UK Horse Racing Tips: Epsom Downs

CAIUS CHORISTER arrives having won her last couple of starts at Yarmouth and Salisbury and the daughter of Golden Horn appears open to further progression having benefited from a step up in trip. Astrobrio was runner-up on her latest start at Lingfield and she is capable of stepping forward from that display, while King Of The Kippax merits respect based on his form this year.
Prediction : 1st Caius Chorister 2nd Astrobrio 3rd King Of The Kippax

Ipanema Princess showed a fair amount of improvement when filling the runner-up spot at Lingfield, having attempted to make every yard of the running on that second career start. That said, there is every chance BUTTERFLY EFFECT, who finished one place behind her on debut, could reverse the form on this occasion as she caught the eye with her late progress in the closing stages. Newcomers Rosette and Dovena appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Butterfly Effect 2nd Ipanema Princess 3rd Rosette

OTAGO probably found the combination of a mile on soft ground too much for him at Goodwood on his latest outing and the five-year-old, who has a lot more in his favour on this occasion, gets the vote to bounce back to winning ways. Granary Queen got her head back in front at Brighton and she warrants plenty of consideration, while Essme also has a chance.
Prediction : 1st Otago 2nd Granary Queen 3rd Essme

INDIAN CREAK recorded a career-best effort when drawing clear of his rivals at Windsor last time and the five-year-old may be able to repeat that feat in these calmer waters. The son of Camacho will have to carry a 5lb penalty for that victory but that might not be enough to stop him continuing his good record at this venue. Prince Of Bel Lir arrives on the hunt for a fourth victory from his last five outings and must be respected, while Toussarok also holds claims.
Prediction : 1st Indian Creak 2nd Prince Of Bel Lir 3rd Toussarok

In this competitive contest marginal preference is for the in-form LENNY'S SPIRIT, who arrives on the hunt for a third successive victory. He gets the vote to defy a further 8lb rise, while Mr Fustic may be able to mount a bold challenge after a decisive win at Wolverhampton last month. Canagat hit the line with plenty of conviction over 7f here last week and is worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Lennys Spirit 2nd Mr Fustic 3rd Canagat

RITA RANA was denied by a small margin at Brighton last time and the three-year-old is taken to shed her maiden tag at the 13th time of asking. The daughter of The Gurkha relished the drop back in trip last time and a mark of 50 is workable. Rochebrune and Nonsuch Lad have both shown glimpses of promise and warrant respect.
Prediction : 1st Rita Rana 2nd Rochebrune 3rd Nonsuch Lad
