UK Horse Racing Tips: Gowran Park

HASIYNA may be able to step forward here in a tricky looking maiden. The Tamayuz filly showed improvement on her return this year when a staying on third at Sligo over just shy of 6f. This step up in trip and a more galloping track could bring a bit more. Neowise also showed significant improvement on her second outing when chasing home Lady Onyx here last month and looks an obvious danger from the in-form Jessica Harrington yard. Machnamh sets the standard here off a mark of 80 and may be better suited by this trip having been mid-division over six at the Curragh last time.
Prediction : 1st Hasiyna 2nd Neowise 3rd Machnamh

HOTROCKET ran really well on his handicap debut in testing conditions at Cork in April and can collect now back on a better surface. He won on good ground at Fairyhouse last summer and also ran a big race on his first outing for Joseph O'Brien at Dundalk so this livelier ground should suit better. The admirable veteran Spanish Tenor ran well in softer ground at Limerick on his last start and off the same mark he commands respect. Big Baby Bull won well in claiming company at Tipperary recently and has actually been eased 3lb since that run so he's another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Hotrocket 2nd Spanish Tenor 3rd Big Baby Bull

BARNHILL ROSE has been knocking on the door and may be able to gain a deserved win. The Mayson filly was denied by half a length at Roscommon last time and is reunited with Siobhan Rutledge now, who was on board when she gained her sole previous victory at Naas last summer. Together Aclaim was just a neck behind the selection last time and also went up 2lb for that performance so looks an obvious danger. Pinball Wizard won over course and distance 13 days ago and could be a big player again despite a 8lb hike for that victory.
Prediction : 1st Barnhill Rose 2nd Together Aclaim 3rd Pinball Wizard

This doesn't look a strong contest and it would be no surprise if the regally-bred KNIGHT TO KING could make a winning debut. The son of Kingman is out of Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Nightime which makes him a half-brother to top-class performer Ghaiyyath. Firm Handshake ran a promising race first time when third at Cork and wasn't disgraced in a decent maiden at Leopardstown last time when fading a touch late on after making most of the running. He looks the pick of those that have run. Lygon Street wasn't beaten far in a couple of strong maidens last season and could be a potential improver on his return.
Prediction : 1st Knight To King 2nd Firm Handshake 3rd Lygon Street

TREASURED SOUL was an eye-catcher on debut at Leopardstown when staying on strongly from the back to finish fifth behind Winston Spencer. He was the stable's second string that day and looks open to plenty of improvement from that initial effort. Dawn Session sets the standard here off a mark of 83 and was in front of the selection when second at Leopardstown on his penultimate start. He commands plenty of respect, having been placed again since, but Treasured Soul is fancied to improve past him. Cormac T looks another obvious contender after a couple of placed efforts and also has to be on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Treasured Soul 2nd Dawn Session 3rd Cormac T

SIR ANTONINO ran well on his return at Sligo on slightly easier ground and looks capable of striking off his current mark. He was outstayed by In From The Cold in the closing stages on his comeback run and the faster ground and a slight drop in trip should suit now. Gradulations ran well at Fairyhouse the other day when outstayed by Dancing Tango after trying to kick early in the straight. She has been eased a couple of pounds and is a big player if reproducing that performance. New Hill showed more on nicer ground at Leopardstown last time and remains on the same mark after that third-placed effort. She is another that has to come into calculations.
Prediction : 1st Sir Antonino 2nd Gradulations 3rd New Hill

SNOWHAVEN has been eased 1lb since her last run, giving her a chance in this company now, and she looks up to opening her account. The Le Havre filly kept on to finish fifth on her handicap debut at Leopardstown last month and going up a bit in trip now looks like it should suit. Ranko Express was a cosy winner here last month and could be competitive again despite an 8lb hike for that victory. Water Mint chased home Ranko Express over course and distance last time and is half a stone better off now so is entitled to get closer.
Prediction : 1st Snowhaven 2nd Ranko Express 3rd Water Mint
