UK Horse Racing Tips: York

FINAL VOYAGE carries a 6lb penalty after getting off the mark at Chelmsford earlier this month, though that was a likeable display and James Tate's charge could have more to offer. The Camacho colt made all and battled well against a talented runner-up there, and is likely to be given a forceful ride here by PJ McDonald. Gear Up holds an entry in next year's Derby, while State Patrol is a half-brother to a Group 1 winner and also appeals.
Prediction : 1st Final Voyage 2nd Gear Up 3rd State Patrol

CHAIRMANIC won impressively on his handicap debut over 6f at Haydock three weeks ago and Brian Meehan's gelding should take plenty of stopping today. A 7lb rise for that win is a slight concern but he showed plenty of speed that day and he may improve for the drop in trip. Hot Affair put in a good performance on her seasonal return over C&D a week ago and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Clareyblue should also go well.
Prediction : 1st Chairmanic 2nd Hot Affair 3rd Clareyblue

PROMPTING made the best possible start to life with David O'Meara when drawing clear to land a comfortable two-length victory at Ayr. There could be plenty more to come from the lightly-raced four-year-old who represents a team who do well at this track and he is backed to follow up here. Shady Mccoy was back to his best when scoring on his Haydock reappearance and the course-and-distance winner is respected, while Ulshaw Bridge ran well over a mile here last weekend and is interesting dropping back in trip off the same mark.
Prediction : 1st Prompting 2nd Shady Mccoy 3rd Ulshaw Bridge

Dawaaween suffered a surprise defeat at Hamilton last time and makes strong appeal on her preceding victory at the same venue, though she might struggle to concede weight to David O'Meara's improving three-year-old, GOLDEN HIND, who hinted when runner-up over 1m at Ripon last time that 1m2f may be within her compass on her handicap bow. Award Scheme showed a great attitude when winning at Salisbury and is unlikely to be far away at the finish either.
Prediction : 1st Golden Hind 2nd Dawaaween 3rd Award Scheme

Last month's Brigadier Gerard looks a key piece of form here, with ELARQAM and Telecaster finishing second and third respectively behind subsequent Prince Of Wales's winner Lord North. Mark Johnston's inmate, who won this race 12 months ago, subsequently failed to get home over 1m4f in the Hardwicke Stakes but dropping back in trip could help him confirm his superiority over P J McDonald's mount, who ran away with a Longchamp Group 3 last time. Coral Gala second and third Aspetar and Fox Chairman can also show up well.
Prediction : 1st Elarqam 2nd Telecaster 3rd Fox Chairman

ORBAAN was a Listed winner in France a couple of years ago and he was not beaten far by Barney Roy on his final outing in 2019. The son of Invincible Spirit won impressively on his second start for these connections over C&D earlier in the month and, off just a 4lb higher mark, he has to be given the utmost respect. Hartswood is an unexposed three-year-old and Richard Fahey's gelding was not beaten far at all over 7f here recently. Others to consider are Greenside, Tadleel and Elwazir.
Prediction : 1st Orbaan 2nd Hartswood 3rd Tadleel

TUKHOOM proved himself over 6f when successful here a week ago and could go in again despite a 6lb rise for David O'Meara. The seven-year-old has thrived on his racing this season, sent out five times since early June, and has shown in the past that he can be competitive off this sort of mark. Autumn Flight lost little in defeat when fourth in a blanket finish at Haydock recently, while Ugo Gregory is unexposed as a sprinter and also noted.
Prediction : 1st Tukhoom 2nd Autumn Flight 3rd Ugo Gregory

TABAAHY caught the eye when denied a clear run at Chepstow on Tuesday and can have his effort upgraded considerably. He'll appreciate the return to 6f and could be ready to strike if enjoying a smoother trip. Medicine Jack appears well treated on his Irish form and ran his best race for his current stable when runner-up at Ayr latest. A first-time visor could assist him, while Ben Curtis is also back in the saddle. Roundhay Park has dropped to an attractive mark and ran well over track and trip last weekend, while the consistent Big Lachie should also be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Tabaahy 2nd Medicine Jack 3rd Roundhay Park

KOHINOOR stepped up on her promising debut performance when scoring gamely over this trip at Haydock and, with further improvement on the cards, she could prove tough to beat. Bergerac has shaped encouragingly in two visits to Hamilton and he is likely to be in the shake-up again, while Julie Johnston can't be overlooked representing Mark Johnston and Silvestre De Sousa. She is better than showing on her latest start at Bath, where stumbling late on, and made virtually all at Chelmsford the time before.
Prediction : 1st Kohinoor 2nd Bergerac 3rd Julie Johnston

BAY OF WHISPERS showed plenty of improvement when taking second at Newbury earlier this month and looks to be the one to side with, representing Richard Hannon. Amor de Mi Vida shaped with encouragement when a silver medallist on debut, while the form of Dujac's Doncaster fifth has been franked by the second and third. Listen Again appears the pick of Tim Easterby's pair and could appreciate the drop to 6f, with Richard Fahey's pair Keeping Secrets and Nurse Dee also noted.
Prediction : 1st Bay Of Whispers 2nd Dujac 3rd Amor de Mi Vida
