UK Horse Racing Tips: York

A number of these look to hold claims, but HATHLOOL ran out an impressive winner over 1m at Leicester recently and a 5lb penalty might not be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. Liamarty Dreams won well under an aggressive ride from Pierre-Louis Jamin at Chester last time and he must enter calculations lining up off a 5lb higher mark, while Brazen Bolt, Testing Faith and Danzan are others to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Hathlool 2nd Liamarty Dreams 3rd Brazen Bolt

In this competitive contest it may pay dividends to opt for the lightly-raced six-year-old GHALY, who ran a mighty race to finish second at Hamilton after a lengthy absence. The son of Dubawi may be able to take a step forward and a mark of 93 could underestimate his ability. If he fails to fire then Blue For You can pick up the pieces after his half-length second over this C&D off 3lb lower earlier in the month. La Trinidad is another to consider closely.
Prediction : 1st Ghaly 2nd Blue For You 3rd La Trinidad

LATE ARRIVAL backed up an impressive display on his penultimate outing at Pontefract under a 5lb penalty at Chester and the five-year-old boasts strong credentials in his attempt to complete a hat-trick of victories. Good Earth has been in excellent form and comes into this following a career-best effort here last month. He must enter calculations along with Our Little Pony, a winner here last month, and Haydock scorer Muscika.
Prediction : 1st Late Arrival 2nd Good Earth 3rd Our Little Pony

CRAVEN has filled second place on both of his previous starts, including on debut at this track in June, and Richard Fahey's colt has every chance of going one better this evening. The well-related Sudden Ambush is a newcomer who merits plenty of respect, while similar comments apply to Cobalt Blue. Impulsive Reaction has to be on the shortlist following his Musselburgh win last month but a penalty will make his life tougher.
Prediction : 1st Craven 2nd Sudden Ambush 3rd Cobalt Blue

A fascinating race where Poptronic seems likely to prove popular after her success in Group 3 company last time, but a chance is taken on PEARL BEACH. She was less than three lengths behind Poptronic that day and is 8lb better off at the weights here. Admittedly, all her wins have been over further, but a fast run race may see her finishing best of all over this trip. Judith remains unbeaten for the stable who have won this race numerous times and it will be interesting to see how she copes with the step up in class.
Prediction : 1st Pearl Beach 2nd Poptronic 3rd Judith

A chance is taken on dual course winner LUCANDER, who, following a below par effort at Windsor last month (unsuited by the early slow pace), can return to winning ways on the Knavesmire. The Flying Ginger picked up some valuable black-type at Pontefract on her latest outing and, with the possibility of an easy lead on offer, she must be feared. Marching Army bids for a hat-trick after back-to-back successes at Kempton last year, while Spirit Dancer, who was a good fourth in the John Smith's Cup earlier this month, is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Lucander 2nd The Flying Ginger 3rd Marching Army

Texas Man had Beauzon back in third (Maybe Even Never last of seven after getting upset in the preliminaries) when successful at Redcar last time and is likely to give another good account, but the relatively unexposed MOTASHAWEQ is preferred. Iain Jardine appears to have found the key to him since taking over from Marcus Tregoning, with 5f at Hamilton proving right up his street. Mereside Angel and Iur Cinn Tra are others to note in a competitive contest.
Prediction : 1st Motashaweq 2nd Texas Man 3rd Mereside Angel
