UK Horse Racing Tips: Yarmouth

Many of these need to improve on what they've shown recently, so a chance can be taken on TRADESMAN. David Simcock's charge finished down the field in a trio of novice events last year, but it would be no surprise were the son of Mastercraftsman to take a step forward now switched to handicaps from a potentially workable mark. Habanero Star and Raqisa can battle it out for the minor money.
Prediction : 1st Tradesman 2nd Habanero Star 3rd Raqisa

MOONLIT CLOUD sprung a minor shock when winning at Nottingham 12 days ago, an effort for which she was subsequently raised 2lb in the ratings. The daughter of Sea The Moon seems versatile regarding ground conditions and she may be able to go in again. Flower Of Thunder already has three C&D victories on her CV and must be of interest back here, while Delphi Dreamer is worth monitoring in the betting ahead of his handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Moonlit Cloud 2nd Flower Of Thunder 3rd Delphi Dreamer

With little form in the book, the market is likely to reveal some clues, but preference is for STATE OF DESIRE. Charlie Appleby was just touched off in this race last year, but his representative, a well-bred son of the imperious Frankel, appears to hold all the correct attributes to see him go one better. Mart and El Bodon make plenty of appeal on paper and both must be considered, while American Tale looks the pick of those with experience.
Prediction : 1st State Of Desire 2nd Mart 3rd El Bodon

A costly purchase from the recent Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Ups, JIWIN could be primed to strike on debut for an in-form yard, which has unleashed some smart two-year-olds at this track in recent years. Similar comments apply to newcomer Mantra, with William Buick booked for the ride, while Zoumoon is another to note for the shrewd James Ferguson stable. Of those who have racecourse experience, Phoenix Duchess stands out after a somewhat promising debut at Newmarket.
Prediction : 1st Jiwin 2nd Mantra 3rd Zoumoon

Narrowly denied at Catterick last time out, PURPLE REIGN must hold every chance if building on that effort, and the step up in trip should aid his cause. Ed Dunlop's charge has dropped 1lb below his last winning mark and he is fancied to see off the likes of Testing Faith and Smokey Malone, who has strong claims on his penultimate success at Southwell.
Prediction : 1st Purple Reign 2nd Smokey Malone 3rd Testing Faith

The value may lie with THE SPOTLIGHT KID, whose two career wins came over C&D last year and his recent effort at Kempton should have put him spot on for this assignment. The hat-trick seeking Dark Side Thunder arrives in excellent form from the all-weather, while Covert Mission is another key player despite having never won on turf. Sharvara and Thapa VC can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st The Spotlight Kid 2nd Dark Side Thunder 3rd Covert Mission

Waleyfa merits plenty of respect given her recent all-weather victories but her turf form is not as strong and that has to be a concern. With that in mind, preference is for GIRL INTHE PICTURE, who is only 1lb above her last winning mark and should improve for her recent seasonal return. Others to note are Thomas Equinas and Anglo Saxson.
Prediction : 1st Girl Inthe Picture 2nd Waleyfa 3rd Thomas Equinas

BRILLIANT BLUE seemed to have benefitted from a wind operation when second over a mile at Brighton earlier in the month, and he could take some stopping off the same mark here. The consistent Spanish Mane also hit the crossbar on her most recent outing and she could prove to be the main danger. That said, Chagall and Revolutionary Man should not be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Brilliant Blue 2nd Spanish Mane 3rd Chagall
