UK Horse Racing Tips: York

STAINCLIFF was sent off at 25/1 on debut at Sandown eight days ago, but she ran a race full of promise to finish runner-up and a repeat effort would give her a big chance here. Invincible Molly has posted two solid performances so far and should not be discounted, along with All Agleam, who improved from her on debut run to finish a fine third at Haydock earlier this month.
Prediction : 1st Staincliff 2nd Invincible Molly 3rd All Agleam

A gelding operation and the switch to handicap company has been the making of UNLIMITED, who backed up his breakthrough triumph at Newbury with a last-gasp Kempton victory. William Haggas' three-year-old has been bumped up another 5lb, but he did account for an in-form opponent at the Sunbury circuit and is worth sticking with. Invisible Friend showed the benefit of wind surgery when scoring at Doncaster, while Award Dancer bounced back to form when coming out third best in a blanket finish at the last meeting here.
Prediction : 1st Unlimited 2nd Invisible Friend 3rd Award Dancer

EMPEROR'S STAR chased home an exciting prospect on his Newmarket debut in July before coming unstuck in testing conditions at Sandown. The son of Sea The Stars opened his account in workmanlike fashion at Chelmsford last time, but an opening mark of 91 would appear to be within his range and he is taken to make a winning nursery debut. Classy Boy merits consideration now upped in trip, while Up The Jazz must also be noted back on turf following a below-par run at Southwell.
Prediction : 1st Emperors Star 2nd Classy Boy 3rd Up The Jazz

THE TURPINATOR was value for more than the winning margin suggests at Thirsk last time out and a 4lb rise could prove to be lenient as he looks to follow up. Runner-up over course and distance twice before and a narrow winner at Thirsk recently, No Nay Nicki is a key player, along with Percy's Lad, who wasn't beaten far at Chester last time. Orbaan and Wild Lion are classy sorts who cannot be ruled out, while Another Investment and Fortamour are also capable of being in the shake-up.
Prediction : 1st The Turpinator 2nd No Nay Nicki 3rd Percys Lad

Despite finishing a neck in front of Jm Jungle (fourth) when a close third in a similar event at Haydock (Ventura Express sixth) a fortnight ago, Arecibo is 1lb better off with that rival and another bold bid is expected from Robert Cowell's eight-year-old. However, slight preference is for DESPERATE HERO, who has gone up 6lb for his impressive Newbury success but the booking of a 5lb claimer helps ease that burden and he remains very much on an upward curve. Intrinsic Bond should give it a good go off top weight.
Prediction : 1st Desperate Hero 2nd Arecibo 3rd Intrinsic Bond

The progressive SOLUTION looks the way to go after he secured a double over this distance at Lingfield, and he is only 4lb higher for that effort. Marbuzet is also on a hat-trick and struck with his head in his chest at Musselburgh last week so has to be respected off a 6lb higher rating. Zimmerman could have a say after his third at Chester, when he had September Power behind him.
Prediction : 1st Solution 2nd Marbuzet 3rd Zimmerman

FRENCH INVASION was not beaten far in a valuable event at Haydock recently and that followed a close second at Newmarket. The son of Le Havre is clearly on a workable mark and he should not be underestimated now eased in grade. Golden Move is another who is likely to appreciate having his sights lowered, while Harappan and Sweet Fantasy have both won their last two starts and complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st French Invasion 2nd Golden Move 3rd Harappan
