UK Horse Racing Tips: York

Another Investment takes a step up in class having ended a long losing streak with a facile C&D success and although respected, it might pay to focus on last month's Buckingham Palace form. NORTHERN EXPRESS (third) fared best of these, with Bopedro (sixth), Vafortino (10th) and Documenting (28th) all in behind. Michael Dods' gelding was just touched off in this contest 12 months ago, but he's fancied to uphold Royal Ascot form and make amends this time around.
Prediction : 1st Northern Express 2nd Another Investment 3rd Bopedro

SWINGALONG surpassed market expectations when finishing a cracking third in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last month and Karl Burke's filly could be tough to peg back now returning to the scene of last season's Lowther victory. Mammas Girl has failed to fire at the highest level since a taking triumph in the Nell Gwyn at Newmarket in April, but better is expected in these calmer waters. Juliet Sierra also enters calculations now returned to 6f.
Prediction : 1st Swingalong 2nd Mammas Girl 3rd Juliet Sierra

Narrowly denied in a decent contest on her second start at Ayr, NIGHTEYES must hold every chance if building upon that effort. She can put her experience to good use, with costly newcomer Symbology looking best placed to chase her home. Looking For Queen represents a stable that has had a first-time-out winner here this season so warrants attention, while Fighting Wren, a half-sister to May Hill winner Polly Pott, is another debutant to note for the in-form Karl Burke yard.
Prediction : 1st Nighteyes 2nd Symbology 3rd Fighting Wren

An open looking contest where the unexposed three-year-olds may dominate. Lingfield scorer Bleak surely has more to come moving into handicaps and is much respected but slight preference is for EL JASOR, who won with a fair bit up his sleeve at Redcar on his handicap debut and has only gone up 5lb. Onemorenomore is also interesting on a couple of pieces of form and his mark of 69 almost certainly underestimates his potential.
Prediction : 1st El Jasor 2nd Bleak 3rd Onemorenomore

INDIANA BE was a decisive winner over an extended mile at Hamilton 10 days ago and looks to have been found a nice opportunity to follow that success up. Edward Bethell's charge does have to carry a 6lb penalty for that four-length victory but that may prove lenient. Bosc Girl has made a pleasing start to her career and she is feared most on her handicap bow, while Sunny Orange deserves a second look.
Prediction : 1st Indiana Be 2nd Bosc Girl 3rd Sunny Orange

Local handler Paul Midgley boasts a strong hand, with five challengers headed by ELEGANT ERIN and Spring Is Sprung. The former gets the vote following her return effort in the Gosforth Park Cup a fortnight ago, when not getting a clear run, and the fact she has been dropped 2lb enhances her claims further. Spring Is Sprung is respected following a solid effort here on his penultimate start, while others for the shortlist include Princess Karine, Le Beau Garcon and Mereside Angel.
Prediction : 1st Elegant Erin 2nd Spring Is Sprung 3rd Princess Karine

The Jim Goldie stable can do little wrong at present and A LA FRANCAISE looks primed to return to winning ways after a pair of solid runner-up efforts in similar company. The four-year-old remains feasibly handicapped and she may have too much for the likes of the recent Beverley second Bringbackmemories, as well as Natchez Trace, who has been in fine form of late. Obsidian Knight and Sea Stone are entitled to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st A La Francaise 2nd Bringbackmemories 3rd Natchez Trace
