UK Horse Racing Tips: Down Royal

A case can be made for many of these but preference is for OCEAN JEWEL, who put in a promising effort on her debut at the Curragh last month. The half-sister to Mother Earth is entitled to improve for that experience and could be hard to beat. Profitable Edge has valid form claims but could be vulnerable to less exposed rivals. Others who could go well are Big Time Girl and Bonny Power.
Prediction : 1st Ocean Jewel 2nd Big Time Girl 3rd Bonny Power

SCEOLAN benefited from dropping back to 5f when third at Tipperary last month and a repeat of that performance may prove to be enough in her attempt to gain a first career victory. Sosallycanwait improved when runner-up at the Curragh on her latest outing and the daughter of No Nay Never is likely to enter calculations back in maiden company. Jupiter Express, who sports blinkers for the first time, and Squeezebox, who had excuses on his first start at the Curragh, are feared most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Sceolan 2nd Sosallycanwait 3rd Jupiter Express

Lazer Port returns to maiden company after a good third in a Curragh nursery and is entitled to have a big say, but if cheekpieces help Futurity Stakes seventh SEMBLANCE OF ORDER to repeat his August Leopardstown second, he may be the one to beat. Panic Alarm has been gelded since his Curragh third when beaten four lengths and is another to consider, though he needs to improve a little to get into the mix.
Prediction : 1st Semblance Of Order 2nd Lazer Port 3rd Panic Alarm

APPROACHING BEAR's narrow reverse at Killarney looks to be the standout form in here and the son of Belardo can uphold form with Slaney Tide (third) and Pub Talk (fourth), despite being worse off at the weights. Fendi is one to note following a career-best effort at Tipperary last week, while Belatucadros has the potential for improvement over further. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Lady Skipper, Slick Chick and Texas Boy.
Prediction : 1st Approaching Bear 2nd Fendi 3rd Slaney Tide

In a wide-open event the marginal preference is for SHEISHYBRID, who hit the crossbar when last seen on the Flat at Tramore and she confirmed her well-being with an impressive hurdles victory 11 days ago. Scenic Look won a competitive event on the Flat at Galway in late July and she was an easy winner over hurdles at this venue a week ago. Dark Voyager edges out Peregrine Run and Rich Belief to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Sheishybrid 2nd Scenic Look 3rd Dark Voyager

SIR ALLEN wasn't disgraced when outrunning his odds at Galway last time and there is every chance that the gelding is capable of further progression on his third start of the season. Joupe ran with credit on his return to action at Naas last month and she is likely to be competitive along with Grappa Nonino, who had no chance after being hampered on his latest outing at Killarney, and last week's Tipperary scorer Yokkell.
Prediction : 1st Sir Allen 2nd Joupe 3rd Grappa Nonino

Firstman has to be of interest but he does have an added 6lb for a half-length success at Roscommon last time, which may make his life more difficult. MR COLDSTONE wasn't beaten far when sixth at Killarney a couple of weeks ago and, although yet to win on the Flat, he could go well for Willie Mullins, while Secret Secret has his first start for Emmet Mullins here and could be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Mr Coldstone 2nd Firstman 3rd Secret Secret
