UK Horse Racing Tips: Salisbury

WILD CLARY showed marked improvement from his debut when he finished runner-up to a well-bred type at Newbury 13 days ago and appeals strongly with his bid to go one better. As both Pivotal Days and Van Aert have improvement to find, it would come as no surprise to see expensive purchases Luther and Dash Of Azure fighting it out for the forecast slot, with the former tipped to win that battle based on him being a half-brother to a winner over this trip.
Prediction : 1st Wild Clary 2nd Luther 3rd Dash Of Azure

With recent winning form being so thin on the ground, most of these have received leniency from the handicapper. From 15lb below his last winning mark, WHENTHEDEALINSDONE particularly appeals as one who is dangerously well treated and looks worth chancing on the back of some improved recent displays. Beyond Equal, Dusky Lord and Treacherous can all get competitive on these terms, but Cuban Breeze may be the biggest threat to the selection with ground conditions set to be ideal.
Prediction : 1st Whenthedealinsdone 2nd Cuban Breeze 3rd Beyond Equal

TANAGER was a creditable third in the Woodcote at Epsom on Oaks day and has a major chance of a first career success if he handles the forecast quicker ground. Sergio Parisse looked a work in progress but still managed to win a maiden at Windsor last month, so is highly notable kept to novice company. Similar comments apply to Oakley Boy, who won readily on Polytrack at Chelmsford and should have more to offer back on turf.
Prediction : 1st Tanager 2nd Sergio Parisse 3rd Oakley Boy

An open contest in which only a tentative vote can go to CHANGE FOR GOOD. A winner at Epsom on his debut, the son of Blue Point was highly tried thereafter and once again faced a stiff task when reappearing in a conditions event at Goodwood last month. Ollie Sangster's new recruit could be a different proposition now sent handicapping though, with Crown Estate and Leuven Power put forward as the most likely dangers.
Prediction : 1st Change For Good 2nd Crown Estate 3rd Leuven Power

Lord Of Love sets the standard with an official rating of 85 and would be hard to beat if running to form, especially if the application of first-time cheekpieces were to spark further improvement. However, the vote goes to GLENDOWER, who shaped with significant promise over the extended mile at Nottingham on his debut and looks set to be suited by a step up in trip. Galileo filly Dramatic Quest, a 675,000gns purchase and a full-sister to a handful of useful types, is worth monitoring in the betting market ahead of her racecourse bow.
Prediction : 1st Glendower 2nd Lord Of Love 3rd Dramatic Quest

SILENT GLANCE followed a debut maiden success with an impressive victory in a novice race at Wolverhampton. She looks a useful filly in the making and can continue her good progress in what looks a competitive handicap. Subsequent also makes his handicap debut on the back of winning at Haydock in good style and there should be plenty more to come from him, while Whathappensinvegas has won two of his last three outings but has a 5lb rise to contend with after scoring at Hamilton. Leicester winner Spaceport is upped in class, while Sam Hawkens drops back down in distance.
Prediction : 1st Silent Glance 2nd Subsequent 3rd Whathappensinvegas

DELICACY gave every indication that she will be winning soon when missing out at Nottingham by only a neck on her latest start. She won't need to improve much to open her account, and looks to have stronger form than Sunny Corner. The latter finished second at Chepstow, having won a lower grade contest at Bath on his penultimate start, and should be thereabouts once again, while Sweet Sister has the most scope of the remainder as she steps up in distance for her handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Delicacy 2nd Sunny Corner 3rd Sweet Sister
