UK Horse Racing Tips: Yarmouth

Not beaten far when sent off favourite for her handicap debut at Carlisle last month, ELUSIVE ANGEL must hold every chance if building upon that effort and this looks like a perfect opportunity to break the maiden at the fifth time of asking. Stepping up in trip could bring about improvement in Alpine Girl, while Back Tomorrow is an unexposed sort who could be well treated on her handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Elusive Angel 2nd Alpine Girl 3rd Back Tomorrow

A promising runner-up on her introduction over C&D last month, RUN FOR THE SUN may well set the standard on form and the booking of Robert Havlin is another plus. She might have too much for Al Hujaija, who was narrowly denied at Windsor last time out, as well as newcomer Lou Lou's Gift, a half-sister to Group 3 winner Mighty Ulysses. Romantic Style cost 550,000gns and is open to improvement on the back of a satisfactory debut effort at Newbury.
Prediction : 1st Run For The Sun 2nd Al Hujaija 3rd Lou Lous Gift

A chance is taken with 200,000-euro newcomer EDGE OF BLUE, whose Group 3-winning half-sister struck on debut, and the Godolphin youngster is a son of leading first-season sire Blue Point. His stable has an excellent record here and he gets the vote ahead of Spaceport and Global Skies, who was behind a smart winner when a promising fourth on debut at Newmarket. Joycean Way and Reaching High are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Edge Of Blue 2nd Global Skies 3rd Spaceport

The Gosden stable has landed three of the previous seven renewals of this contest, including 12 months ago, and AL ASIFAH could enhance that record further. The daughter of Frankel disappointed as an odds-on favourite for the Ribblesdale, but she was so impressive in a Goodwood Listed heat shortly prior to the Royal meeting and could still make up into a filly right out of the top drawer. Infinite Cosmos made the frame in the Musidora and is interesting on her return from a 126-day absence. Sapphire Seas, who seeks a four-timer following her successful handicap debut, is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Al Asifah 2nd Infinite Cosmos 3rd Sapphire Seas

First Sight didn't give his running on his handicap debut at Newmarket in June, and the son of Dubawi has been given time off since. Fellow Godolphin representative Return To Dubai was a comfortable winner at Chelmsford and should have more to offer back on turf, but the vote goes to SCEPTIC. Second in a local Group 2 at Kinscem Park in Hungary earlier this month, Andrew Balding's charge had been contesting some warm handicaps prior to that and is fancied to get back on track from a seemingly workable mark.
Prediction : 1st Sceptic 2nd First Sight 3rd Return To Dubai

AVON LIGHT found a decent chunk of improvement when finishing second at Wolverhampton on her third career start and an opening mark of 77 for her handicap bow may underestimate her true ability. Shazam wasn't quite at her best when last seen at Bath and she is entitled to bounce back, while Typical Woman and Gold As Glass can fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Avon Light 2nd Shazam 3rd Typical Woman

SMALLEYTIME wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth under a penalty in a Kempton novice event and the return to 6f, a trip over which he was victorious at Salisbury in July, is likely to see him progress now he switches to handicap company. Dark Side Thunder was beaten less than a length into third on his penultimate start and is expected to be competitive, as is Champagne Sarah, who has the services of William Buick in the saddle.
Prediction : 1st Smalleytime 2nd Dark Side Thunder 3rd Champagne Sarah
