesting to see if there is any money for Bolly Bullet, an Irish import who is debuting for George Scott.
Prediction : 1st Morrooj 2nd Bolly Bullet 3rd Siberian Night

GUVENOR'S CHOICE is yet to score on turf, whereas he's a dual winner on the all-weather. However, he moved stable in the spring and, now rated 11lb lower than when beaten by under a length into second at Wolverhampton on his first run for Grant Tuer, he's expected to mount a bold bid. Sharp Operator is a model of consistency over this trip and can fight it out with Amaretto for the silver medal.
Prediction : 1st Guvenors Choice 2nd Sharp Operator 3rd Amaretto
