UK Horse Racing Tips: Salisbury

MAOKAI was staying on powerfully on his previous outing when scoring by one and a half lengths over 1m at Chepstow, and this looks a nice opportunity to follow up that success. Ajrad is also a last-time-out winner, scoring by two lengths over 7f at this venue, and this could be within his reach. Sandy Paradise was denied a hat-trick when he was last seen over the extended mile at Wolverhampton and also commands respect.
Prediction : 1st Maokai 2nd Ajrad 3rd Sandy Paradise

There are a few in with a decent chance of landing this contest, but perhaps none with a better chance than ROMAN SPRING, who made a pleasing racecourse debut over 7f at Chelmsford. Richard Hannon's charge was rallying late on, shaping as if this step up to 1m will be a positive. Circle of Fire represents Her Majesty and he appears likely to come on for his debut effort when third of six over 7f at Leicester. Tabaretta is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Roman Spring 2nd Circle of Fire 3rd Tabaretta

QUANTUM LIGHT has made a good start to life on the racecourse and has been threatening to get her head in front. Ralph Beckett's two-year-old was beaten by just three quarters of a length when second of nine over 7f at Kempton when last seen, and a repeat of that effort would see Frankie Dettori's mount go close. Honeymooner is an improving type and is noted, while the well-bred Doom should be respected on debut.
Prediction : 1st Quantum Light 2nd Honeymooner 3rd Doom

MARIA BRANWELL wasn't completely disgraced on her first attempt at 6f in the Lowther at York and David O'Meara's filly boasts strong credentials in her bid to get back to winning ways. Tagline would be a solid threat to all if returning to form after her latest effort when finishing last at Sandown, while Funny Money Honey, who makes her second start for Jessica Harrington, and Ivory Madonna are both capable of a decent showing.
Prediction : 1st Maria Branwell 2nd Tagline 3rd Funny Money Honey

MAKAROVA was runner-up at Goodwood on her latest outing to a rival who backed up that victory by winning two valuable prizes at the Shergar Cup and at York last month. The daughter of Acclamation races off a 3lb higher mark, but she is capable of further improvement with the booking of Ryan Moore a significant one. The return to 6f may benefit Cuban Breeze with Owen Lewis taking 7lb off, while others to note include Another Romance and Al Simmo.
Prediction : 1st Makarova 2nd Cuban Breeze 3rd Another Romance

PERSIAN ROYAL looked ahead of the handicapper when bringing up his hat-trick at Newbury last month and the son of Al Kazeem is expected to add another success to his tally, despite an 8lb rise in the weights. Having bolted up at prohibitive odds last time out, Indemnify could pose a serious threat on his handicap bow, along with Cabinet Of Clowns, who tackles 1m for the first time. Recent Windsor scorer Grey Fox shouldn't be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Persian Royal 2nd Indemnify 3rd Cabinet Of Clowns

A chance is taken on MAKINMEDOIT. Harry Eustace's charge drops in class and, having performed well from a 4lb higher mark at Chester in June, the three-year-old might be able to take advantage of a sliding handicap mark. Miramichi has been consistent of late and ought to remain competitive along with General Lee, who finished a good second at Newbury last month. Handicap debutant American Flag could be well treated on the pick of his form.
Prediction : 1st Makinmedoit 2nd Miramichi 3rd General Lee
