UK Horse Racing Tips: Salisbury

HOT DAY went close under this rider when third at Newbury earlier this month and, off the same mark, he can go close again in this slightly easier contest. Simon Walker is always a rider to respect in these races, his mount Florence Street has been coming down the weights recently and she can also can go well. Mountain Ash is another to consider with the cheekpieces back on after a disappointing run at Chepstow last time when trying the visor for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Hot Day 2nd Florence Street 3rd Mountain Ash

It looked a strong maiden that SIGNCASTLE CITY contested at Newmarket last time when finishing a respectable fifth. He showed up well for a long way that day so this shorter trip should be to his liking and he can get off the mark here. It will be interesting to see what the market makes of Richard Hannon's debutants, with both Brasilian Princess and Talis Evolvere bred to win races and they could be the ones to chase the selection home.
Prediction : 1st Signcastle City 2nd Talis Evolvere 3rd Brasilian Princess

WE'RE REUNITED made a return to form when scoring comfortably at Bath last month. A 3lb rise might be generous for that and if in the same form today, he can go in again here. Q Twenty Boy has been running well under Isobel Francis recently and is another to consider off the same mark as when narrowly beaten at Ffos Las earlier this month, while Hattie C finally got off the mark at Brighton 10 days ago and is capable of making the frame.
Prediction : 1st Were Reunited 2nd Q Twenty Boy 3rd Hattie C

The race might not be run to suit Andrew Balding's Conflict here, and it might be worth siding with KARUOKA to get her first win. Eve Johnson Houghton's filly went close from the front here over 7f a fortnight ago and a reproduction of that effort could be good enough. Unless the market suggests otherwise, Topofthetrifle looks set to follow them home on her first career start.
Prediction : 1st Karuoka 2nd Conflict 3rd Topofthetrifle

SECRET HANDSHEIKH was staying on powerfully when third, beaten by just half a length, over 5f at Newbury last time and connections of the gelding will be hoping that the step back up to 6f is the perfect tonic for John Gallagher's four-year-old. Delagate This Lord is a consistent performer but the fact his last win came two years ago is a little concerning, while Strike isn't ruled out with Rhys Clutterbuck taking off a valuable 3lb.
Prediction : 1st Secret Handsheikh 2nd Delagate This Lord 3rd Strike

ATLANTIS BLUE ran a big race last time when second over 1m2f at Chelmsford, beaten just half a length by a progressive rival, and this looks like a very good opportunity for David Menuisier's three-year-old to get her head in front. Bellstreet Bridie has been running in handicap company and could give the selection plenty to think about, while Mountain Queen may not be too far away either.
Prediction : 1st Atlantis Blue 2nd Bellstreet Bridie 3rd Mountain Queen

Alkhattaaf ran a nice race when second over 1m5f at Bath last time but having been raised 1lb for that three-and-a-quarter-length defeat, this may not be plain sailing for Chris Down's runner. EASY EQUATION was a neck behind in third that day and could reverse the form, with Stan Moore's four-year-old shaping as if this step up to 1m6f will suit, while Geelong should also enjoy this longer trip today and appears likely to feature.
Prediction : 1st Easy Equation 2nd Alkhattaaf 3rd Geelong
