UK Horse Racing Tips: Yarmouth

This appears to be a strong contest but the marginal preference is for PORTRUSH, who is a half-sister to Enable. The daughter of Frankel bumped into an above-average rival when finishing second on her debut at Newbury last month and she is fully entitled to improve for that experience. Tanita only found the subsequent Pretty Polly winner Run Wild too good when last seen at Kempton in August and although the layoff is a slight concern, she has to be given plenty of respect this afternoon. White Mountain is another with strong form claims but the four-year-old has to give plenty of weight to the aforementioned pair.
Prediction : 1st Portrush 2nd Tanita 3rd White Mountain

NASRAAWY has hit the crossbar in both of his previous outings but the son of Kitten's Joy could make a winning handicap debut today, with an opening mark of 75 appearing to be fair. Rocket Rod has a similar profile to the selection and he could prove to be the main threat following an encouraging performance at Windsor last month. Others to consider are Burano Boy, Slade King and Eventful.
Prediction : 1st Nasraawy 2nd Rocket Rod 3rd Slade King

FAST START found the Windsor Castle too competitive last time but the son of Dubawi can be given another chance today based upon his good effort on debut at Haydock. Zookeeper should only improve for his first race experience and it would be no surprise to see him in the mix this afternoon. Boomshalaa is a newcomer who merits respect having cost 350,000gns as a yearling.
Prediction : 1st Fast Start 2nd Zookeeper 3rd Boomshalaa

ONE SMALL STEP ran a fine race on debut when runner-up at Newmarket last month and the booking of Ryan Moore can see the daughter of Footstepsinthesand go one better in a contest appearing not to have as much depth on paper. Rhyme Scheme is capable of going close based on her recent third at Windsor, while the extra furlong on this occasion may see improvement from Don't Tell Claire.
Prediction : 1st One Small Step 2nd Rhyme Scheme 3rd Dont Tell Claire

MISTER SNOWDON lost his unbeaten record when struggling to land a blow in the Jersey at Royal Ascot. However, the drop to handicap company on a sounder surface could see Richard Hughes' gelding return to the form achieved when beating a well-regarded individual of John Gosden's here at the start of last month. Lady Eleanor is from a family connections have enjoyed a huge amount of success with and she is expected to build on a winning return at the course, while the hat-trick seeking Badri and Spanish Angel appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Mister Snowdon 2nd Lady Eleanor 3rd Badri

ARISTOCRATIC LADY won at the third time of asking on her first outing for over a year at Leicester last month and an opening mark of 78 appears very fair for Simon & Ed Crisford's filly. Spirited Guest has gone close on his last couple of starts and has the advantage of Ceiren Fallon's 3lb claim, while Colonel Frank and recent Leicester scorer Case Key complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Aristocratic Lady 2nd Spirited Guest 3rd Colonel Frank

Fiery Breath failed to build on his reappearance at Yarmouth when fifth at Windsor last month and has a bit to prove despite a tempting handicap mark of 55. Independence Day is on a career-low mark and shaped with promise when second at Thirsk recently, but DELAGATE THE LADY is in fine form currently and can claim a hat-trick. She proved herself on turf when striking at Windsor last time out and, only up 3lb, could take some pegging back.
Prediction : 1st Delagate The Lady 2nd Fiery Breath 3rd Independence Day

Otago wasn't disgraced when fourth on reappearance here last month and has Ryan Moore on board now for the second time, while Batchelor Boy was consistent on the all-weather throughout the winter and showed ability on turf when last seen finishing third here three weeks ago. Rae Guest has his string in fine form, though, and his POETS DANCE is an intriguing contender. Fourth over C&D recently in a better race, she doesn't have many miles on the clock and can double her career tally.
Prediction : 1st Poets Dance 2nd Otago 3rd Batchelor Boy
