UK Horse Racing Tips: York

TELE RED put a costly Newbury defeat behind him when successful at Haydock last week and as that came in an apprentices' race, he escapes a penalty, meaning he is able to compete off 5lb lower than his revised rating. He can take full advantage, although Golden Melody is also well-in following her Ripon second and heads a list of dangers that includes in-form pair Clear Angel and Strongbowe, who fought out a Carlisle finish.
Prediction : 1st Tele Red 2nd Golden Melody 3rd Clear Angel

QUEST FOR FUN (third) finished under two lengths behind Riot, with Cliffcake (fifth) on his latest outing at Doncaster and he is 3lb better off on this occasion, which could see him turn the tables on his rival. The son of Lope De Vega is now 4lb lower than his last winning mark, so he looks feasibly treated to go very close. Ascot Adventure has put in some solid displays of late and could have a say after his second at Musselburgh.
Prediction : 1st Quest For Fun 2nd Riot 3rd Ascot Adventure

A comfortable winner in maiden company on her debut earlier this month, BELLA WELLA could be worth siding with stepping up in class. She left the impression that there would be more to come on that occasion and she is taken to get the better of Polly The Rocket, who finished a fair third over 6f at Pontefract on her racecourse bow. Sailthisshipalone finished a staying-on fourth that day and cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Bella Wella 2nd Polly The Rocket 3rd Sailthisshipalone

The race in which Roundhay Park (winner), Little Muddy (second), Muscika (third) and Oso Rapido (fourth) competed in here 13 days is a strong reference point and each is considered with similar ground conditions forecast. The last-named of that quartet appeals most on the revised terms and could provide a bit of value in his attempt at turning the form around. However, LE BEAU GARCON has also shaped up nicely in recent efforts and returning to 6f could provide the key to unlocking further success.
Prediction : 1st Le Beau Garcon 2nd Oso Rapido 3rd Roundhay Park

Queen For You was only narrowly denied in Listed company over a mile here in May and followed that up with a respectable effort in the Coronation at Royal Ascot. The daughter of Kingman has to be respected but marginal preference is for ELECTRIC EYES. Karl Burke's filly created a big impression when chasing home subsequent Fillies' Mile winner Commissioning in the Rockfel last year. Her pedigree suggests that she may be better as a three-year-old and should relish this step up in trip. Others to consider are Midnight Mile, Golden Lyra and Long Ago.
Prediction : 1st Electric Eyes 2nd Queen For You 3rd Midnight Mile

SPIRIT DANCER was far from disgraced when finishing eighth from a wide draw in the John Smith's Cup over C&D recently and this appears a suitable opportunity for the Richard Fahey-trained gelding to notch a first success of the season. Box To Box arrives in good heart and appears the main threat despite the rise in class, while Brunch is dangerous to discount and can go well if seeing out this stiffer test.
Prediction : 1st Spirit Dancer 2nd Box To Box 3rd Brunch

Kokomo is likely to be popular on her handicap debut and the first-time hood, along with a drop to the minimum distance, may bring out further improvement. The vote, though, goes to KNEBWORTH, who benefited from a change to more positive tactics when scoring at Haydock last week and he is taken to back that performance up, despite carrying a 6lb penalty. Honour Your Dreams, Betweenthesticks and Star Of Lady M are others likely to be in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Knebworth 2nd Kokomo 3rd Betweenthesticks
