UK Horse Racing Tips: York

VAL DE TRAVERS produced a career-best effort on his latest start at Musselburgh when scoring in impressive fashion. The four-year-old, who went up 8lb for that display, remains open to further progression for a stable currently in fine fettle. Stone Circle has benefited from being dropped to 5f on his last couple of starts, winning at Chepstow and Nottingham, while others for the shortlist include Son And Sannie, Eeh Bah Gum and last year's winner Soul Seeker.
Prediction : 1st Val De Travers 2nd Stone Circle 3rd Son And Sannie

In this competitive contest, marginal preference is for MONDAMMEJ, who hit the line with plenty of conviction when runner-up to a classy rival in a Listed race here. The five-year-old could relish the step back up in trip and looks poised to give another good account. Lucky Man only found a subsequent Listed winner too strong on his penultimate outing and he rates the most immediate danger. Silver Samurai was by no means disgraced in the Wokingham and he also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Mondammej 2nd Lucky Man 3rd Silver Samurai

The Jane Chapple-Hyam-trained CLAYMORE improved for the step up to this trip when winning the Group 3 Hampton Court at Royal Ascot last month and, getting a handy weight-for-age allowance, he ticks plenty of boxes. Dubai Honour hasn't been seen since disappointing in Dubai, but he has some excellent form in the book against top company and is likely to be in the mix, while Dubai Future was an easy winner of the Wolferton and also enters calculations.
Prediction : 1st Claymore 2nd Dubai Honour 3rd Dubai Future

Having hit the crossbar on his first two racecourse starts, CATCH THE PADDY duly landed the odds at Hamilton last month. The form of his debut second has been franked (the winner has twice run well in Group company), and he may prove too strong for his rivals. Richard Fahey's Dare To Hope, who appeared unlucky not to finish closer in the Super Sprint, could make amends in this smaller field, while the hat-trick seeking Florida Filly has the ability to play a leading role.
Prediction : 1st Catch The Paddy 2nd Dare To Hope 3rd Florida Filly

In a competitive contest marginal preference is for GEREMIA, who caught the eye when finishing well over 1m4f here a couple of weeks ago. The four-year-old should relish this step back up in trip, having placed over course and distance in May, and he remains on a workable mark. Danni California and Red Force One are recent winners who merit plenty of respect, while Blow Your Horn and Fox Vardy complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Geremia 2nd Danni California 3rd Blow Your Horn

The Tim Easterby-trained GIBSIDE was a most impressive winner at Ripon last week and, receiving 10lb and upwards from all his rivals here, he could prove hard to beat. The biggest threat might be Let Her Loose, who has won three times already this season and is clearly a mare in fine form at present. Molinari rarely runs a bad race and, although he's running off a career-high mark, he looks to have solid credentials.
Prediction : 1st Gibside 2nd Let Her Loose 3rd Molinari

A chance is taken on the top-weight LITTLE PRAYER, who came up short in a 0-90 at Newmarket earlier this month. Richard Spencer's filly drops in class now, which may see her return to the winner's enclosure at the chief expense of Bin Hayyan. Ey Up Its The Boss' winning streak came to an end at Newcastle on his latest outing but he could easily bounce back, while Bond Power shouldn't be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Little Prayer 2nd Bin Hayyan 3rd Ey Up Its The Boss
