UK Horse Racing Tips: Epsom Downs

AMERICAN BELLE confirmed the promise that she displayed on debut when a close third over 7f at Newmarket last time and that form gives her a big chance this afternoon. Serious Look was a beaten favourite at Beverley recently but he may have bumped into a useful rival on that occasion and it would be no surprise to see him make the frame. Tellateller edges out Kohana Breeze to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st American Belle 2nd Serious Look 3rd Tellateller

In an open event the marginal preference is for LORD RAPSCALLION, who was only beaten a neck into second over C&D 10 days ago. Off the same mark this afternoon, the six-year-old may take plenty of stopping. Sir Titan also hit the crossbar when last seen and he should not be underestimated. Marlay Park is on a workable mark, having scored off just 1lb lower here in July, and he completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Lord Rapscallion 2nd Sir Titan 3rd Marlay Park

Rozalia was beaten just a neck into second at Wolverhampton last time and is likely to go well once again today. That said, preference is for THIBAULT, who caught the eye when filling second place on his return to action over C&D recently and is entitled to improve for that run. The Irish-raider Derry Lad has to be of some interest, while Bad Company has an each-way chance.
Prediction : 1st Thibault 2nd Rozalia 3rd Derry Lad

A case can be made for plenty of these, including the Stuart Kittow-trained Monteria, who steps up in trip for his handicap debut. However, preference is for ARTHUR'S VICTORY, who looks primed to appreciate a stiffer stamina test, given that she kept on well for third on her latest outing over a mile. She has been steadily progressive recently, but Pride Of Nepal drops in class and may not be far behind her.
Prediction : 1st Arthurs Victory 2nd Pride Of Nepal 3rd Monteria

Edinburgh Rock seemed to appreciate a stiffer stamina test on his most recent outing, and the application of blinkers could spark further improvement from the unexposed gelding. That said, GREATNESS AWAITS recorded an encouraging second last month and that form gives him a big chance in a race of this nature. Aurora Papillon steps back up in trip and can also give a good account.
Prediction : 1st Greatness Awaits 2nd Edinburgh Rock 3rd Aurora Papillon

SLY MADAM appeals most following a smooth success over C&D last week for which she has been handed a 5lb penalty. Sheena West's filly had been in fine form prior to that as well and she may have too much for Maysong, who drops in class after making the frame at Goodwood last time. Painless Potter is another to note on his return to handicap company, while last year's winner Curtiz should be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Sly Madam 2nd Maysong 3rd Curtiz

Plenty of these arrive here in excellent form and that includes TOTAL LOCKDOWN, who was involved in a dead-heat for first at Newmarket last month over further. John Butler's charge has progressed with each start this season and conditions could prove ideal here as he looks to fend off the challenge of the hat-trick seeking Mount Kosciuszko, who has not been seen since June. Runner-up on his last two starts, Tudor must also enter calculations along with Improvise.
Prediction : 1st Total Lockdown 2nd Mount Kosciuszko 3rd Tudor
