UK Horse Racing Tips: York

In what looks a wide-open affair, HECTIC can get his supporters off to a flyer. He was last seen finishing third in a warm handicap over 7f at Doncaster earlier this month and, off an unchanged mark, another bold bid from this habitual prominent racer is expected. Cori Glory scored comfortably on her reappearance over 7f at Catterick last month and she can emerge as the main danger upped 6lb. Yaaser and Riot are a couple of others who merit respect.
Prediction : 1st Hectic 2nd Cori Glory 3rd Riot

MRBLUESKY shaped with more promise than the bare result suggests when finishing fifth on his debut over 5f at Redcar last month, becoming outpaced before running on well when the penny dropped. Now stepping up in trip for the in-form Richard Fahey team, he gets the vote to score. I Love Dad made a pleasing start when finishing third over 5f at Goodwood last Sunday and he is respected with improvement forthcoming, while last-time-out winner Isla Bella completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Mrbluesky 2nd I Love Dad 3rd Isla Bella

JUMBEAU was sporting first-time cheekpieces (retained) when getting the better of a useful sort over 5f at Windsor last month and, upped 4lb, she could be a force to be reckoned with in sprint handicaps this season. Katey Kontent came with a wet sail to lead in the dying strides over 6f at Windsor latest and another bold bid can be expected. Punters seeking an unexposed sprinter will surely look to Midream, who makes her handicap debut on the back of a solid third in Listed company.
Prediction : 1st Jumbeau 2nd Katey Kontent 3rd Midream

Although RIVER SEINE disappointed when sent off as favourite at Carlisle last time out, she finished ahead of the reopposing Baileys Jubilation in a warm Newmarket novice on her debut. The Soldier's Call filly has shown great speed on her two starts so far and this flat track will play to her strengths. The latter, who finished a creditable fifth in the Marygate last month, is an obvious threat. Sunshine Soul was second to a potentially useful type at Nottingham on debut and must also enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st River Seine 2nd Baileys Jubilation 3rd Sunshine Soul

REACH made a pleasing return to action when filling the frame over C&D last month. A progressive sort during her five-year-old campaign, the Sea The Stars mare can build on that reappearance run before perhaps attempting to double up in the John Smith's Cup next month. Penzance came up just short when looking to complete a five-timer at Newcastle in March but further progress isn't out of the question, while others to note include Oviedo, Scampi and Arthur's Realm.
Prediction : 1st Reach 2nd Penzance 3rd Oviedo

The unexposed ARCTIC MOUNTAIN is 6lb well-in under a 5lb penalty for scoring at Lingfield six days ago and, should the relatively quick turnaround be no issue, he's taken to repeat the dose. Pol Roger completed a double at Ayr last month and there might be more to come over this trip. That said, there ought to be plenty of pace on offer which could help a closer such as Shifter, who attempts to land a hat-trick following last month's Redcar triumph.
Prediction : 1st Arctic Mountain 2nd Pol Roger 3rd Shifter
